Are there any scores of "The Twilight Zone" that were never released on C.D. (the ones that were actually backup recordings), but WERE available as isolated scores on the D.V.D.s?

There are many of them as isolated bonus tracks on the DVDs!
Are you looking for ALL of the composers? Or just Herrmann and Goldsmith?

For some reason, "Time Enough At Last", by Leith Stevens, exists neither on the soundtrack ablums nor as an isolated score track within the Image Entertainment DVD packages.
But Jerry Goldsmith's "The Four Of Us Are Dying" and "Nightmare As A Child" are preserved as DVD bonus tracks, as is Nathan Van Cleave's "What You Need", Lucien Moraweck's "The Purple Testament", Rene Garriguenc's "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street", and Lyn Murray's "A Passage For Trumpet".
Ironically, some of the episodes which had no music written for them have an isolated score bonus track on these DVDs, which consists of library stock music usage.

And all these above are only from the 1st season...
...there's much more isolated DVD tracks throughout the subsequent seasons' packaging.

The 4 disc set from Silva is great but there is indeed a lot of music left out.

maybe we can get another set released in the future.

Yeah, I have the Silva set and the DVD box sets - until something else is released, I'm pretty happy with what I have.

There is some really great, classic Television music among this material...:-)

"Nightmare As A Child" was the only Goldsmith score that was not on the C.D.s.

Nope. "The Four of Us Are Dying" was not on the CDs, either.

In fact, none of the recordings on the CDs are the same as those found on the DVDs' isolated scores. The CDs consist of (very good) rerecordings done after the season was over. The musicians' rules at the time allowed previously recorded music to be used as library cues only for the season for which they were initially recorded. To be used in subsequent seasons, the music had to be recorded again. This is why no season 5 scores appear on the "Twilight Zone" CDs, as that was the show's last season. No need to rerecord anything for season 6!

However, the Jazz Theme, a piece that Goldsmith composed for the library was tracked in the score, first heard when Ace Hammer's face changes while he's shaving.

So, to clarify, the reason those original recordings couldn't be released on LP/MC/CD is for similar reasons to their use in other seasons (you did not specifically state this)? Once re-recorded, the music could then be used in any other show/movie/music release? I take it the 'Outer Space Suite' is the original recording though, correct?

As I type, I am listening to Fred Steiner's great and underrated music for Miniature, specifically underscoring the moments when the villain enters the parlor to sweep the young matron away. Really appreciate these isolated scores.

Steiner's work on that show was phenomenal. MUTE is so good, I watch it and marvel that scores like that for television were just taken for granted back then.

Really appreciate these isolated scores.

Dear Sir and gentle(wo)men of the pool,

Would it be possible for any of you to check in Season 3 the following episodes (of the DVD box set, I'm not talking about the Blu-Ray release) :

FIVE CHARACTERS IN SEARCH OF AN EXIT since I don't get/can't find the isolated score (as stated on the folio) : instead of the isolated score there are...2 audio commentaries !

A QUALITY OF MERCY : no isolated score (the folio states "isolated score")

CAVENDER IS COMING : no isolated score (once again, the folio states "isolated score")

I just wonder if it's not a typing mistake and, as a matter of fact, if BY ANY CHANCE, those "isolated scores" refer to other episodes of the third season...which are not listed in the folio as having an "isolated score" (I hope you follow me...).

No rush for answering : I've got plenty of gems meanwhile ! I began to rip the audio tracks from season 04 and my favourite so far are : MUTE, MINIATURE and PASSAGE ON THE LADY ANNE.

But I will change my mind in five minutes, so...

Many thanks for all !

Angel

The Bluray are suppose to include more isolated music.
Aside from it's main theme, the Perry Mason series seems to have relied heavily on the Twilight Zone cues. They definitely became library cues.

Angel, you're are correct. The info on the dvd inserts (and promoted elsewhere) is incorrect.
Suppose to have isolated scores but dont:
Quality of Mercy, and Five Characters (disc 2), and Cavender (disc 5)

However, on the earlier individual releases, Volume 40 "Cavender is Coming" is suppose to have the isolated score. That could be misinformation, too.

Have you discovered any other scores missing from the dvds?

Not yet. But since I have ripped isolated score from season 3, 4 and 5 only, I will be able to tell you about season 1 and 2 on wednesday or thursday.

I keep you posted and...thank you for having checked : I thought I might have a problem with those DVD's !

Cheers !

Angel

Well, since I couldn't sleep I checked and ripped the following isolated scores from season 1 and 2 and the problem is... I get TWICE DVD 5 of season 1 and NO DVD 4 !!!

This is quite upsetting since A World of Difference is one of my top 10 favourite episodes and it says "isolated score" and, worse, Nightmare as a child contains an isolated Goldsmith's score you can't find on the 40th Anniversary CD set !!!

So, yes the other isolated scores on season 1 and 2 are "there", as stated. None is missing BUT I can't tell regarding the fourth DVD... I sent an e-mail to Image Entertainment and hope they will accept to send me a genuine DVD 4... but I'm not sure of this : they might think I broke it and I want it to be replaced !

Anyway, sorry for those who consider this should be on the Non-Film Score Discussion but since this thread was "on" and I began to answer on it, I thought it would be logical to end it on it...

Sincerely,

Angel

PS : Incidentally, if you know by any chance the number of the previous two DVD's - individual release - where I can find both episodes I'm talking about I really could use the info ! Just in case Image Entertainment turns me down...

Wow ! That's impressive !

Thank you VERY MUCH for the great deal of info !!! I really DO appreciate. I live in France and I usually find sellers from USA who accept to send packages to Europe. So, with a little bit of luck, I will be able to find the two DVD's with both episodes from season1 I'm looking for at reasonable price.

Thank you again for all,

Sincerely,

Angel

PS : regarding isolated score I usually prefer to rip it using a DVD audio extractor rather than listening to it "live" (because there's too much silence between bars...), but since easter eggs are often difficult to find thank you : this will help me to make sure at once !

If you're just looking for the music (until you hopefully get a replacement dvd), I could help.

The blu-ray sets are superior even to the terrific "definitive" DVD sets in that Image has included additional extras, and isolated soundtracks for ALL the episodes for season 1, 22 of 27 for season two and all 37 of season 3....

I transferred the audio, which was taken from original 35mm fullcoat 3-track mono and half-inch 3-track, for the definitive DVD and Blu-Ray release. The music was separate along with the efx and dialog and this is how we were able to do isolated scores. Unfortunately, this wasn't possible on "Time Enough At Last" (and "Howling Man" plus several in Season 5) as there were only mono optical tracks available, where the music is 'married' to the efx and dialog.
