I just ordered this sucker for the Williams music!
Buy it for the Williams, keep it for the Grusin!
(Not that the Williams is bad in any way, but just wait and see what you'll likely be playing more.)

"Mission: Impossible" for example, had low sales. A classic series with classic scores that had as many, if not as many, requests over many, many years for the scoring. So, "Columbo" is now questionable.
On the other hand, if people who had the money to spend, bought sets like "Mission: Impossible" and "Superman: The Animated Series" (another low seller), it would encourage other sets.

It must be just me then who sees the Columbo music regularly cropping up on ‘most wanted’ lists on these message boards.
With regards to sales, I suspect very little of the music discussed here makes any profit worth talking about. We’re into a specialist market which regularly sees releases limited to just 1,000 copies. When one states that the Columbo music should ensure sales, these are the small figures I’m looking at. There are companies, for the love of it, I don’t know how they are able to do it, which release discs that appear to have very little in the way of market appeal; Columbo on the other hand, I think, I may well be wrong, has a broader appeal than most.
With regards to Mission: Impossible, there have been CD’s available of this music for many years, which would surely have affected sales of the admittedly more comprehensive collection. Columbo on the other hand has never had a proper release, and I suspect all of Goldenberg’s music for the series would probably fit on two CD’s, rather than the hefty and expensive 6 CD’s that make up Mission’s music.

There's been two (one was later expanded, twice I think), with limited selections, in inferior sound, from only two composers, and one shared a CD with score from the 1980's series.
People were asking for more of it though, over the decade I have been posting online, not saying, "Well, we had enough M:I with two releases, so I'm good."

Time to revisit this.
I never think to spin it, for some reason. Maybe because of the range of composers and shows/films.
I guess there was never a volume 2.
I was never able to do a Volume 2, no, but I was happy to bring Intrada a 2CD set of Then Came Bronson. So there are actually three discs' worth of music for that obscure show available!

Well done Lukas. I got all those at the time and I will be eternally grateful. I loved that series. You will always be one of my heroes. Thanks!

I just never grow tired of this superb 5 disc TV collection.
It always jumps out for another spin when I'm in a "what shall I play?" kinda mood.
It truly is a 'Variety Box of Delights'.
Trundling through Disc 1 right now.
THE DEADLY TOWER by Don Ellis has just delighted me. I love that last track, where it tries to be hopeful and uplifting but Michael Small just won't let it.
Glorious release!

I also really enjoy the John Parker scores to ASSIGNEMENT VIENNA.
More so than the jazzier Dave Grusin scores, which I rarely play.
I think I must be a bit of a John Parker fan, cos I love his CANNON stuff on the Queen Martin set from LLL too.
