The Dailymotion channel I was using, is predictably dead. At the moment there does not appear to be another channel to use to continue the show, so I am moving on for now.

Yeah I hope tapes can be found some day for a release from this series, but if that's truly impossible I would gladly help fund a re-recording along the lines of the Goldsmith Tadlow Thriller volumes, to cover his contribution to this show. Kickstarter/Indiegogo, anyone? Leigh Phillips?

Yes, great idea! I would gladly contribute to such a Kickstarter project for new recordings (ideally involving Leigh Phillips) of Goldsmith's wonderful music for The Walton's!

Three years later, it's pretty awesome that Intrada included it as an option in their latest Kickstarter poll... and it's in 3rd place!

I suspect that if it were the only Goldsmith option in this poll, it might be winning. But I certainly understand why Goldsmith's The Chairman is crushing things. It's got a very well-selected but very incomplete album, in sub-par sound. Familiarity + frustration = interest. With The Waltons, I think a lot of people don't know (or remember) what they're missing -- SIX original and varied scores for the series by Goldsmith... that would make one fantastic 2CD set.

Keep in mind the following possibility: even if it doesn't place well or even stays at third place, Goldsmith is a popular-selling composer, so regardless of it's rank, Intrada or any other label sees there is interest in "The Waltons" and that will come to something eventually.

I hope that is indeed the case! And with the recent reboot telefilms retaining Goldsmith's theme, I think the sooner it happens, the better...

Goldsmith wrote six original scores for the series proper after the pilot telefilm The Homecoming. Jon Burlingame confirmed with cue sheets and recording dates. Any others credited to Jerry are tracked.
This would roughly result in a two CD set with an hour or so of Jerry’s music on each disc. Presumably there would be room to include some key series cues by other composers in the mix, as a bonus… would make a nice stretch goal for an extra session, on a potential Kickstarter campaign.

The Love Story (only one he recorded in 1973).

I go by what the on-screen credit says. When and where I recognize a cue being tracked in any TV series, I make note of it (two examples: "The FBI" and "Police Woman").

Which makes sense since you don't have access to the documentation Jon Burlingame has encountered in his research. It's sometimes hard to notice tracked cues in a series! Many people keep referring to Goldsmith composing original music for “The Closed Cabinet” and “Last of the Sommervilles” on Thriller because I guess he got a screen credit, but those two were rare episodes of the series which used tracked music for whatever reason.
