I'm not talking really about the songs but about the background music [going on SouLSeek I found even "My Favorite Martian"-the TV series, not the Disney or Filmation remakes---has a soundtrack album..]

I do know a handful got credited for music:[as mentioned in years past]'
[most frequently credited]
Gerald Fried-all three seasons
Morton Stevens-second two
George Wyle-all three seasons
Frank Comstock, Herschel Burke Gilbert, and John Williams [credited as "Johnny Williams" then[ first season only.

However one of John Williams important contributions was the skipping da da DA da da DA, in vairous moods--happy, or mysteirous ["Ghost a Go Go","You've Been Disconnected","Allergy Time","Friendly Physician", several in a row, last three at the open] or real fast with fast ending [middle season only.]

But ALSO, according to Internet Move Database [yes, I know: not always accurate, but keep reading, and to ASCAP.com and BMI.com THESE composers

[all of them uncredited]

Lyn [male[ Murray
R.D.Day
Arthur Harold Wilkinson

Even Jerry Goldsmith and Billy May contributed scores to Gilligan! [all of these "tracked" for later use--May and Goldsmith may have come along to do those1966-67 final season swahsbuckling cues at the end..]

As I've mentioned five years to ten ago :) the same large group of beds were used no matter who got credited. By the color episodes, as mentioned, not counting theme composer George Wyle, it was both Gerald Fried and Mort Stevens taking turns, and cues compsoed by one wound up in episodes with another's--the Harold Hecuba episode opens with a rarely used opening cue, with the music credited to M.Stevens [for once directly listed as "Music", no "Supervision" following"], reused in the second Boris Balinkoff appearance at the end, where Gerald Fried, the main color season credited music man, got his credit.

It may ba also that Martin Denny, Roger Roger, Eddie Lund, Art Lyman and even Les Baxter, and others contributed uncredited scores.

Anyway, who wants to see an underscore soundtrack album set, which it would have to be, or not to be, and the songs can also be included. I'm for one tired of justing having the theme tunes..:)

Definitely count me in. The underscore alone in "Pass the Vegetables Please" makes it a favourite episode of mine.

It would be great to have the soundtracks to this and many other 60s shows.

GI has some of the best and most varied music of any TV show I ever heard.

There's one piece that's even quite alarming!

I'd definitely love it as a soundtrack.

Never going to happen, but it would be awesome

I thought the same for Vic Mizzy's "Ghost and Mr. Chicken" soundtrack but it happened.

Yikes! The ghostly organ music gave me nightmares as a kid. I remember refusing to go to bed after watching that film when I was 10. I even bet it would give me nightmares now, and I'm in my twenties. **COUGH** :eek:

Years ago, I found samples of much of the incidental music on a GI website. They were .wav files and were recorded directly from episodes, but were surprisingly good. I wish I could tell you where to find them, but I don't remember and I lost them along with my last ancient PC. Maybe they're still out there.

Excellent files..Gerald Fried, Herschel B.Gilber, John Williams, and others did those..(though the Boris Balinkoff castle theme is still absent.)

Unfortunately they have laugh track and episode sounds as well.

I'm all for it however, I'd like one for the Beverly Hillbillies they had an awesome score.

Thanks, Matt......may well have gotten some from there and it's a great page! :)
