The music, like Kolchak: the Night Stalker, The Twilight Zone, & Rod Serling's Night Gallery is as much as star as the celebs who acted in the episodes. Distinctive, striking, the music lasts with you & snaps you right back to the age when you first heard it. Good job Cosmorico. Beautiful capture of some dynamite scores & cues. Thank you.
This is the TV music that finally broke Goldsmith into major studio movie work. He was nominated for an Emmy, but before that Alfred Newman recommended Goldsmith to Universal Pictures. The rest is history......
Like you, I am a fan of Jerry's work since the beginning of my interest in film music in 1989. Several bootlegs exist, and a few years ago I found some of them on the web. I try to improve the sound to present a suite like this last one in good condition. Soon, I will post another suite of a rare music of the composer :)
Hey,....I'm no expert on Goldsmith's music, but at least three of the excerpts from this suite are NOT his music: 1.) 8:02 is Morton Stevens' elegant "society" waltz from "The Devil's Ticket" 2.) 9:55 is from a Stevens score for one of Thriller's silly black comedies (probably starring Edward Andrews) 3.) 13:05-end is Stevens' sentimental, cafe-style waltz (w/ shocking transformation) from the opening scene of "The Prisoner in the Mirror". Also, I hate to be picky...but where's Goldsmith's "Grim Reaper", possibly the greatest TV score ever composed? If you decide to re-edit this suite, why not include it along with some of "The Weird Tailor"? Overall, I'm glad you're assembling and posting these tributes to the late, great Goldsmith. LR
Hi, Hassoben Soba. I've just seen your interesting comment. I really like Jerry Goldsmith but I don't know the "Thriller TV series"(unknown in France). I just had an old bootleg cd with several cues presented as Jerry Goldsmith composition. Tracks had no title which could tell from what episodes they were extracted from. Now I know that all the Titles are not from JG. I will try to find more details and more cues from that tv show, and especially from the "Gream reaper" episode (if it is available).
+Erik Wheat I'm sorry, I don't have a lot of information about what episodes the music come from. But, after research, I can say that the music comes from "Darl Legacy" (0:00 to 1:37), "Well of Doom" (1:38 to 2:50), "Late date" (5:16 to 7:00), "Yours truly, J. the Ripper" (7:01 to 8:00) and "Mr George" (11:55 to 13:08).
There's never enough Goldsmith. Did anybody ever capture so many moods ?
This is gold
This is Great !!!! Loved "Thriller" !!! Recognized "The Well of Doom" !!!!

Could you tell me the names of those bootlegs? I need to find them! I can’t get enough of this stuff.
You're doing The Work of The Lord, Cosmo. Thank you for these Jerry gems, from all of us.
Goldsmith, Steven's and Rugolo. Classic Karloff scores. Nick
Thank you for this !! I listen to it often. Oddly enough my favourite episode is "Cousin Tundifer". But thriller was a great series.
Thriller and The Twilight Zone. Goldsmiths first scores.
Thank you Lavaman2000 ! I'm gonna post a new Goldsmith's suite with additional music from "Air Force One". I hope you'll like it.
Thank you for having posted this music! Had never heard before! How do You manage to get such rare and valuable works of the great Jerry Goldsmith?
These suites and Twilight Zone are classic Goldsmith
My favorite scored episode is "The Closed Cabinet." It is in the style of the 15th century, kind of greesnsleevesque. It is not here however.

Are you stating that Jerry Goldsmith "ripped-off" another composer?
@@RonaldCharlesEpstein , the actual CD credits both composers.
Great music!!! Which episodes does this music come from? I have the entire series on DVD. I'm most interested.

+COSMORICO Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.
Narratting THRILLER may not have been a great gig for Boris Karloff, but at least he was alive in 1960. His rival Bela Lugosi died in 1956.
+Ronald Charles Epstein> Boris and Bela both are undead.
I am waiting for the cheaters and the last of the sommevilles.
Where are the cheaters and the last of the Somervilles?
Some of today's reboots seem inferior do to the horrible DAW produced soundtracks.
