Please, Will some Orchestra please record the THEME
The opening theme is a breathtaking, classical, instrumental, Masterpiece! I can’t believe it’s not available on CD anywhere! (Just the other 1968 Movie Theme) But hearing it in "TV Low FI MONO" doesn’t cut it. I once heard a good High School Band in Suburban Chicago play it live in a parade and it was a spine chilling experience. To here it in fully orchestrated with all it’s instrumented solo parts. I’m not sure where the band leader even got the sheet music because I can’t even find that. (He might of put it together from ear). PLEASE, PLEASE, IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE that may persuade a quality orchestra to RECORD THIS THEME by Jerrold Immel. I Read it was published under the name “God’s Country” I would by this CD in a heartbeat along with many, die-hard Fans. Better yet Does any one know where the original Master Recording are at to fully restore this lost recording. Even the background music was great in the show.
I can only hope if a DVD ever comes out, it may have an Audio special feature. My first theme wish has already came though on The Wild Wild West (the series) DVD. Did you know producer John Mantley worked on this classic show too! Another lost recording with a “Never a Quality Soundtrack” was ever released, until now. A ”Must Check It Out” item. By the way what’s the hold up of a DVD RELEASE. I love James Arness so much better here than in Gun Smoke. My kids will be grown and gone (watching today’s TV TRASH) before I have the chance to watch this show together with them.
