I'm really looking forward to the release of Busting!

And, Yavar, great work with your cue lists. Hope these see somewhere the light of the day on CD.
If I remember correctly some of the piano source pieces listed above are from Goldenberg's motion picture score "Red Sky at Morning" which was also an Universal production.

I would love to see both 'Play it Again, Sam' and 'The Last of Sheila' released! Great scores.

He also had a rejected score for the 1974 "Fun With Dick and Jane" (I am also looking into two other films where he was replaced -- as I recall both falling in that "golden" '70's period everybody likes from him).

Not to be missed is Goldenberg's score for "Haywire" (1981), done for CBS. Some beautiful saxophone writing there.

I just thought I'd bump this for my work on Columbo and ask Intrada: might we get that two-disc set of Season 1 any time soon?

Yavar

This is my first time seeing this thread. Excellent suggestions, Yavar.

I honestly just want to know the possibility of any Columbo set being released. High quality music is definitely there in great abundance, but this series is probably far from having much appeal among collectors these days.

Columbo is one of many staples in the rich musical world of Universal Television.
