Marvel Superheroes unknown tracks
« on: July 11, 2024, 05:00:39 AM »
Now that a full blog has been made and every episode gone through, now is a good time to create a thread for all the remaining unknown tracks in Marvel Superheroes.

A few notes notes; first, the show first aired in September of 1966, so tracks should be from before and up to 1966.

Second, I've left out the unknown tracks that were later used in Spider-Man, as it would be redundant, most have heard those already, and the high likelihood that they're from Video Moods EA 1067 and 1068 still stands.

Third, for finding unknown tracks, it seems that MSH primarily sourced its music from these Emil Ascher-distributed libraries:
Conroy (BM series)
JW Theme Music
Impress
Harmonic
FDH Mood Music
Video Moods
Harrose Music

These are what Google Assist ID'ed and I have double checked along with the 2 that you have stated:

MSH7 - "Hall of Fame" - IA 218 (Impress)
MSH8 - "Heavies" - FDH 242 (FDH Mood Music)
MSH10 - "Suite of Corn: Villainy" FDH 240 (FDH Mood Music)
MSH34 - "Clifftop" IA 111 (Impress)

Good finds!

I've also just ID'd another one in the pile: msh12 is Dramatic Tracks Two (3) by Peter Yorke, BM 239. (One that I own and shared several years ago, no less...)

Edit: Realized I'd missed an unknown track from the Sub-Mariner episode Dr. Doom's Day, but I got it ID'd now, it's the fifth of the Brull Bridges by David Aprichard and Wally Kent on the B-side of CBL 488.

Adding new reply to say that msh36 and 37 are both the same variation of With Noble Purpose (Grand March) by Trevor Duncan, CBL 424. This specific Harmonic record doesn't seem to be available to listen to anywhere, but the composition is on a 2013 CD called The Golden Age of Light Music: Great British Composers, Vol. 2.

Another bump: msh39 is another portion of the already-ID'd Romance and Tragedy by Harry Lubin.

Edit: Just got msh14, it's Hopeless Situation, also by Lubin.

Bumping to postulate that the two harp tracks in here likely are from an Emil Ascher-distributed library, as both were used in the Mercury Records Storyteller LP of Jack and the Beanstalk, and Mercury's Storyteller records are loaded with cues from libraries that Emil Ascher distributed (Video Moods, Conroy, Impress, etc.).

My theory is that they may have come from Conroy BM 275, as anecdotal evidence shows there's a suite called "Harp Music" by Bruce Campbell on that album (not to mention the aforementioned Jack and the Beanstalk record used one of Robert Sharples' Comedy Bridges from the very next album, BM 276).

Unfortunately, a vinyl rip of the album doesn't seem to have appeared online yet, and although it is catalogued on KPM's website, only one entry from Harp Music is available on it (as per usual, given the KPM website's sloppy handling of theme suites on the BM series), so the other parts of the suite are a complete mystery.
