Hello, since seeing this film on MST3k back in the day, and enjoying on its own right, I've wondered about the origin of some of the library cues used throughout. While the Woolner Bros. US release of the 1961 Italian original maintains most of Gino Marinuzzi Jr's original score, nearly every moment on the film lacking music originally is crammed full of library cues from Gordon Zahler's General Music Corp. There's a lot of Hans J. Salter (most notably from Creature From The Black Lagoon), some JW Vault tracks that Youtube's content ID has ID'd, but some still eludes me. I'm particularly interested in the opening titles music, which is also used in the finale of "First Spaceship On Venus", and this music at 10:33, which is repeated several times throughout the film (the Youtube embedder keeps giving the wrong timestamp): https://youtu.be/c1i6JDk8uLU?t=634

Thank you in advance for any help in identifying these tracks!

The music at 10:33 is part of the "Hercules: Opening Credits" by Enzo Masetti https://youtu.be/LTcE30JEtYU?t=113

That isn't the case; the video you linked is simply audio straight from "Hercules And The Captive Women", erroneously labeled as Masetti's score for the 1958 "Hercules".
