WWF wrestling documentary library tracks help
« on: December 22, 2023, 09:00:41 PM »
Hello everyone, was wondering if I can get some help with two tracks here...I found most of these but two escape me...This first one from 0:13-0:34 is an electronic one but the holy grail for me is the track @ 19:00-20:40. I know this one has been searched for a while with little luck but since I figured out a majority of these, maybe this can narrow the search down? It sounds late 80s, early 90s and I'm sure comes from a discontinued album/track from one of these labels represented throughout this documentary. It's about 1:40 long give or take.

Amount of times tracks were used from specific labels on this doc -
12 - FirstCom
10 - Non-Stop Music
3 - MusicHouse
2 - KPM
1 - Abaco
1 - Chappell AV
1 - Unknown


The other two unknown on here I'm fairly certain come from WWF's own in-house producer at the time, Jim Johnston, so not library tracks from any of these labels...

Your Holy Grail is mine as well.  One of the main ones I've been looking for for about 20 years.   I have another thread going here about that song, as well as one of the ones that you think may be a Jim Johnston piece (the Bret/Backlund recap one).  I've had no luck with a YouTube help video either.  Someone responded (might actually be your YouTube account) that they haven't had luck finding it either.  These are literally the last 2 pieces of production music I've been hunting for.  I've identified 3 holdouts over the last year or so.  It would be amazing to identify them one day.  I even sent messages to former WWE production staff on IG, asking if they'd be good enough to give a listen and see if anything rang a bell.  No luck, not that I blame them.

Yes, it's very frustrating not being able to find these...I posted this on here to inform that it may be from one of these labels, if there is a pattern and not some unknown/forgotten label that was used once and discarded.

I would add this orchestra piece as well as one of the last big ones left to discover - https://vocaroo.com/14ojm1mqUWEe

Hmm, unfortunately I don't know that one either.  If this was 2003 or so, I feel like I'd remember a lot more names/songs, but I've probably forgotten a bunch through the years.  That said, this one doesn't sound even a little familiar.

For a while I really thought the "holy grail" track was from FC-C2 as we have always only heard the B version. I finally got to hear the original release and to no avail, it was on that CD.
Now I search and collect WCW tracks and unfortunately Non-Stop Music is a bugger for hiding many of their albums. I have tracks used WCW from 1998 to 2001 that is 100% from Non-Stop (as they are on the later albums) but are not on the known discs from the 90s. I have a 2 discs NSRR - Rock Radio which contain these tracks (although only short format) which shows they was around back then too.
I do wonder if this holy grail is from Non-Stop but long time discontinued?! It is hard to say. I have tried to search for years on further information but with no luck.

I have tried to find this track too even though I no longer collect WWFE tracks but I shall continue to and hopefully someday we shall locate it.

Shame nothing was on that C2 album...The Non-Stop thing is weird since they were founded in 1981...yet the first albums we see from them start in 1994...that's a 13 year gap. And even with those mid-90s albums, tracks have been discontinued that aren't on the revised albums online now...like "Trash Talk" for example -

A new, cleaner version with vocals removed was added for the "holy grail" track.

The first one (0:13 - 0:34) is Building For Tomorrow (B) by Ben Bartlett off of CHAPAV58 - Propulsion (Chappell AV)
They used the main track Building For Tomorrow (A) quite a bit as well (Bret vs Austin for ITH: Revenge Of Taker, Austin vs Shawn Michaels KOTR 97).
