It's killing me that so many of these have been identified through the months, but not your/my holy grail one (and the potential Jim Johnston cue used for the Bret/Backlund Survivor Series recap). Might be destined to never ID those.
Sadly that's what it seems like. I tried everything I could to locate them, searching 100s of labels, 1,000s of songs throughout the years, emailing labels, artists, even WWF video producers/editors etc...No luck.
I do have my theories though. There are 5 really good tracks missing. I know the WWF and WCW used a very obscure French label called "Magazine Records". They were distributed in America through "Promusic" (
https://productionmusic.fandom.com/wiki/Promusic). So WWF and WCW must have used them to see if they could get some interesting tracks from some foreign labels they otherwise would not have known about to enhance their video productions. We know both promotions scoured through a ton of labels. We know alot of users here have gone through so many labels and tracks...so how could they still be missing?
Well, my guess is if they're not from the usual suspects like a discontinued FirstCom or Chappell/AV album...that it's from one of the missing/discontinued whole labels from Promusic. I'm thinking it might be from one of these French labels, 80s and 90s albums -
Amplitude
Justement Music
Mondiophone
Sonimage
EpervierSadly no one has the Drama/Action/Suspense albums from these labels (80s to 90s years). It's in the archives of Universal Music Group or someone else, who knows? Could be a couple of other obscure labels as well that were on Promusic, but these 5 had a sound profile that could match the 5 missing tracks. It would explain why even the guys with huge collections on here can't find them, since they don't even have access to these labels. If not, then it's from FirstCom/Chappell, but that's the best I could come up with...
1 - https://vocaroo.com/110skE3M3Jc5 - probably from one of those discontinued French labels
2 - https://vocaroo.com/19J1W1FjioRR - could be discontinued FirstCom or Chappell, NFL also used this track...It's from 1993 and older
3 - https://vocaroo.com/15MOOf5qhpYr - probably from one of those discontinued French labels, sounds similar to the 1st track in its dramatic style
4 - https://vocaroo.com/17fB1DI5lcsM - probably from one of those discontinued French labels, sounds like it's from the same album as the 3rd track
5 - https://vocaroo.com/1kpdX8GVSsrB - probably from one of those discontinued French labels, intro sounds similar to the 3rd track, could be from that same album
