Just wanted to let you know they will be releasing every score done for this series in a cd set , I hope they include the stereo unused version of the theme .
Believe it or not some tv scores were recorded in 2 track stereo and some 3 track , wild wild west , ufo , star trek , space 1999 to mind where surviving stereo tracks exist

IIRC, in 1978, TV sound distribution (USA) was upgraded.

The VTTBOTS soundtrack had amazing fidelity, with musical instruments
whose sounds wouldn't survive the (pre 1978) TV sound distribution
(except in the cities where the Network signal originated - NYC/LA etc.).

I'm wondering why composers created TV soundtrack music using
musical sounds that wouldn't be heard by the majority of TV listeners.
