  • Unknown: On Time (c.1960s-71) Peter Reno (Peter Taylor & Cliff Twemlow) [De Wolfe] (I can find no information on this piece)

Attributed to Bruton Music on IMDb. Bruton was not founded until 1977, but they have reissued earlier tracks from the Southern Library of Recorded Music. I can find no information on Lazare's classical arrangements, but his name appears on at least one Southern release, and other arrangements are attributed to him on IMDb soundtrack listings.

  1. Apparently, the original Major Records album is catalog #95 "Production Music", but the arrangement is credited to Michael Reynolds instead of Joanne Rosen. Could be a pseudonym perhaps.

  2. You mistyped 60 as the catalog number instead of 95 for the Major Records/Valentino recording of "The Star-Spangled Banner" by Michael Reynolds.

    Also, the music for the Titane-Mammoth Productions logo is actually "Full Brass Call" by Spencer Nakin, also from DW/LP 3096: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/pek19ut7sy1d5jevtayyw/A7-Full-Brass-Call.mp3?rlkey=47dve7bycdbzqy1wmjwh85zxz&dl=0
