TONY MOTTOLA DANGER TV SERIES 1950

The 1950 MGM album of music composed and performed for the CBS TV weekly drama series "Danger" is believed to be the first recording of a television soundtrack.
Composer, Guitar – Tony Mottola
Vocals – The Ray Charles Singers
MGM Records (either the 7" or 10" LP)
Included a very nice stereo version (without vocals) of DANGER theme from his LP "Mr. Big."
Declicked all tracks, decrackled first 7 tracks. I didnt make the original digital copy.

From http://www.spaceagepop.com/mottola.htm:
Director Yul Brynner (soon to switch roles and make his big splash as the lead in "The King and I") invited Mottola to devise an original score for the show. Brynner was impressed by the effectiveness of Anton Karas’ zither score for The Third Man and wanted Mottola to come up with something similar.
The theme Mottola came up with was simple but effective: a single repeated note, interrupted by a dramatic chord when a dagger struck a fence on camera. According to John Burlingame’s account in his book, TV’s Biggest Hits, "Musicians began referring to it as ‘the "Danger" chord,’ or ‘the Tony Mottola chord.’"
