I have two samples thereof, one from 1969 and the other from 1970.<br /><br />But as for Ib Glindemann, another piece of his from another Hi-Q disc/reel (VM-174, I believe), titled "Construction Site" (written under the alias "Dan Kirsten"), was familiar to a generation of New Yorkers: The first few seconds (heavy on xylophone and horns) were used as the sounder at :00, :20 and :40 on all-news station 1010 WINS from about 1974 to 1993 (after which re-recordings based on that number would be used). A bit more of that instrumental served as the opening and closing theme to the syndicated health advice series <i>Viewpoint on Nutrition</i> with Dr. Arnold Pike, from the 1970's into the '80's (in New York, it was a Saturday morning staple for much of that time period on WOR-TV [Channel 9]). Would anyone know from what time period would that VM-174 have been, and which other places (if not Hanna-Barbera) would have used this or other music from it?wbhisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270661237413315760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-21905356509868761322015-08-28T20:46:06.899-07:002015-08-28T20:46:06.899-07:00Mike, I wish I had an answer to your question, but...Mike, I wish I had an answer to your question, but I don't.

Until tonight, I knew next to nothing about it, only that Carlin / CPM somehow evolved from it.<br /><br />In mid-2010, 2 members of the SPIDEY-JAZZ Yahoo Group managed to identify a number of tracks used in Seasons 2-3 of SPIDER-MAN (1967-70) as being composed by William Loose & Emil Cadkin. These tracks turned up on the KPM website in the Carlin section, in CPM-2, CPM-4 & CPM-5. (Strangely enough, these have since disappeared from the site.)<br /><br />Since that time, I've managed to identify some of these tracks as having been used on THE UNTOUCHABLES, THE FUGITIVE and 8TH MAN. THE UNTOUCHABLES definitely put the date as early as 1959, 8 years before the 2nd season of SPIDER-MAN, when the "Library Tracks" made their debut on the cartoons.<br /><br />There's still a TON of tracks used on the show that so far no one has been able to identify, but it's crossed my mind that there may well be an old LP or two crammed with this "film noir" music, and if we could locate the tracks we already know, the "missing" ones may also be there together with them.<br /><br /><br />Of course, there's this business (mentioned on the "Bryan's Lounge" blog) about track titles being RE-NAMED... what's WRONG with these people??? I myself like to add "alternate" titles to many of these tracks, but only within the context of the SPIDER-MAN series. (Good examples being-- "L.S.D." by Alan Hawkshaw, also known as "DOWN THE HOLE", and "Diskothik" by Bill Martin & Phil Coulter, also known as "UNDERGROUND SWING". Martin & Coulter, I only figured out a few years ago, are the SAME guys who wrote & produced for The Bay City Rollers, including their big hit, "SATURDAY NIGHT".)Henry R.
