The Missing Soundtrack Music

Several missing cues (Aunt Bedelia's reminiscences, cues from 'The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill' and 'Something to Tide You Over') have never seen commercial release. Aficionados will have recognized them as cues appearing in episodes of In Search of... (1976) (most prominently The Castle of Secrets (1981)) and Tales from the Darkside (1983). These were from the Capitol Music Hi-Q Library, mostly from a single album, D 107-108 Ocean / Ghosts, composed by William Loose.

Finally, that album has been uploaded to Youtube in its entirety:

Which cues are you talking about exactly? They haven't been released on the extended soundtrack CD? I just purchased the extended soundtrack CD last month and it seems to have cues that were not featured in the film, or at least only partially in the movie. Are these the ones you're talking about?

No, they have not.

Go to the link and listen to it. You'll recognize cues from the film which are not included on your soundtrack album.

Wow, just checked it out. Not only do I wish I had a copy of this on CD, but this music, to me, is very relaxing. Beautiful, a shame it isn't on the extended soundtrack CD. Do you know if it's available anywhere?

There are LPs of Capitol Hi-Q album D 107-108 Ocean/Ghosts floating around on Ebay and other such sites, though they're rare.

The only other way I can think of would be to license the album from Ole Georg Music (http://www.olegeorgmusic.com/), which has charge of the Capitol Production Music Library. Although undoubtedly the more expensive option (admittedly I've no idea how much - if you find out, let me know), I'm sure one would obtain a superior version of the tracks without the hiss and pop inherent in LPs, as well as the sound loss and degradation that has come from it having passed through untold generations of copying and re-copying as mp3s.
