Man, I really wish someone would sort and release the vast library of music that man had accumulated. Some of his later stuff (Washington Behind Closed Doors comes to mind) doesn't appeal to me, but he wrote a prodigious amount for TV earlier on. I am always amazed at the overlaps too... He creatively re-used material all the time. There's Outer Limits material in The Rat Patrol and The Invaders and it turns out that the distinctive material in The Outer Limits - "The Hundred Days of the Dragon" was originally written for a Stoney Burke episode you can find on Youtube. I imagine the multiple rights/copyright issues of material specific to different shows might be an insurmountable issue but I still have vague hopes of a 10-20 CD set...
