Excerpts from Five-O Soundtracks

 

Many years ago, I created a CD of music from the soundtrack of Hawaii Five-O, since there was nothing commercially available. (There is now, you can order the original Capitol LP on CD from Soundtrack Album Retailers.)

Aside from music from the Capitol LP, this CD consisted of recordings taken directly from the show, including music, sound effects and dialogue.

In 2004, I redid this homemade production to incorporate two suites that composer Morton Stevens put on a demo cassette tape which he released for the shows Hookman and How to Steal a Masterpiece.

That is what appears below, plus one additional track from the demo tape. To listen to the selection, click on the colored dots.
