The statement about a piece of music from this episode being released on CD needs more detail. Released by whom? Is it a cover version? Did Nelson put it on one of his albums before he died? Was there a Six Million Dollar Man soundtrack album no one's told us about? Without that bit of detail detail, there's no real point in mentioning it. And if the CD recording isn't by someone notable, such as Oliver Nelson, it may not be worth mentioning anyway. There are many versions of the SMDM theme available on CD, too.

| + | :I've added more to the note. The linked soundtrack article has more info. Essentially Nelson put out an album the following year, just before he passed away, with "Baja Bossa" on it. The piece is presented as a self-contained jazz piece, with a Spanish guitar intro, a sax driven declaration of the theme, and extended keyboard solo, then a return to the theme at the end. The baseline is unmistakably the "Six" style, and a trace of the Six theme is even present. What it is not is an actual recording of the soundtrack; the theme is unchanged and Nelson's band sounds unchanged, so this is close indeed, closer than Three Seconds to Dr Wells or the Groove Holmes to the show theme. It was recorded in 1975, right in the middle of his work on SMDM. While the album is nigh impossible to find on CD (a vinyl reissue is available), the track itself is in a Flying Dutchman anthology that's on Amazon, you can get a preview of the track here: [http://www.amazon.com/Flying-Dutchman-Anthology-Various-Artists/dp/B0009G3BUQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1292442056&sr=1-2 link] |
