CALLING ALL LIBRARY FANS, VINYL JUNKIES AND GENERAL CRIME JAZZ OBSSESIVES!
A FELLOW AGENT IN THE FIELD NEEDS HELP DECODING SOME OBSCURE TRACKS FROM YESTERYEAR. I'LL LET HIM EXPLAIN.....
I was wondering if you could help me identify the source of a couple of themes.
Let me give you the background first.
I was born in Israel, and in the early 70's there were a lot of shows in the then new Instructional Television Center that featured beautiful and exciting themes. I, and countless other people have been influenced forever by these musical pieces, without ever knowing their true source. In later years I have found out who was the musical consulant that used all these pieces of music. Alas, Mr. Yohanan Kaldi was old by then, and could not remember anything specific. He just said most of them were from dead stock that record distributors gave him to use.
I and other fans have tracked down some pieces and they range from Lalo Schifrin, to Al Caiola, Frank Zappa, and Syd Dale.
Here are 2 crime themes that I can not identify, and would really appreciate it if you could possibly try:

First, from a show called Crime & the Law:
Second, from a show called Police File (main Character Inspector Neer):
Lastly, a "bonus" question. Not crime jazz at all, maybe a fuzz instrumental, but this is the one most fans want to identify:
The poor quality is becasue I recorded these from VHS which was recorded at the archive of the Instructional Television Center from beta format, which was converted from 2" video reels.
Thanks you so much,

I've uploaded these to zshare so you can listen without having to download them. As you will hear from the examples there is some great music contained in the soundtracks to these shows and hopefully someone out there will recognise one or two tracks.
If anyone does then please leave a comment below telling Ran (and the rest of us) where this music originates from. Thanks for your help.
