Theme from “Medical Center”

(Lalo Schifrin)

Lalo Schifrin recordings
Verve VK-10659 (70-L-1711-REV.)

Although the television program Medical Center made its debut in September of 1969, Lalo Schifrin’s theme song wasn’t used until the show’s second season, in 1970.  It exists in several incarnations, including a version recorded on 18th September of that very same year for MGM Records on 45 and as part of the compilation package, Medical Center and Other Great Themes Composed and Conducted by Lalo Schifrin.

The version listed here appeared in March 1971 on Verve Records, backed with “All for the Love of Sunshine”, and is only available on 45.    The original version appears on Most Wanted:  Best of Lalo Schifrin 1968-1969.
