Following on from the Within The Woods Score project, this page aims to identify some of the score tracks used in a number of the other Super-8 Shorts. This is by no means a painstakingly comprehensive list, it is just the 'low hanging fruit', notable tracks that could be easily identified either by just listening to them, or using Shazam; an excellent Android music identification app. This may be taken further in the future as this list is far from complete, but most of the tracks people will find memorable from the shorts, are identified below.

Should you wish to track this list of titles down, it's worth noting that a number of these cues such the one taken from Lipstick, have never been released on CD and were only ever available on LP records. Others may be available on CD, but still be quite expensive to buy.
One other point of note; while the 2012 Synapse Films Blu-ray & DVD Combo release of Thou Shalt Not Kill... Except does feature the Super-8 prototype; Stryker's War, it has been re-scored with original music to remove any copyright issues. If you buy this short from Josh Becker's website directly, it has it's original untampered musical score. Currently there are five shorts discs available; disc one has Stryker's War, disc two has The Blind Waiter & Oedipus Rex, disc three has Holding It, disc four has Acting And Reacting & The Final Round, and disc five has Cleveland Smith Bounty Hunter, The Case of the Topanga Pearl, Super Student, and Public Enemy Revisited. To buy everything costs $60 plus postage, although it's well worth the price with all the profits going directly to the shorts' creator, as well as the fantastic quality of the telecine transfers. Josh will also autograph the discs free of charge if you ask him. Here is a direct link to the DVD purchase page on Josh's website.
