Hi-Q (production music)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi-Q was a brand and library of production music produced and distributed by Capitol Records in the late 1950s-early 1960s. It saw quite a bit of use in several movies and other productions, most notably in the 1968 film Night of the Living Dead, in which producer Karl Hardman used tracks from the library, and then enhanced them by adding electronic effects to the tracks (such as echo and reverb).

The Ren and Stimpy Show, Amazon Women on the Moon, Gumby and countless other productions have also used cues from the Hi-Q library.

Hi-Q was released by Capitol on both a series of 12" phonographic records and a set of open-reel audiotapes as well.
