Thank you so much Paul for that info- now I will try to see if I can find any cues from THE GOLDEN HORDE. It may be a tall order though. I did find a compilation CD on line from Luxembourg that included the title cue (is that the one in question?) but I don't know if any are available for purchase.

You're welcome; I'm glad I could help. And yes, the liner notes (written by David Hirsch) indicate it was the main title theme from 'Golden Horde'.

Additional Salter cues heard in the U.S. version are said to be culled from 'Bend In The River' and 'Untamed Frontier' (both 1952).
