Book thanking Gumby for restoring the status quo with the marbles so they're now regular again, and then places them in the book: "Entertainment Link 6"/JACK COOKERLY, WILLIAM LOOSE,& EMIL CADKIN [Capitol PMS series]
End title: "Gumby Adventure End"/WILLIAM LOOSE
PLOT: Gumby finds two lost clay "notes" that he has to restore to their normalcy.
NOTE: "Sinister Suite" and "Entertainemnt Link" are renamed titles in the CARLIN library.This has most of the cues in this short.
This epsiode tries to make an unusual story out of Hershey Kiss-looking marbles, and succeeds. Broken down into "Outcast marbles" short version missing the footage of the green guy going to different places in the toy store", and "Odd Ball" with the remainder of the film, in ealry 60s, this has the green guy operating a steam shovel when he loses control, and then causes it to turn around. Stepping out, with all the marbles falling out of the shovel, Gumby now slides on the, into a book entitled "The outcast marbles", with two marbles, red and blue [and this was in Black and White teleivison era!], and into an odd adventures. After getting hit by the book, Gumby the walks away when the book suddenly talks and he, uh, skates over.
The book tells of the two little marbles who lost their shape and turned into various shapes. Namely, our new heroes. They come out of the book and Gumby's now gotta go and try to [in what is now "Odd Ball" till further notice] change them by virtue of various sounds found throughout the toy story, back, going to a rowboat and to a train,. and finally, [end of "Odd Ball" scenes] a toy box with a lot of toys.
Gumby tries to push them up to get one, but then enters a case of sheer serendipity: an accidental Rube Goldberg effect where ALL of the toys in succesion fall off through the store and then all crash.This does bring our toy geusts stars back, and Gumby puts them back in the book, who then thanks him for "helping us to end our story happily".
Gumby then just smiles into the camera as [fade then unfade] a bunch of marbles roll up to spell "The End".
Apparently this may have been done to do something like "Too Loo", which had two talking music notes also needing some help. This is almost entirely pantomime, except for the book talking. It could possibly be producer/creator Art Clokey, given his playing different characters and telling stores, doing this voice. The middle was removed to become "Odd Balls", the same thing that happened to all the early shorts....unless they were cut in two different parts like some others.
The background music was largely from Capitol production music except for the open,from Syncro Fox, a pleasant little tune titled "Monorail" by composer JACK BELASCO, SF-4 in Capitol library, heard also in the series's "Rain Spirits", and near the end PHILLIP GREEN's cue retitled by CARLIN in CARLIN CAS 402 DRAMA DETECTIVE cassette as "Sinister Suite". I have no idea what the original title is.
BTW ALL the "Box of toys/Gumby pushing toys off" music is now identified [as it's called in the CARLIN PRODUCITON MUSIC SITE,in MAIN SITE: CAR 402 DRAMA DECTECTIVE SUSPENSE as "Sinister Suite", over half a dozen variations.] by PHILIP GREEN.So that's been identified.

FINALLY, what you may have waited for..as many cues as I know used in the original series..
Versions of the series that is..
Here is as of June 18,2013, a major update
Here's as much as I know..fr simplicity's sake, if it turns OUT to be simply [ha ha ha], just the title and composer, no episode titles..
Those credited to CADKIN & BLUESTONE, PHILIP GREEN, HARRY LUBIN, JACK SHAINDLIN, JACK COOKERLY, WILLIAM G.LOOSE, and in some cases ROGER ROGER have had their titles changed today [and they are the titles listed below], these being in current circulaiton, and also it's happened in the past. JACK SHAINDLIN notwithstanding [he's represented through CINEMUSIC, which he ran after ending the previous LANGLOIS FILMMUSIC--see this site, the other that I mentioned are currently offered through Carlin. Others, retaining perhaps the original titles, are BRUTON, KPM, CHAPPELL, and possibly OGM music which has rights to the mysterious [both in the sound of some of his work and in his history] novelty bassoonist SPENCER MOORE, whose work also covered other styles, too.
Here's the list that I know of [and there's pretty more that I can't identify where that came from, besides I don't know how many of the themes had different titles as far as going through all the later concerns offering theme.]
PHILIP GREEN cues not yet sold by CARLIN have the original EMI titles followed by the CAPITOL counterparts.I present all of this as a public service.:)
Not just the Gumby cues, which ARE I'D with an asterisk * but also those used most familiarly (as KNOWN, still others unknown that you will no doubt recongise.)

THE GREEN GUY, and then the OTHER GREEN GUY
Among the many stock composers whose tunes you'll find in Gumby was one Phillip Green, whose music was written for many UK mood libaries beginning in 1930s on. Born 1911, UK, died 1982, his cues would be among those often asked about in the references to the Capitol cues topics on the net even without a composer name attached. His music was done for a lot of companies, until EMI Photoplay became his permament home. While being largely the exclsuive composer, he wound up at least the lead with Jack Cookerly [1926-??] and Bill Loose [1910-1991], as well as Emil Cakdin [??] and a few others. His cues would be, and this is due to a request from fellow blogger Yowp, at the most memorable:[CARLIN library has reissued many on CAR 404: CLASSIC CARTOON FUN.Enjoy....]
The site here has some and the untitled ones [listed as I can rememebr them for that site]
A light, pleasant cue from Q/2called "Dressed to Kill" but retitled as "Original EM-CT-1" on disc 47/48 on Capitol Hi-Q. Quick Draw, Snooper and Blabber, Gumby ["Pigeon in a Plum Tree"], and Tweety ["Bird in a Bonnett"] fans will recognize this one. "Comedy Walker", retitled "Chirpie Chappie" [The Carlin library, like the original that this came from, is a British one, regarding the slang term "chappie"].
The famous circus cue "Custard pie Capers" renamed "EM-CT-2 Comedy Circus" now known as "Circus Chase". Used in Snoop and Blab, Fractured Fairytales, Quick Draw, and the first MCDonald's ad. And Foghorn Leghorn, "Weasel while you work".
A marching cue used in the Gumby short "The Zoops" [that trippy odd critter short with the potion and such, "PCCampbell10" uploaded it to YouTube] as I thought two times [Gumby and me, Pokey, arrivin' to the zoo then the zookepper locking up the creatures] till I found out it was used AGAIN, a different part, [the zookeeper in this and a few other Gumby and Pokey series titles informing that he's "onto Gumby", who has spent the time reaping the rewards of selling weird animals from poticn"--that I recognized as part of the bed only after visiting the site for these],
Richochet Pete","Even Stevens","Witty Witch".Title unknown,btw.It's at here, track 23
Speaking of the Zoops, the open and close, also in "One Got Fat", the oddball film with the late actor Edward Everett Horton [1886-1970 of Fractured Farity Tales, and Ginger Rogers and Fred Asatire movies and raido prioir to that] narrating, after the credits in the open.at track 29.
The laid back cue in My Three Sons, and also in its own right one of the top recognizable stock cues, used in Quick Draw/Snooper [esp. there]/Augie, and Weasel white you work with Foghorn Leghorn in the opening title, many commercials and intermission reels as archived on YouTube, and even John Kricfalusi's "Boo Boo and the Man", titled "Popcorn", retitled "EM-1" Comedy Walker, now known as Off we Go in the CAR 404 CLASSIC CARTOON FUN CARLIN cd.
The eerie clip clip "Skeleton in the Cupboard" Western sounding cue from Quick Draw [for instance], GR-87, retitled in the Capitol library as 5-PG-206 "Grotesque Comedy", now "Late Night Jinx" in Carlin.Used in Pigeon in a Plum Tree where Gumby episodes are concerned..Track 18 in here
That cue that sounds like braying jackasses [in the Gumby world, it's my-Pokey's-heroic lupine bitin' theme-to save goofy Frank Fontaine sounding Prince Harold-"Pigeon in a Plum Tree"0---and it's in all of the three Quick Draw segments, and in the Wile E. cartoon "Hook, Line and Stinker" scored by John Seely of Capitol Special Products when the coyote puts birdseed on the railroad tracks-in a different version-see below for the preceding]. Called "By Jiminy it's Jumbo", then "4-PG-20? Heavy Comedy Movement", now "Harry the Hippo", respectively in the EMI, Capitol and Calrin libraries. Personally, I don't care what anybopdy says, had I run a production library or uploaddit I'd call it "Braying Burrito" or something..
A light, British style army military march used as [Clokey's Gumby] "Groobee" [no title known] theme, also in "Foxy Box", a Gumby 60s short that is that double whammy of a lkagte 60s TV rarity--a solo film and pantomime short. You just don't get that by the 60s unless you're at the movies watching Mr.Pink Panther.Track 30.
A cue that Bryan Lord/Totalrod 2 here mixed with others in SPENDING SPREE, and titled out of lack of knowldedge as to title as "Curious Kittens", but was called "Bush Baby" [No, NOT an anti-"W" tune this was a 1950s British instrumental novelty!], then "8-PG-149 Comedy Movement", now "Animal Magic". Ahh..love the last, and the other Calrin titles [the apla-numerical code's Capitol's old ones, and the first was EMI UK]
.Used in "Too Loo" with Gumby, and LOTS of times in "Augie Doggie" HB shorts.
More to come..
The site here has some and the untitled ones [listed as I can rememebr them for that site]
A light, pleasant cue from Q/2called "Dressed to Kill" but retitled as "Original EM-CT-1" on disc 47/48 on Capitol Hi-Q. Quick Draw, Snooper and Blabber, Gumby ["Pigeon in a Plum Tree"], and Tweety ["Bird in a Bonnett"] fans will recognize this one. "Comedy Walker", retitled "Chirpie Chappie" [The Carlin library, like the original that this came from, is a British one, regarding the slang term "chappie"].

A COUPLE of Things-The stock Cues and Dal McKennon
If you want to know about the canned music on this as used in Hanna-Barbera, anothjer fellow's site this is a good resource.
The Pokester.
And as of August 2009, Dal McKennon, the voices of the characters in many short,s passed away. He was in shorts from everything from later Lantz shorts to the relaly awful Filmation Archie shows, which had his short lived Gumby unsped voice. Also in many Disneyland attractions and even in at least on one of Looney Tunes, a Speedy Gonzales called "Torilla Flaps".
Heard in many Disney records, and in Sam Singer cartoons ["Sinbad Jr.", though uncredited,] and in a small company, A&A's "Q.T.Hush".
I've also wondered if some of the cues in GUMBY aren't also from General Music, and even Winston Sharples (w/Hal Seeger: I've bee n rewatching the Trans-Lux/Joe Oriolo FELIX THE CAT and Seeger MILTON THE MONSTERS..)
That sad cue that starts MOCKING MONEY-HOW NTO TO TRAP LIONS sure sounds liuke a Seeger-Sharples-Famous cue...!
