Following his success with The Adventures in Paradise series, 20th Century Fox musical director Lionel Newman supplied the music for Exciting Hong Kong. Both series were on ABC-TV and featured top music. Hong Kong features these additional arrangers: Billy May, whose "Honorable Hong Kong Rock" is covered; Earle Hagen, whose I Spy is well known; Frank Comstock, famous for a landmark space album; Marty Paich; Herb Spencer; and Warren Baker. Since it is spelled "Baker" twice, it can be assumed that it is not Warren Barker, the musical director and exotica arranger for Warner.
