The Wikipedia page for Peter Gunn used to have a long table in the Music section which used info from my "anal-ysis" of the show. It was there for a long time. In October of 2022, someone removed this, saying "gigantic soundtrack listing is trivial." (I was not the person who created this table in the Wikipedia entry.) Thanks to the Internet Archive, where the old version of the page was still to be found, I was able to reconstruct this table as below. The table looks best when viewed on a desktop computer; a cell phone may cause issues.
