This is a great album. It's really inexplicable that this didn't get a concurrent LP release, given that it was a high-profile film by a popular composer, and featuring an instant standard. Even if it contained nothing but source music, you'd think a tie-in would have been inevitable.
I am working on a fictional LP lineup, much as I did with "Charade," that takes into account Mancini's preference for using source tunes while adding a few of the choice representative dramatic cues.

My fictional LP would include the Blossom Dearie vocal as the final track and replace the Mancini choir version with the Andy Williams vocal.
This holds the distinction of being the only feature film that Mancini scored of which only the main title song was recorded (Intrada remedied this with the World Premiere Release of the C.D.).

Only the main title was recorded? Do you mean released? I assume the whole soundtrack was recorded.

I was referring since Mancini had a tendency to rerecord some of his film scores on L.P., only the "Days Of Wine And Roses" main title was rerecorded.
