There are 3 scores from films Mancini scored at WB that have never been released.
"Days Of Wine And Roses"
"Dear Heart"
"Soldier In The Rain"
They were relatively short scores.
"Soldier In The Rain" has a bluesy number titled "Bird Brain" that was recorded by Quincy Jones on his Mancini album. It was also recorded by Jackie Gleason on a single. I think those were the only recordings. Does anyone know of any others?

"Soldier In The Rain" was an Allied Artists film, not a Warner Bros. film, even though it was acquired by Lorimar, which in turn was acquired by Time Warner. The main title was recorded by Mancini and can be found on the "Days Of Wine And Roses" 4 C.D. Box set.

There's also S.O.B., but there isn't much score in that film.

It originally appeared on the "Dear Heart And Other Songs About Love" LP.

That would be my first choice. One of FSM's last four?
