Link: http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/henry-mancini-the-classic-soundtrack-collection/?utm_campaign=Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_source=email-359    Posted:   Apr 3, 2015 - 11:31 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Here's a review of the new set---including some negative comments about the audio quality of some of the cds. Link: http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/henry-mancini-the-classic-soundtrack-collection/?utm_campaign=Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_source=email-359 Here's the relevant paragraph on the sound quality: "Sadly, Mancini’s scores have been shockingly underrepresented on CD. Most of the big hits were briefly available on excellent sounding Spanish RCA CDs. Charade and Breakfast at Tiffany’s were released on JVC XRCDs. The Pink Panther and Breakfast at Tiffany’s are available on Speakers Corner LPs that must be heard to be believed. The Pink Panther is also still available on an RCA (Buddha) CD. The complete dramatic soundtrack for Breakfast at Tiffany’s, including Audrey Hepburn singing “Moon River” in mono, has been released by Intrada. This recording presents a completely different perspective of the music as it demonstrates Mancini’s ability to write dramatic underscore. All of those CDs and LPs, if you can find them, are sonically preferable to The Classic Soundtrack Collection by a considerable margin. However, this collection is valuable because it is the only available collection of the majority of Mancini’s important scores, most of which are difficult or impossible to find on CD now, so it will be desirable for Mancini’s many fans despite the disappointing sound."    Posted:   Jan 28, 2019 - 11:38 AM     By:   JBlough   (Member) Having gotten through all but one of the scores on this set after acquiring it last year, I'm curious about one element that isn't clear from the set's notes...which of these albums were re-recordings for LP and which were the actual film tracks. I know at least Breakfast at Tiffany's, Charade, and Hatari! are album re-recordings. Fairly certain that The Great Race, Two For the Road, and The Pink Panther are as well. Anyone able to confirm the others? - High Time - Who Is Killing The Great Chefs of Europe? - Arabesque - Oklahoma Crude - The Return of the Pink Panther - What Did You Do In The War, Daddy? - Experiment In Terror - Darling Lili - The Party - Visions of Eight - Me, Natalie    Posted:   Jan 28, 2019 - 12:15 PM     By:   roy phillippe   (Member) Having gotten through all but one of the scores on this set after acquiring it last year, I'm curious about one element that isn't clear from the set's notes...which of these albums were re-recordings for LP and which were the actual film tracks.

I think all of them are re-recordings except "Chefs", "Me, Natalie"and "Oklahoma Crude". Not sure about "Return of the PP". The RCA re-recording album covers said "music from the film score".    Posted:   Jan 28, 2019 - 12:24 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Having gotten through all but one of the scores on this set after acquiring it last year, I'm curious about one element that isn't clear from the set's notes...which of these albums were re-recordings for LP and which were the actual film tracks.

No, Andrews' vocals are re-recordings done for the album. She's so eerily consistent, though, it's hard to tell. Interesting that if you look at the dates, the Andrews "Nothing to Lose" bonus track on THE PARTY CD was recorded during the DARLING LILI album sessions.    Posted:   Jan 28, 2019 - 8:59 PM     By:   'Lenny Bruce' Marshall   (Member) According to Amazon's listing, "More Music from Peter Gunn" is missing. ... The track "Peter Gunn" is from the movie "Gunn" not the original album. It features Plas Johnson on electric sax. I believe it was a Selmer Veritone. Right. I have the cd up on the TRADING POST BRM    Posted:   Dec 9, 2024 - 9:56 AM     By:   Yavar Moradi   (Member) This soundtrack album (slated for expansion later this year for the movie’s 50th anniversary) So is this another case of an album being in the works for 10+ years? (To the point where a 50th anniversary edition became a 60th anniversary edition?)

But I think what they meant by the expansion was to only include the bonus track of Fran Jeffries singing It had Better be tonight.    Posted:   Dec 9, 2024 - 12:39 PM     By:   Stefan Huber   (Member) This soundtrack album (slated for expansion later this year for the movie’s 50th anniversary) So is this another case of an album being in the works for 10+ years?

Only insiders will know, but I think the statement - as it is written above - means an individual (expanded) release of "The Pink Panther."     General Discussion: 11cd Henry Mancini box + Expanded Pink Panther    << < 4 5 6  >   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6
