(The LPs were also released individually.) Perhaps some of the 50 tracks here aren't available elsewhere. Well, I located a 3-CD set that Readers' Digest Music issued in Canada in 2009, which coincidentally has 50 tracks on it. It's titled "Master Of Melody: The Very Best Of Henry Mancini," and a cursory review indicates that this is indeed the contents of that 1982 LP set.    Posted:   Jul 21, 2019 - 2:51 AM     By:   MusicMad   (Member) ... I seriously doubt that the 24 recordings on the B.F. Goodrich releases were re-recorded just two years later. No doubt RCA's deal with the tire company was that they would have the exclusive rights to distribute the individual LPs to their customers for two years and that the re-issue rights would revert to RCA for a commercial release thereafter. Packaging those LPs together with some extra tracks made the product seem new even to those who may have gotten one of the earlier LPs at the tire store. Agreed, this appears the more logical (and less expensive!) option ... and I wonder whether the original idea had been to record all 31 Oscar winners - 1934 - 64 incl. - with those 2 12-track licenced releases being taken from the recordings, or the additional seven songs were recorded when someone realised that a comprehensive collection of these 31 winning songs could be produced. I've tried to assess whether the recordings of the two Mancini winners are the same as those previously released: on the OST of Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) and his album Our Man in Hollywood (1963) ... I think they are (again: why go to the cost of re-recordings?)    Posted:   Jul 21, 2019 - 3:08 AM     By:   Stefan Huber   (Member) Many thanks for the interest and the many replies. Fortunately, most of the titles mentioned have been re-issued on CD. The Sousa/March albums have been re-issued by Collectors' Choice: https://www.amazon.com/Marches-Sousa-Hi-Fi-Henry-Mancini/dp/B001EWOIBU The Academy Awards album has indeed been re-issued by RCA in Spain. Sound quality isn't too good, but selections from this collection appear on many other compilations. "Driftwood and Dreams"/"The Versatile Mancini": the best option currently out there is the el/Cherry Red CD combining the mono and stereo version of the album. The authorized download from UMG uses the same master as the Cherry Red CD. I have thus no idea whether the Cherry Red CD has been properly licensed or if UMG wanted to go the cheap way and used the public domain CD for their download. The Polydor album is indeed missing on CD. "Just You And Me..." has been re-issued by Dutton Vocalion: https://www.amazon.com/Ost-Visions-Mancini-Orchestra-2013-11-29/dp/B01K8L1CPM There is also a 50-track Readers Digest collection - which is available quit cheap: https://www.amazon.com/Henry-Mancini-Plays-All-Time-Favorites/dp/B000EEG9O8 I think this covers all the material he recorded for RD.    Posted:   Jul 21, 2019 - 3:49 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) There is also a 50-track Readers Digest collection - which is available quit cheap: https://www.amazon.com/Henry-Mancini-Plays-All-Time-Favorites/dp/B000EEG9O8 I think this covers all the material he recorded for RD. I'm not sure that the specific CD referenced above is the 50-track set. Amazon lists it as being one CD, and one of the reviews says it has 10 tracks. This Canadian release has all 50 tracks: https://www.discogs.com/Henry-Mancini-Master-Of-Melody-The-Very-Best-Of-Henry-Mancini/release/10625161    Posted:   Jul 21, 2019 - 4:21 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) [I wonder whether the original idea had been to record all 31 Oscar winners - 1934 - 64 incl. - with those 2 12-track licenced releases being taken from the recordings, or the additional seven songs were recorded when someone realised that a comprehensive collection of these 31 winning songs could be produced. It's hard to see how they could do all of the songs in one session. At least 12 of them had to be done for that first 1964 B.F. Goodrich release. The latest song on the double album (31) release is "Chim Chim Cher-ee" from 1964. But that wasn't known to be the Oscar winner until April 5, 1965, so it couldn't have been recorded with the batch of songs that appeared on that 1964 LP. "Chim Chim Cher-ee" didn't appear on either B.F. Goodrich LP, but "Call Me Irresponsible," the 1963 winner (awarded on April 13, 1964), appeared on the 1965 B.F. Goodrich release. Depending upon when in the year those individual LPs were released, I can see at least two recording sessions taking place.    Posted:   Jul 21, 2019 - 5:23 AM     By:   MusicMad   (Member) [I wonder whether the original idea had been to record all 31 Oscar winners - 1934 - 64 incl. - with those 2 12-track licenced releases being taken from the recordings, or the additional seven songs were recorded when someone realised that a comprehensive collection of these 31 winning songs could be produced.

I wasn't sure whether 1964 AA meant awarded that year or the following year (which is what you state). i know I could have researched this first ... but didn't Thanks again.    Posted:   Jul 21, 2019 - 1:47 PM     By:   mistermike   (Member) This WWW site is useful for Mancini discographic information: www.bjbear71.com/Hank/collection.html Henry Mancini Live in Japan (a CD-4 quadraphonic LP) has never been reissued on CD. I think the master tapes for this are lost or there are some kind of rights issues. I was hoping that Dutton could do this, because they have put out several Mancini 4-channel RCA recordings as SACDs. I bought this on cassette in Japan when I was there in 1972: www.mjq.net/Mancini/hm-japan.jpg This concert contains the track Mr. Uniyoshi (also found on the soundtrack album (the re-recorded one)) which is not heard in the film. This is music for the character portrayed by Mickey Rooney.    Posted:   Jul 22, 2019 - 4:30 PM     By:   roy phillippe   (Member) Released in 1958. Reissued in 1962 as: "Mancini Marches" and "Sousa In Hi-Fi" were released in CD in 2008 by Collectors Choice.    Posted:   Jul 23, 2019 - 1:39 PM     By:   roy phillippe   (Member) None of his Liberty albums were never reissued on C.D.. "The Versatale Henry Mancini" was released on CD on the Omega label made in Brazil. It has also been released with both mono and stereo tracks on the UK label El/Cherry Red Records in 2008. It includes some bonus tracks from other sources.     General Discussion: Mancini LPs not on CD    << < 1 2  >   Go to page:  1 2   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
