Incidentally, if anyone can shed light (no pun intended) on this 1994 release of the Laserlight label: Henry Mancini ?– Peter Gunn - see: https://www.discogs.com/Henry-Mancini-Peter-Gunn/master/1195063 I'd be grateful. The interpretations are pretty good (not all from the named TV series) but clearly not original. This is "A Percussion Salute To Mancini" put together by Frankie Capp.

The Pink Guitar mention reminded me that I have a different guitar Mancini album--by Royce Campbell. It's called A Tribute To Henry Mancini. Haven't played it in years. I just looked on Campbell's website--he's also got a solo guitar Mancini album plus many more. He played with Mancini for 20 years, his site says.

Years ago, I picked up the Ted Nash "Peter Gunn" album on the notorious Crown label. I paid a dollar, and it sat in the to-be-cleaned stack for more than a decade. Well, I just gave it a scrub on the Nitty Gritty, and it is really great. It follows the sequence of the original LP, but deletes two tracks. The arrangements are very, very close to Mancini's. If you were a housewife in line at the supermarket, and you came across this LP for $1.49, you would not have been disappointed. Plus, it doesn't suffer from all that reverb that was slathered onto RCA's stereo mix of Mancini's LP. I think that many of Mancini's players are here.
