4.0 out of 5 stars Same As It Ever Was, May 21, 2006

By	John P Bernat (Kingsport, TN USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This album was released on vinyl when I was a freshman in high school - 1965!

The same cuts and, presumably, the same recordings. I wore the spots off this record over forty years ago, and here it is.

Mancini first came to fame with his recording of the "Theme from Peter Gunn." Conrary to what's said here by another reviewer, both Peter Gunn and Mr. Lucky were TV shows - neither one was a movie soundtrack.

"Lujon" did come from "Mr. Lucky," but not a movie. Believe it or not, this and some of the other cool jazz on this disk were from 1950s-era television shows. "Fallout" is the stock opening sequence music from "Peter Gunn," for instance. It played at the beginning of every half-hour show.

TV was where he started, but movies are where he ended. Mancini wrote many famous movie scores after the release of this 1965 collection - check out other sources for that.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's hip to be square --, July 13, 2002

By	Greg Goodsell "Kitsch Man" (Bakersfield, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Henry Mancini is music your mama or grandma would find appealling. If you had to by a compact disc for somebody who doesn't like music, this would be the disc to get. But seriously, Mancini's lush arrangements can be enjoyed by all generations without irony.
