  1. Thanks for this; never knew it existed. Williams' own album of Checkmate is worth tracking down. Really superb arrangements.
  2. Have not heard this soundtrack album but I'm happy with this Shelly Manne Contemporary: (with Conte Candoli, Richie Kamuca, Russ Freeman and Chuck Berghofer) Can't read the title. Is it Shelly's take on the "Checkmate" music? I have some of his "Peter Gunn" albums.
  3. Forget Star Wars. This is the stuff you need to hear, right up there with "Peter Gunn" and the other memorable private eye jazz. Original 6-eye mono copy.
  4. I'm right there witcha! I'm happy to have found the ones that I have...
  5. Stravinsky, again, "Le Sacre du Printemps," this time by Antal Dorati & Minneapolis Symphony, Mercury Living Presence mono. Great cover art, too!
  6. Too bad. "Playboy", as we all know, was a very jazz-friendly publication back then.
  7. Agreed. The first album is significantly better in mono. Having the mono mix is less important for "Horizontal" or "Idea," and I like 60s pop/rock better in mono 99% of the time. Still, I love the longer fade on the mono version of "World," even though it falls apart at the end!
  8. a rechanneled stereo copy, but as with JB above, ya gotta be thankful when you find rekkids like this. And what a cover!
  9. stereo copy, unfortunately, but with JB vinyl you gotta be grateful for whatever you can find!
  10. Another, from Lancaster's character: "Sidney, conjugate me a verb; for instance--to promise. You promised to break up that romance."
  11. On a related note, Fred Katz's score for the original 1960 "Little Shop of Horrors" deserves to be reissued on CD. It came out on a Rhino LP in the 80s, and is well worth tracking down. This score seems to be a well-kept secret. It features that nervous, angular, dissonant, geometric jazz sound you hear in 1950s and 60s European soundtracks.
  12. Oscar Brown, Jr. - Tells it Like it Is - Columbia, mono
  13. Yes, Chewy, Chico scored that one.
  14. "The cover painting is by Wesley Duke Lee, a well-known contemporary Brazilian painter, who dedicated this painting to Segio Mendes." - from the liner notes. This record has great versions of Reza, Arrastao, and Mendes's own "Noa Noa."
  15. Forgot about CH's involvement in that one! I think of that more as an Elmer Bernstein score for whatever reason. Do you have that record? Was there a SSoS Chico Hamilton album and an Elmer Bernstein soundtrack?
  16. Does anyone have any details on this upcoming release? I'm hoping it has some music from Polanski's "Repulsion." Dusty Groove says it will be out in Feb. I can't find any track listings online.
  17. Is the Bossa LP one of them? I forgot about that one, and I love it.
  18. Stravinsky, Le Sacre du Printemps, Pierre Monteux & Paris Conservatoire, RCA Red Seal, mono.
  19. Just to clarify: Leith Stevens composed the music for "The Wild One," and Shorty was in the band that played on the score. The Leith Stevens album is a re-record of music used in the film, and I believe it's arranged differently. The Shorty Rogers EP consists of Shorty's arrangements and recordings of Leith Stevens' music. There is a CD out - I think on Bear Family - that includes both the Leith Stevens album AND the Shorty Rogers EP. I don't think the actual music heard in the film ever made it to LP or CD.
  20. Mono playback of mono records reduces surface noise and groove distortion, especially toward the inner groove. I have a mono switch on my amplifier. Before that, I used the Y converter and it was a pain, but worth it. If you have an independent EQ unit, there should be a way to wire it so you get mono when you throw one of the switches.
