Soundtrack buffs are in for a treat because AP is reissuing a number of Henry Mancini discs, and this gem from 1959 stands proud as much for being a stunning big band/jazz album as it does a score for a TV show. The first Grammy recipient for Album of the Year, it's an evocative, moody set that perfectly suited the noir atmosphere of the hugely successful detective series that ran from 1958 to 1961. I'm old enough to recall the soundtrack — it signalled my bedtime — and it still sends chills, images of rainy nights, trench coats and other private eye tropes. The orchestra included Victor Feldman, Paul Horn, soundtrack-wizard-to-be John Williams, Shelley Manne and other studio maestri. Fabulous!" — Sound Quality = 94% Ken Kessler, Hi-Fi News,

In case you want to know how these recordings sound, the two soundtrack recordings have a beautiful, deep and rich tonal quality. The other two have a lighter, fresher quality to the sound. While all four albums are incredibly fun to listen to, the 45rpm reissue from Analogue Productions is simply faultless. I sure hope there are plans in the future to give us the “More” album also in 45, since it is my favorite, but I love them all. Yes, these are a little off the beaten track; but if you like good music, they are well worth having. I can’t imagine you won’t find them fun regardless of what kind of music you listen to most often. Dagogo Review

Now on 45 RPM LP, mastered at Sterling Sound by Ryan Smith from the analog tapes

Plated and pressed by Quality Record Pressings - Deluxe "tip-on" gatefold jackets by Stoughton Printing

Composer Henry Mancini was more than fluent in jazz, and his music nailed down the popularity of the series. With the main title theme, a driving, ominous, exciting piece of music to lead off the album, The Music From Peter Gunn became a huge hit, charting extraordinarily high for a television soundtrack and doing so well that RCA Victor came back the next year asking for a second helping (More Music From Peter Gunn) from Mancini.

The music holds up: "Session At Pete's Pad" is a superb workout for trumpets of Pete Candoli, Uan Rasey, Conrad Gozzo and Frank Beach, while Barney Kessel's electric guitar gets the spotlight during "Dreamsville." "Sorta Blue" and "Fallout" are full-ensemble pieces that constitute quintessential "cool" West Coast jazz of the period.

Now The Music From Peter Gunn is back bigger and better than ever!

We've gone the deluxe Analogue Productions route — remastered from the original analog tape by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound, cut at 45 RPM, plated and pressed at Quality Record Pressings. Then packaged in deluxe tip-on gatefold jackets from Stoughton Printing.

A great title, a brilliant reissue. Exceptional!

This was televison's first big hit music track. The title theme from this series produced by Blake Edwards is one of the finest things Henry Mancini ever wrote. Here is driving, popular jazz, with a beat and style.

"The Music From Peter Gunn" - Henry Mancini (arr, cond); Ted Nash, Ronnie Lang (as); Dick Nash, Milt Bernhart (tb); Pete Candoli (tp); Johnny T. Williams (p); Larry Bunker (vib); Rolly Bundock (b); Jack Sperling (dr)

This is not only a great LP but a key piece of jazz and pop music history. Back in 1958, "Peter Gunn" was one of the unexpected hits of the new television season, capturing the imagination of millions of viewers by mixing private eye action with a jazz setting. Composer Henry Mancini was more than fluent in jazz, and his music nailed down the popularity of the series. With the main title theme, a driving, ominous, exciting piece of music to lead off the album, "The Music from Peter Gunn" became a huge hit, charting extraordinarily high for a television soundtrack and doing so well that RCA Victor came back the next year asking for a second helping ("More Music From Peter Gunn") from Mancini.

The music holds up: "Session At Pete’s Pad" is a superb workout for the trumpets of Pete Candoli, Uan Rasey, Conrad Gozzo, and Frank Beach, while Barney Kessel’s electric guitar gets the spotlight during "Dreamsville"; and "Sorta Blue" and "Fallout" are full-ensemble pieces that constitute quintessential 'cool' West Coast jazz of the period. In other words, it’s all virtuoso orchestral jazz, presented in its optimum form.
