Henry Mancini, "Trail of the Pink Panther" (OST), Intrada (Special Collection Series) #163 (2011).[Limited Edition CD]

Movie originally premiered in 1982.

From the Intrada website: At last! World premiere release of complete Henry Mancini soundtrack for seventh Pink Panther film (and last with Peter Sellers via outtakes), directed by Blake Edwards. Film builds plot around reporter doing story on Inspector Clouseau, incorporates cameos by many actors from earlier movies with previously unseen bits by Sellers. Henry Mancini writes full score for movie with brand new update of iconic main theme plus several all new melodies, action cues, funny ideas. Fights with Burt Kwouk, beautiful theme for Paris, rich baritone horn tune for Bruno are wonderful highlights. Interestingly, when film appears in 1982, Liberty label issues just two specially recorded tracks from film on soundtrack album which otherwise is mere compilation of previously available material - literally a "Pink Panther's Greatest Hits" album rather than actual TRAIL OF THE PINK PANTHER soundtrack. Now, Intrada addresses missed opportunity by gaining access to actual 2" 24-track soundtrack scoring session masters stored in mint condition in MGM vaults. This allows us to create brand new stereo mixes of every cue, producing first ever true soundtrack. Mancini at his melodious best! Notes by Dan Schweiger plus wonderful classic sixties-style artwork highlighting elegant booklet design by Joe Sikoryak are compliments to tuneful package. Henry Mancini conducts. Intrada Special Collection release limited to 1200 copies!

Henry Mancini, "The Moneychangers", Intrada (Special Collection Series) #172 (2011).[Limited Edition 2-CD Set]

TV Special / Series premiered in 1976.

From the Intrada website: World premiere 2-CD release of complete Henry Mancini score for mammoth 1976 TV filming of Arthur Hailey's novel, directed by Boris Sagal, starring Kirk Douglas, Christopher Plummer, Timothy Bottoms, Joan Collins, many others. Mancini launches with rhythmic figure in deliberate tempo for horns, trombones, percussion, then quickly brings in string theme to set score into motion. Woodwinds, piccolo trumpet, agitated violins highlight secondary idea, then composer brings in variants of main theme. Rhythms return and Mancini finally wraps with dramatic, fortissimo coda - all in a single "Main Title". Wow! Film has four parts, Intrada CDs present parts 1 & 2 on first disc, 3 & 4 on second disc. Over two hours of music! Mancini offers incredible array of material, from memorable main theme, haunting love theme to signature combo pieces, rousing action. A sensational work from a genuine master of the craft! Though CBS made license available, release only became possible when bass trombonist for original sessions located 1/4" full-track (mono) safeties of complete score, recorded over several days. Terrific outcome for a magnificent score nearly lost forever! Mancini did re-record the theme on his wonderful "Mancini's Angels" LP at time, but this is first release of actual soundtrack. Special treat for Mancini fans: all those players from his classic albums sitting in on sessions, including Ted Nash, Vincent DeRosa, Graham Young, Dick Nash, Bob Bain, Terry Woodson, Shelly Manne, many others. Splendid performances assured! Henry Mancini conducts. Intrada Special Collection release limited to 1500 copies!
