This Christmas didn't exactly win me over but this one on the other hand immediately did! Right back into a classic enchanting sound, lots of things going on, liking it a lot! Even made me try the song album but I noped out pretty quickly when I heard Grande and skipped through the rest.

In their place I'd have put it at the end of the last track as a "hidden track". They've done that before with some things.

It sold out only last year, you had plenty of time to get it. Some reseller sites might still have it in stock.

I think it was thought to be lost, only the rerecorded rearranged refocused pop OST remaining? But now they found the original mono master (sounding good for what it is) and this is the first time the actual score has ever been released.

It's in one or two other samples too so it's not just the main titles.

Wow, loving the samples of this!

Quartet Records, in association with Paramount Pictures, Sony Music, the Henry Mancini Estate and the Johnny Mercer Estate, presents a remastered and extensively expanded deluxe edition of Blake Edwards’ 1970 big-budget musical-war-romantic comedy DARLING LILI, starring Julie Andrews and Rock Hudson. DARLING LILI is not a conventional musical in which characters burst into song as a narrative substitute for speech or interior monologue. Rather, director Blake Edwards has taken pains to describe it as “a romantic comedy with music.” Inspired by the life of Mata Hari, the film tells the story of supposedly British singer Lili Smith (Julie Andrews), who triumphs in France during World War I. In reality, she’s a German citizen named Lili Schmidt, working for German military espionage. The film was a resounding failure at the box office and led to a several-year hiatus in the relationship between Blake Edwards and Henry Mancini, due to some disagreements and misunderstandings during postproduction. But it was also the movie where Edwards met Julie Andrews, who became his wife for the rest of his life. It was also the first collaboration between Julie Andrews and Henry Mancini, two musical souls destined to meet. Henry Mancini and his favorite lyricist, Johnny Mercer, wrote a number of wonderful songs for the picture, including “Whistle Away the Dark,” one of their most beautiful creations, which was nominated for an Academy Award for Original Song in 1970. Mancini also wrote a powerful symphonic and dramatic score that has never been heard outside of the movie. The score and songs were also nominated in the Best Music Original Songs Score category. This edition has been painstakingly produced, restored and mastered by Chris Malone, working from the first-generation album master and mono and stereo elements provided by Paramount Pictures. It includes the historic RCA album with the original songs beautifully performed by Julie Andrews, Mancini’s complete underscore for the film, plus some curious extras such as the demos played by Johnny Mercer before filming that include two unreleased Mancini-Mercer songs that were not included in the film. Instrumental versions of the songs round out the program. A treat for fans of Julie Andrews, Henry Mancini and the Mancini-Mercer songs. The lavishly designed package includes a 24-page booklet with extensive liner notes by film music writer John Takis. DISC 1. The RCA Album recording 1. Overture 4:06 2.

Quartet Records, in collaboration with Paramount Pictures, presents a remastered, remixed and expanded edition of one of Henry Mancini’s most evocative and powerful dramatic scores: THE MOLLY MAGUIRES. Directed by Martin Ritt in 1970, starring Sean Connery, Richard Harris, Samantha Eggar and Frank Finlay. Written by Walter Bernstein, the movie is set in Pennsylvania coal country in 1876 and is loosely based on the true story of a small band of Irish miners/terrorists called the Molly Maguires. Henry Mancini was hired to compose the film score after the previous one by Charles Strouse (BONNIE AND CLYDE), famous composer of stage musicals and some film scores, was rejected. Mancini wrote a sensitive, dramatic, delicate score with an Irish flavor that was always close to his heart; he considered it one of his favorites. Originally released on vinyl at the time of its premiere, the album has been reissued on CD several times, most recently in 2012 by Kritzerland in a limited edition that included Mancini’s score and the premiere of the rejected Strouse. For this centenary celebration of Henry Mancini, Chris Malone remixed the score, eliminating the unpleasant hiss in previous editions using new technology. We were also fortunate that new elements appeared in the Paramount vaults, and the score has been released in a more complete form, with more than 20 minutes of previously unreleased cues, and revised and alternate versions. Finally, Mr. Strouse’s unused score has been newly remixed and included in this set. The 24-page package includes in-depth new liner notes by film music writer Jeff Bond. 1.

Quartet Records, in collaboration with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Sony Music and the Henry Mancini Estate, present the premiere release of the original film tracks of Henry Mancini’s Academy Award-nominated, iconic score for the no-less-iconic Blake Edwards film THE PINK PANTHER (1964), celebrating its 60th anniversary. A cornerstone of sophisticated heist comedy and romance, and a classic that began a saga about the clumsiest policeman in history: Inspector Clouseau, brilliantly played by Peter Sellers, who would reprise the role for four more films before his passing. In addition to Sellers, THE PINK PANTHER stars David Niven, Capucine, Robert Wagner and Claudia Cardinale. The film was shot on luxurious locations in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, with some sequences shot in Rome, Paris and Los Angeles. Henry Mancini had previously composed several acclaimed scores for Blake Edwards, including BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S, DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES and the TV series PETER GUNN. The theme he created for the animated main titles of THE PINK PANTHER immediately became a classic—one of the most famous pieces in the history of cinema and popular music culture. Mancini went on to write a fantastic catalog of melodies—all refined with his redoubtable good taste—and an exciting underscore that has remained unreleased for sixty years. Together with Johnny Mercer, he wrote another of his great songs, “It Had Better Be Tonight (Meglio Stasera),” which appears on this CD in its original version, performed by Fran Jeffries. This double CD presents in the first disc the actual film score from the original master recordings with the original session at the Samuel Goldwyn Studios in 1963, preserved in mint condition and originally recorded in mono. It also includes some alternate versions and unused music. The second disc contains the remastered album Mancini recorded for RCA with new arrangements of the more commercial tracks. Carefully produced, restored and mastered by Chris Malone, the package includes a 24-page booklet with extensive liner notes by film music writer Jeff Bond. DISC ONE. The Original Film Score 1.

Quartet reissues a mixed up version of this program on LP: Quartet Records, in collaboration with Paramount Pictures, presents the premiere vinyl edition of the actual film tracks composed and conducted by Henry Mancini for BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S, the landmark, bittersweet romantic comedy directed by Blake Edwards in 1961 and starring Audrey Hepburn, George Peppard, Patricia Neal, Martin Balsam, José Luis de Vilallonga and Mickey Rooney. What more can you say about BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S that hasn’t already been said? It is one of the most iconic films in the history of cinema, and that’s just from the first five minutes of the movie: Audrey Hepburn, Hubert de Givenchy’s Little Black Dress, Tiffany’s jewelry, and the longing strains of “Moon River.” Iconic images and iconic music. The music is perhaps Henry Mancini’s most famous score, awarded two Academy Awards (for Best Original Score and Best Original Song [“Moon River”]. It is the quintessence of his style, as well as the music and lifestyle of the sixties. The movie, its aesthetics and its music marked an era. As was customary in the sixties and during his contract with RCA, Mancini recorded a legendary album with a selection of cues specially arranged for listening pleasure. This album has been available continuously for more than sixty years, and it is impossible to count the number of reissues around the world, as well as the countless covers that singers of all nationalities and styles have recorded of “Moon River.” But the original version, the one heard in the movie, the magnificent and clever underscore, or “Moon River” itself, performed by Audrey Hepburn, was not released until Intrada found the masters in the Paramount vaults and released the actual score on CD, for which we will never be able to thank Douglass Fake and his team enough. The new vinyl boom has given us the irresistible opportunity to release the original score on a luxurious double LP, with all the music, the dramatic score and the source music—music to love, to cry, to dance and to be moved by. Remastered and restored by Chris Malone from the bottom up from the original masters courtesy of Paramount, this white double vinyl includes a gatefold jacket and a separate booklet with liner notes by Jeff Bond and stills from the movie.

The adventure feel is right there in the second half for the island theme. Let the beautiful part be beautiful instead of rushed.

James and Lily look older in the Mirror, too - but that can be explained away by Harry seeing them with him as they would have been had they lived.

The Marauders/Snape are supposed to be in their 30s throughout the books so that's perfectly fine. They just aged them all up for the movies.

Just like Intrada
