I only have YOUNG HOLLYWOOD COMPOSERS (because it has Williams music). Never heard the others, but would be interested to hear.

Yes, the latter is a fine album (although my copy has a lot of pops and crackles). "Tuesday's Theme" never appeared in the film proper (BACHELOR FLAT), but was released as a sort of 'inspired by' single later (inspired by Tuesday Weld's character in the film).

I just listened to the Williams penned track, it was quite nice lounge music. Is the whole album easy listening fare like that? 

 

No this theme is not even included in the Checkmate album, as it is a co-composition with Dory Previn. The Checkmate album is very jazz and it's a must!

 

 

I recommend this CD, for a superior sound quality:

Not from BACHELOR FLAT, strictly speaking (as I mentioned earlier in the thread), but inspired by Tuesday Weld's character. It doesn't appear in the movie.

Bad clipping.

 

That's was badly recorded, there's nothing to do with this recording. Don't ask why it hasn't come out earlier.

Isn’t ‘Hassle in the Castle’ the same tune, though?

”Tuesday’s Theme” makes a remastered appearance as a bonus track on the re-release of Rhythm In Motion. 

 

Yes but to be clear, that's the single version, not the version from the Previn album.

Williams conducted three albums for Previn. The first one, from 1962 on RCA Records, "Young Hollywood Composers", even has some Williams music. In 1963 and 64 came out "André Previn In Hollywood" and "Soundstage", both on CBS. The later one was re-released in the 70's under the title "The Jazz Piano of Andre Previn".

 

The Sound Stage album was remastered by Dutton in 2014. Now it seems to be out of print but Europadisc still has it, at a very good price.
