NEW - THE PINK PANTHER (2-CD) Music by HENRY MANCINI - Quartet 2024

The only Pink Panther I'm familiar with is the old cartoon (they even made a game for it for PS1 that I did have). Oh, and the Steve Martin movies (liked the first one when I was younger, the second not so much). Never saw the old ones, and despite the Martin movies the character is mostly associated with the cartoon for me.

 

Interesting fact: The Pink Panther is also one of the 25 greatest American film scores of all time according to the AFI! Alongside Out of Africa, this means the definitive editions of two out of these 25 scores will be released in the upcoming days. :cheer:

I still don't get what the pink panther cartoon character has to do with the rest of the film.

I am sure, it has nothing to do with it and makes no sense.

 

And that's what I like about those old movies.

Urgh, I still don't like mono.


You’ll still have great stereo for the original album program, given the Chris Malone treatment so sounding better than ever. Think of the premiere of the film recording as a surprise bonus. ;) Who knows… you may even end up loving it.

I still don’t get what Peter Sellers has to do with the Pink Panther cartoon. 

I love the theme and to me it’s about an animated pink panther.

In the film, the Pink Panther is a diamond that if you look closely, you can see the silhouette of a Panther. 
 

David Niven was the main character, a jewel thief, but Seller’s Clouseau was secondary character.. However his character was probably deemed as box office potential.

 

It was the second film, A Shot In The Dark, where Sellers began to mold the character, with the more ridiculous accent and reoccurring cast of supporting characters.

 

The Return of the Pink Panther featured the same plot point, of the Pink Diamond, and Christopher Plumber stepped in to David Niven’s role from the first film. After that they just kept the Pink Panther name in the titles, even though the diamond wasn’t part of the series anymore.

I am wondering. Why would that be sarcastic about that?

 

I dunno, I was confused by @Davis's and @bruce marshall's reactions. I also have autism which can make it more difficult for me to detect sarcasm in some contexts, so I thought I'd ask before giving my two cents. :)

 

When wearing headphones or earbuds which feed sounds directly into your left and right ears without any 'bleedthrough' of the left channel signal into your right ear and vice-versa, I automatically expect the width of the soundstage to be more extreme than when listening through a set of speakers, where the left ear is inevitably going to pick up some of the right channel signal and vice-versa. More so, even, when the distance between the listener and the set of speakers becomes increasingly larger than the distance between the speakers themselves.

Mono music can be hard to listen to with headphones on because the music ends up sounding like its in the middle of your head.

 

Mono music can be ok to listen to when played on speakers in a room, because its just an audio source coming from a place like anything else

Correct .

That's why labels sometimes put reverb on; it makes the head phones sound like two speakers
