BB review 16 June 62 pg 20. Film released 29 May 62. CB listing for 'June new albums released by RCA' in 16 June 62 issue pg 20. CB review 23 June 62 pg 30. Hard to pin down exact release date as Mancini had just won several Oscars for Breakfast at Tiffany's which had this LP high on all in the biz's radar [there were at least 2 articles in CB June mentioned this LP].

Indeed, the "Z" in the "ZPRS" matrix no. prefix indicates 1970.


mod edit: year changed to 1970

No, because Cash Box reviewed it on page 38 of their issue of 14th September!

Comment by BenLPMarts:

I searched August and didn't find anything but before giving up tried some google search tricks and found a BB notice as a 'New Action LP' in the BB album reviews 16 Nov 68 pg 59. Does that merit making this a Nov 68 release?

CB review also 11 April 70 pg 30, [The RW review is pg 18]. BB review 18 April 70 pg 64.

Comment by BenLPMarts:

Got tired of trying to find a review [there may be one...] but did find a BB full-page advert in the 27 March 1960 pg 43; the mono LP charted BB that week. It's my guess the LP hit stores [my benchmark] in March after the sgl release in February.

Interesting that Mancini had a theme done for the show premier of 24 Oct 59. Mancini cut the LP over a few days in Dec '59, launched the medium hit sgl in Feb and this LP in March following in the lucrative footsteps of Peter Gunn not to mention Mancini's long and memorable career of TV & film music. He was quite prolific.

BB & CB reviews 2 Jan 1965 [BB pg 36; CB pg 22]. BB full-page advert 9 Jan 65 and mention as a January new release same issue. I dunno, but I reckon this sneaks in as a 28 or 29 December 1964 release.

Comment by BenLPMarts:

OK so this film premiered in Italy 12.18.63 and USA 3.18.64 [as per wiki]. BUT both BB & CB run LP reviews 11 April 64 [BB pg 98; CB pg 22 (actual pg 58)]. So the music was all done in 1963 but I bet you couldn't buy an LP until 7 Apr 64. I haven't checked for global release but I bet Hollywood back then liked to roll out a film in the US and then other countries after. Full-page advert CB 11 Apr 64 pg 13 [also their Movie & Stage special issue which also had a story on Mancini].

A6 track title should be: Duke's Place (Based On "C Jam Blues"), but I can't prove it.
