The "Love Story" LP is sort of Mancini's response to Italian thriller soundtrack music of the early 1970s. "Theme for Three," "Theme from 'The Night Visitor,'" and "Harmonica Man" are all that right mix of creepy/sleazy that was synonymous with Euro B-film soundtracks of the period. And his version of M.A.S.H. (a song I never thought much of) is incredible. Plus, both Tommy Morgan and Muzzy Marcellino (Mr Harmonica and Mr Whistler) are credited on the LP! The Cop Show Themes LP is a little more disco/funk influenced, but his Streets of San Francisco cover alone is worth the 99 cents you'll probably pay for this record at your local Goodwill. Good stuff! [ Edited by: I, Zombie 2006-03-11 10:10 ]
