I am not a fan of this style of music, so i won't vote on it. But i did buy it, mostly hopping there would be mostly the jazzier sounds, like The pink Panther {which was very good}. But there was too much orchrestral music with vocals, which i didn't care for at all. Over all i didn't like it, and sold it.
 
I agree. I picked this up for $4 (Newbury Comics, Boston MA) and the $4 covers the cost of the excellent Pink Panther theme. The rest is beautifully recorded, but is extremely mellow for my tastes. The Peter Gunn theme is pretty tepid too; I prefer the original stereo version on an old RCA CD that I have.
 
Well, I think some of the reviews on that site are totally fake to enhance sales through the links provided.
 
This is like to different albums mashed up and I happen to like just the instrumental, jazzier part. It's only three songs, but I'd bought this title again, if only for The Pink Panther Theme - one of the definite demo songs to me. It's almost perfect in surround, when the brass section is coming at you from the rears. Saaaaaaah! Errrm, a seven.
