NotesThe Music from Peter Gunn is a 1959 album by Henry Mancini (RCA LPM/LSP-1956), the soundtrack of the TV series Peter Gunn. It was the first album ever to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1959. It was followed by More Music from Peter Gunn (RCA LPM/LSP-2040). The opening theme music is notable for it's combination of jazz orchestration with a straightforward, rock 'n roll beat. In his autobiography Did They Mention the Music? Mancini stated: "The "Peter Gunn" title theme actually derives more from rock and roll than from jazz. I used guitar and piano in unison, playing what is known in music as an ostinato, which means obstinate. It was sustained throughout the piece, giving it a sinister effect, with some frightened saxophone sounds and some shouting brass. The piece has one chord throughout and a super-simple top line." The Music from Peter Gunn was selected by the Library of Congress as a 2010 addition to the National Recording Registry, which selects recordings annually that are "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

A classic reissued
This album was recorded in 1958 and it is still as fresh and enjoyable as it was then. Henry Mancini isn't known for writing and performing jazz, but here he was up to the task. The iconic main theme song from the TV series charges out on the first track and what follows is a blend of easy-going swing to brash trumpets, saxes, 'bones and drums. Of particular high quality is the tune "Dreamsville". I was 10 years old when it was recorded, and first bought a copy of this album around 1966. By now, it has become scratchy and worn from playing it over and over. I still listen to vinyl and when I found that this new pressing was available, I snapped it up. The quality of the disc and the packaging is top notch. The cover is indistinguishable from the original, and the quality of the disc itself surpasses the original. This set of 12 tracks is just plain "cool"!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
