I love that series.

Henry Mancini - Charade (soundtrack 1963, Intrada reissue 2012)

Intrada did a superb job with one of Mancini's best projects. Instead of the RCA Victor commercial re-recording, we can enjoy for the first time the actual 77 minute soundtrack mastered from the original scoring session elements. In another departure, rather than record in Hollywood, for the first time Henry went to London's Cine-Tele Sound Studio. John Barry later made most of the James Bond soundtracks there.

Looks like a fun place to work.

Augustus Pablo - Roots, Rockers & Dub (2023)

Johnny Williams - Checkmate (TV soundtrack 1961)

This unjustly forgotten soundtrack to an unjustly forgotten detective show deserved its Grammy nomination. Loads of first class West Coast jazzers played without label credit on this one, including Pete Candoli, Conrad Gozzo, Dick Nash, Joe Mondragon and Shelly Manne.

^ I unjustly forgot it.

It was likely run on weeknights (also known as "school nights"), plus it does not look like what my parents would let me watch in 2nd or 3rd grade.
