Music For A Privare Eye - Ralph Marterie

Perry Mason Theme


Ralph Marterie and His Marlboro Men
Music For A Private Eye
Swinging Themes of Famous TV Whodunits
Arrangements by Pete Rugolo & Skippy Martin

From Billboard - October 19, 1959: Marterie has turned out a swinging, big band set with a fine, deep stereo sound about it. With commercial big ensemble arrangements by Pete Rugulo and Skip Martin, the group charges into 10 different TV type private eye themes. Examples would include "M Squad," "Perry Mason," "Richard Diamond," "The Thin Man," "77 Sunset Strip," etc. Good cover shows Marterie in private eye-type raincoat looking over a couple of find looking fem specimens.
