Green Hornet Theme
Derek & Ray
RCA Victor LSP-3665
1966
Here we have a groovy 60s "atomic age" keyboard recording with orchestration arranged and conducted by none other than Marty Gold. Gold also gets credit for producing the LP.
Amazingly, there is almost no information to be found on this duo. It appears as if they made one other album, Two Different Worlds (RCA LSP 3426, 1965), also with Gold arrangements. Billboard gave that effort a good review.
This is so fabulous! Love the Green Hornet theme! They look like they wanted to be the next Ferrante & Teicher!
ReplyDeleteKeyboard sounds of today and the collective age of those instruments is probably 200 years LOL!
ReplyDeleteEither way, you don't get much harpsichord in any day. About the time this was released the Vox company introduced the first successful electronic harpsichord as seen on Lawrence Welk ( reruns on youtube).
