Music For An Arabian Night - Ron Goodwin And His Orchestra

Music For An Arabian Night
Ron Goodwin And His Concert Orchestra
Parlophone/EMI Records (England) PMC 1109
1959

Available from online vendors so I will not be posting a sample. Presented here to share the cover variations and Billboard review.

Ron Goodwin was a prolific soundtrack composer who wrote the scores for films such as Village Of The Damned, Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines and Force 10 From Navarone.

From Billboard - October 10, 1960: Here are some sophisticated arrangements of Eastern melodies. Music for you Turkish coffee and water pipe. Quite an engaging package with a touch of novelty. Don't get the idea it is too far out for Western ears. It is cut for the Western audience, but with its inspiration in the land of the houris and flying carpets.
