Many Splendored Themes - The Fantastic Strings Of Felix Slatkin

Peter Gunn
Many Splendored Themes
The Fantastic Strings Of Felix Slatkin
Liberty Premier LSS 14011
1961

This album was fun for me to collect if only for the amazing packaging. Both the front and back cover feature fragile die-cuts that allow the colorful inner sleeve to peak through. Terrific graphic design for 1961.

The music is lush orchestrated easy listening with nice space age touches. The cover of Peter Gunn is one of the "funkier" selections from this fine Liberty release.

    This fine album by Felix Slatkin has now been remastered and released on CD (as of 2/21/12), coupled with "The Magnificent XII". The CD is on the Hit Parade label, and is a limited edition of 2000, so get your copy while you can.
