Movie Hits Of '66 - Jimmy Sedlar

Theme From Our Man Flint

Full Album

Movie Hits Of '66
Jimmy Sedlar - His Trumpet & Orchestra

Arranged by Charles Calello

Produced by Hy Grill
Kapp KL-1467

From the back cover: Think of that inevitable moment in almost every movie, when the hero and the heroine exchange glances for the first time. You just know, in one brief sweep of the camera, that they are made for each other. Well, here's a whole album full of such moments. Only in this case the hero is a trumpet sound and the heroine a collection of exciting new songs from current hit films and shows.

Jimmy Sedlar, unquestionably one of the most dynamic and original trumpet soloists on the scene today, gives us his excitingly unique interpretations of the title song "Thunderball" and "Mister Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" from the new James Bond thriller, Theme from "The Spy Who Came in From The Cold", Love theme from "Madame X", Theme from "Juliet Of The Spirits" and many more.

Here's an album you'll play again and again... and each time, no matter how often, you'll discover new reasons why Jimmy Sedlar's unusual artistry and these great movie melodies are so wonderfully made for one another.

Arranged and Conducted Micky Erbe

Radio Shack backed a studio project to help market their new direct-to-disc process. From the back cover: Direct-to-Disc requires very accurate musicians and engineers, since there is no chance to correct even the slightest error!

Yup... this is the most "error free" version of SWAT I've ever heard!

Here we have a completely ridiculous pre-printed cover with track titles poorly printed at the top. There are no brass or marching band tunes on the record (I suspected as much from the track list).

The song covers aren't horrible and Danny Boy is pretty cool!

Soundstage Spectacular - Terry Baxter

To Sir With Love

Soundstage Spectacular
The Columbia Soundstage Orchestra Conducted By Terry Baxter
Columbia P2S 5284
1969 CBS Direct Marketing Services

Here's one of those albums that most collectors leave in the thrift bin. But I thought covers of 2001: A Space Odyssey, a tune from Barbarella and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Theme might be interesting. I also remembered buying a Terry Baxter three record boxed easy listening set that featured a few wild pop tune covers including a cover of Whole Lotta Love.

This record is fun light pop/easy with weird synth bridges between a few songs that don't seem to have any place in the record.
