Wax Love present a reissue of Henry Mancini's soundtrack for Breakfast At Tiffany's, originally released in 1961. In a career spanning over four decades, composer, conductor, and arranger Enrico "Henry" Mancini (1924-1994) won numerous Academy and Grammy awards for his scores to well-known films and television series, including The Pink Panther, Hatari! (1962), Two For The Road (1967), Wait Until Dark (1967), Peter Gunn (1967), and of course, 1961's Breakfast At Tiffany's which alone won five Grammys and two Oscars. The Breakfast At Tiffany's soundtrack is probably best remembered for Audrey Hepburn's legendary performance of Mancini's "Moon River" (lyrics by Johnny Mercer), which won an Academy Award for Best Song that year. "Moon River" went on to become one of the best loved songs of all time, but it first made its appearance here, in Breakfast At Tiffany's.

Henry Mancini's soundtrack provides an easy listening tour of continental musical history: Parisian café songs on "Bistro," Eastern European gypsy music on "Bateau Mouche," Schubert quartets on "Bye Charlie," and some beer barrel polka on "Punch and Judy." Thrown in for variety's sake are dashes of Bond soundtracks, Cossack songs, and Strauss waltzes. Mancini also shows his south of the border touch on "Mambo Parisienne" (picture Perez Prado sporting an accordion), "Latin Snowfall" (transcendentally gorgeous bolero, one of his best), and "Mégève" (bossa nova for the Biarritz set). Also don't overlook one of his biggest hits and finest melodies, "Charade."

Peter Sellers' first Hollywood movie concerns the chaos caused by an out-of-work actor when he's accidentally invited to a lavish Hollywood party. Its swinging soundtrack was composed by the legendary Henry Mancini, and is performed by a team of top-flight jazz musicians including Larry Bunker (vibes), Bill Plummer (sitar), Jimmie Rowles (piano) and Shelly Manne (drums). Originally issued in April 1968, it makes its long-awaited return to CD here.
