About this release

Él/Cherry Red Records ACMEM155CD (UK)

Track 25 recorded in Los Angeles, California January 1957.
Tracks 26 and 27: From the film Rock, Pretty Baby (1956). Recorded in 1956.
Track 28: From the film Four Girls In Town (1957). Recorded in 1957.

This compilation is a combination of the albums "Driftwood and Dreams" and the original LP "The Versatile Henry Mancini". The last four songs on this CD are not on either album, but come from singles and/or soundtracks.
"Driftwood and Dreams" was Mancini's first solo album and was recorded in mono. A few years after that album's release, Mancini assembled the same musicians to record the same songs, but in stereo, that album was called "The Versatile Henry Mancini"

Thanks to snobb for the addition and js for the updates
