Quartet Records has announced a new soundtrack album for the original 1964 The Pink Panther movie co-written and directed by Blake Edwards and starring David Niven, Peter Sellers, Robert Wagner, Claudia Cardinale and Capucine. The album features the premiere release of the original film tracks of the comedy’s original score composed and conducted by Academy Award winner Henry Mancini (Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Santa Claus: The Movie, The Thorn Birds, Charade, Lifeforce), the original song It Had Better Be Tonight (Meglio Stasera) written by Mancini & Johnny Mercer and performed by Fran Jeffries, as well as alternate versions and unused music. Also included is a remastered version of the original RCA soundtrack album, which Mancini recorded with new arrangements. The 2-CD set, which is being released to coincide with the movie’s 60th anniversary, is now available to order on the label’s official website, where you can also check audio samples.
