I'm going to be the first to weigh in on this one. Wow! Call me crazy, but I absolutely LOVE this one. These tunes take me back...and I mean...back to the early/mid 70's. My grandparents on my mom's side listened to these songs non stop - so it brings back such wonderful memories.

All that doesn't matter. I think this sounds outstanding. Mix is superb, fidelity is superb and the songs are wonderful. I honestly have to give this a big 10.

Granted, I have an emotional connection with this music...still. Great stuff. I do believe the first half is slightly better than 2nd half.

Hee Haw, Gene! Perhaps I should give it another spin because the first time I listened to it I guess I wasn't in that sh*t~kickin' mood! I've always loved Mancini....especially his film music.
