Henry Get Your Gunn

GunnLike something straight out of the opening credits to North by Northwest, this, the original cover to Henry Mancini’s 1959 The Music From “Peter Gunn” aptly packages the swiftly-infused late 50’s power jazz within. Spy Hunter has nothing on Peter Gunn, clearly, and this original sleeve runs high-speed laps around its reissue, which was (im)perfectly showcased here. Word on the street (via Internet Ave) is that John Williams was part of Henry Mancini’s orchestra during this time, so hit your local brick and mortar first thing tomorrow and track this down this jazzy jamboree.

    The “Music from Peter Gunn” cover shown is RCA’s generic release cover. It was used on MFPG when they ran out of the original TV show title sequence cover with the “lightning bolts.” RCA used this cover on other releases and even had a LIVING STEREO banner version. I have seen it on the RCA MAD Magazine album, for example.
