This import combines two complete soundtracks from the early part of Mancini's career, and both have been long out of print. "Hatari", besides featuring the sounds of the jungle which Mancini scored using actual instruments and gords brought to him by director Howard Hawks, contains some good jazz as well (especially a swinigin' "Big Band Bwana"). "High Time" has some fine moments as well, and both albums show why Mancini was always in such great demand by Hollywood. The price for this two-fer is nice, too, considering the pricetag found on other imports.
