After 20 years of music being reissued on CD, one would suppose there would be little left in the vaults to mine but Eric Records has proven that assumption powerfully wrong. This successor to Eric's "Hard To Find Orchestral Instrumentals" is an amazing accomplishment. Most of the 20 tracks included here have never before appeared on legitimate CD. And we're not talking only obscurities either. For the first time we get Barry DeVorzon's "Nadia's Theme" a/k/a "The Young And The Restless" from 1976 and George Cates' 1956 version of "Moonglow And Theme From Picnic", both top-10 tunes heretofore ignored on CD. Among other top-40 tunes to finally see the light of day are Valjean's "Theme From Ben Casey" and Raymond LeFevre's "The Day The Rains Came". In amongst the rarities are Ron Goodwin's "Swinging Sweethearts" from 1957 and "Beautiful Obsession" by Ernie Freeman doing business as Sir Chauncy. And while some of these tracks never had the chart success they deserved, the fan of orchestral instrumentals will revel in rediscovering or even discovering for the first time these performances. Sound quality is of utmost concern here as with other Eric CD's and many of these lushly orchestrated tunes come forth in room-filling stereo. Even the mono sides (4,5,9,14,15) are good sounding given the vintage of some of these tracks. The liner notes booklet completes the package with backround on each of the included tunes. An absolutely outstanding CD and a must get for both the casual fan and hard-nosed collector of the genre.
