"A classic Lalo soundtrack that's every bit as good as Bullitt and Mission Impossible. Only available on vinyl until this much needed reissue. Much better than the recent re-recording by Lalo on his Adelph label."
Finally, the REAL Mannix

"Collector's Choice has finally given us the reissue of the original television score to Mannix. It is a delight to relive this music after all these years. The original liner notes from the LP are included as well. The sound is surprisingly good for a recording that, I am guessing, had few rehearsals (sometimes the trombones are just on this side of struggling with their parts). Still, it brings back a lot of memories. While some of the tunes sound dated (and others do not), it only adds to the charm of this release!"
Great Music

"Prior to this CD purchase, I had scoured used record stores looking for the original sound track album, but could not find one. In 2005 I heard about the new release, but wasn't quite the same. I bought it and we enjoyed listening to it.
Now that I am computer literate I was able to find an original Mannix soundtrack album on e-bay. I recorded the album to my own CD. The record which was actually a new, old stock record was never opened / played.
When the CD of the original sound track came out I thought I'd get that too. I guess with the popularity of the Mannix TV Shows on DVD, they probably felt the old record should be re-issued on CD.
It sounds great. I really didn't remember much of the music from the 60's TV Show but it sounds wonderful to hear it now."
