"The previous reviewer, "Dissapointed", shouldn't be. Or, at least, he wasn't cheated. "Poor Butterfly" is on Mancini's "Brass On Ivory" album, not this one. And Warm Shade does indeed have only have 10 songs.
As far as I know, Brass On Ivory hasn't been released in CD."
Disappointed

"While the music and talent of Henry Mancini is nothing short of brilliant, and Doc Severinson's performances are equally as great, I find fault with the companies that don't release a CD that includes everything on the vinyl counterpart.
There are usually twelve songs on any given LP. I don't have the vinyl copy in front of me, but I do know that the song I really wanted is not on the CD version.
While this CD may be techincally great it is not complete. For whatever reason the contents of this CD are not on Amazon's page and therefore I purchased it blindly. My mistake for assuming that it would be an exact copy of the vinyl album.
The song I wanted, "Poor Butterfly," is not on the CD version of the album. If you are buying this CD for that song you will also be disappointed.
Just a warning."

"Those familiar with Mancini's work or drawn to similar Bossa like exotica rhythm's will appreciate this album... I could do without just a couple of the tracks on it, but if you are like me and a big fan of Baxter, Wanderly, Herp Albert & Tijuana Brass, Mendes, Ellis Regina, and all Mancini blue-ish type stuff, worth playing. All things considered 10/12 tracks I really enjoyed so 5/6 rating..."
