All recordings have been digitally mastered from the original master tapes & are in True Stereo wherever possible. Includes a full 8-page booklet with detailed liner notes on each song.

A Slight Innacuracy.......2007-06-13

The version of "Nadia's Theme" (Theme from The Young and the Restless) isn't actually the one you're expecting. I believe it's actually the original arrangement made for "Bless the Beasts and the Children". So what later became the Young and the Restless theme (the one that was a hit) still remains unreleased on CD.

Hopefully, we can see that version on a future release. Maybe they could get "Little Ballerina Blue" on one while they're at it.

Still, some great stuff here.

Excelente .......2007-03-22

El tema de nadia es una de las canciones mas excelentes de la historia de la musica

Hard to Find Orchestral Instrumentals, Vol. 2.......2006-03-22

The purchase went as we had hoped. The delievry was as promised, and the quality of the product equal too, or above our expectations.

Not totally an instrumental.......2006-03-10

I was excited to find this album. I bought it but was horrified to find a loud vocal on the first track. The rest of the music is all instrumental but this one track simply JARS you when it plays. Very disappointing!

Another Collection You Wonr Find Anywhere else.......2003-05-06

Well, ERIC records has done it again.

Continuing their unique practice of giving us both well known hits and impossible to find rarities, Eric presents Volume 2 of "Hard to Find Orchestral Instrumentals". This one is, in my opinion, even better than the first.

First off, the sound quality of this disk is ASTOUNDING. ERIC has gotten the various reissue departments to provide them with absolute first generation mono and stereo masters and this CD proves it. The aural quality is breathtaking. The fact that Orchestral music is so beautifully suited for true stereo playback is exhibited here, as a whopping 15 of the 20 tracks are True Stereo and sound magnificent.

There are, of course, the big soundtrack hits here, like 'The Day The Rains Came" "Rocky", "Ben Casey", "Theme from The Apartment", and " Nadias Theme". All top 30 and well remembered. However, for this 43 year old fan, it was the some of the lessor known tracks, in particulatr the 1963 Colpix low level charter "Theme From The Long Ships" that really makes this collection the gem that it is. Outstanding tracks include "Theme From The Sundowners" , "The Dark At The Top of The Stairs" and "I Will Follow Him" , all tracks that will suddenly sound familiar again after first listen.

Therein lies the BEST part of this collection. When you put this on your player, you will be treated to a nostalgic feast,
a time when the magic of Orchestral music still ruled the charts, and existed in all our homes. And you'll certainly remember most of these once you hear them, which is the fun part!!

There arent enough great things I can say about this collection AND its sister CD "Hard To Find pop Instrumentals- Part 2" I personally liked this volume better, but if you dont have either yet, give yourself a musical treat, and some REAL listening enjoyment and pick these up...

Its listening the way it used to be.

Excellent Album.......2006-07-01

I will start off by saying that I am not a Janis Ian fan. If you are not a Janis Ian fan don't disregard this album. This is one album in my collection that I don't seem to get tired of.
Fly to High was one of her big hits and Other Side of the Sun, Here Comes the Night and Have Mercy Love are also excellent. This is a well put together album and well worth a listen

Customer Reviews:

Janis at her best.......1999-09-12

This is by far my favorite Janis Ian recording, although it is hard to put *Hunger* and *Between the Lines* below it. Every song is clear, rhythmic, and meaningful with lyrics that are piercing and tender. Janis cannot be categorized, but her songs combine jazz, folk, and rock in ways I haven't experienced before. You haven't heard live music until you've seen Janis in concert. Her guitar is totally awesome. Besides which, she is a wonderful human being and a true artist with integrity. When you combine guts, persistence, intelligence, talent, sensitivity, passion, creativity, depth, and love, you about have Janis Ian. She also is an excellent writer (as well as superb songwriter), evidenced by some of the columns she has written (more coming on the web). Check out her Website too; you'll see what I mean. (if you love Janis you will also love reading Anne Lamott & listening to *Rhona at Night*.)

Continuing to mature and explore.......1999-07-11

This is not only one of my favorite Janis Ian albums, it's one of my favorite albums, period. It's also one of her most musically diverse, and her imaginitive songs are masterfully executed by a group of musicians that includes such luminaries as Chick Corea, Clarence Clemmons and Mike Mainieri. Her singing, keyboard and guitar playing are as good as ever, and her lyrics are strong and evocative. Now, folk purists who are fans of her early material may find the seamless production too sterile, or the arrangements too bizarre (especially on songs such as "Memories"). But for those with broader tastes, I fervently recommend _Night Rains_.

Another great album by the brilliant songwriter.......1999-01-06

This is another of the very best albums by the brilliant singer/songwriter. The only drawback is that it would benefit from digital remastering.
