Amarcord Nino Rota

[Chuck Nessa]

Just got this - no chance to play, but I am sure it sounds great. 

[JSngry]

who's putting this out? I only have a cassette dub of the LP and would dearly love it both legitimately and improvedly.

Ah, THOSE guys. figures. Sorry, Woody Herman Mars, this comes first.

OK, but who are they?  Or rather  what else have they released?    (Am I just showing my usual ignorance here?)

They have been busy, and they have done excellent work.

I haven't played it in a while, but I had it on LP, have it now on CD, and have enjoyed it over the years.

[mjzee]

The LP had close to 30 minutes a side, so the CD has a chance of sounding better.  If they used the LP masters, it'll probably sound the same.

This isn't the first time it has been available on CD - Hannibal previously released it in 1991. I've had a copy of that one since at least the mid-90s.

Got this as very nice original  Hannibal fold out vinyl release from 1981  .... the music is structured as sublime hommage to Nino Rota's euvre and is a gratifying listen (independetly of even knowing the original compositions) ....

My copy of the cd jewell box has a hole punched in it so I must have bought it remaindered.

I still have the LP, but can't play records anymore. They're in storage.

Hal Wilner's masterpiece.
