Stanley Black is a great conductor. I have alot of his his Decca phase 4 classical CDs. Recorded many dozen classical works in 50's and 60's, half available in box sets.
But turns out he did very many arrangements. Some are on CD, most on LP.
Lossy versions of a number are available on youtube.
I anyone have his LP or CD arrangements in better quality? vbr or lossless
It's a shame that most of the CDs available individually are not his large orchestra works, but the latin incidental pop music he wrote or arranged over a year or so.
For example, obviously the most famous thing he composed is the theme later used in Monty Python and the Holy Grail:

the promised land by Stanley Black (1966, The Music Of Stanley Black DW/LP 2977 )
The record is available but for example I have nothing to play LPs.
(I should probably ask Tango later seeing how it's a phase 4 recording like most of Black's. And there are many nice things on it ... )
There are some very clean (although lower bitrate) rips on youtube. In fact, three different ones it seems, but nobody says where they got them. Avax ... sites also do not seem to have the LP rip. Neither does RT.
