From the website:

“Dragon’s Domain Records presents the world premiere soundtrack release for ASSAULT ON A QUEEN, featuring music composed by the legendary Duke Ellington for the 1966 adventure/thriller directed by Jack Donohue, written by Jack Finney (INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS), starring Frank Sinatra, Vina Lisi, Anthony Franciosa, Richard Conte, Alf Kjellin and Errol John.

Because of his packed schedule, there was very little time for Ellington to write and record the score. Ellington had to leave to begin a concert tour overseas, and work on the score continued with the participation of Nathan Van Cleave, a veteran composer and orchestrator who had often worked for Paramount, on films such as WHITE CHRISTMAS and ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS. In addition arranger-orchestrator Frank Comstock joined the team to assist in the arranging and orchestrating.

The ASSAULT ON A QUEEN score masters sadly are lost. This release was rescued from the film's monaural music stem. Fluctuating volume levels have been smoothed out, but some hiss is audible, as are occasional low-level sound effects and dialogue bleed from the film's audio masters. All of these have been minimized, with light stereo ambiance added to improve listenability.”
