From AllMusic: This is a compilation of obscure compositions from Henry Mancini’s albums and soundtracks, recorded 1958-1967, assembled to take advantage of the fashion for "lounge" music. The emphasis is on the exotic and campy aspects of Mancini’s work, typified by the "Moon River Cha Cha" and Latin-style tracks like "Lightly Latin" from Mr. Lucky and "Rain Drops in Rio." The effect is to display the composer’s major tendencies — his affection for odd instrumentation, such as the harpsichord in "Playboy’s Theme," his use of small groups, and his short, unusual melody lines.

This album is terrific and locating it suits me right down to the ground.
