INTRADA Announces: PALM SPRINGS WEEKEND Composed and Conducted by FRANK PERKINS INTRADA Special Collection 376 The 1963 Warner Bros. soundtrack album from Palm Springs Weekend was roughly one third songs (performed by popular young stars of the era) and two thirds original scoring by Frank Perkins—a meld of danceable numbers and orchestral background music. Perkins (1908–1988) was classically trained but, after graduating from Brown University in 1929, he formed a dance band and started writing popular songs. His biggest hit was the 1934 jazz standard “Stars Fell on Alabama,” recorded by Guy Lombardo and over 100 other artists. He joined Warner Bros. as a composer and conductor in 1939. Much of his film work involved uncredited stock music. He was also active in television, contributing to such shows as Hawaiian Eye and 77 Sunset Strip. In 1962 he was nominated for an Academy Award for orchestrating, supervising and conducting the musical Gypsy,starring Rosalind Russell. This premiere CD release on Intrada presents the complete Warner Bros. album, newly mastered from the ¼” 15 ips stereo album master made at that legendary studio on September 19, 1963. Troy Donahue headlines this romp as Jim Munroe, captain of the West’s #1 college basketball team, in town with his buddies for a fast-break frolic of fun, sun and romance. Jim meets true love Bunny (Stefanie Powers) at a record store. Gail (Connie Stevens) falls for the wrong guy (Robert Conrad) but emerges with her reputation unsullied thanks to Stretch (Ty Hardin). Team nerd Biff (Jerry Van Dyke) finds he doesn’t need the “romance machine” he’s invented when the real thing (Zeme North) comes along. And Coach Campbell (Jack Weston) puts on a full-court press to win Naomi (Carole Cook). It’s a spring fling for one and all!

I have always followed with enthusiasm all the enterprises of Doug, Roger & Co since their very beginnings. Not even the Vince Di Cola's ROCKY V had managed to discourage me (even if it is far from my liking). This is the very first time I see myself forced to give up. Sorry, but no thanks.

The "orchestra only" etilists are the worse.. a soundtrack doesn't consist only in orchestra ever! As much as I love it. Nothing wrong with a lil of good movin' jazz.

I happen to like this sort of stuff, not necessarily my favorite but it suits a certain mood. Was going to say it should have been paired with the Hawaiian Eye television soundtrack but I see that's already been released a couple of times by other labels. |

A pairing with another LP would have been nice because this one is so short. But the days of the LP doubleheader are mostly over. Look at Kritzerland or Varese, too. |

On top of the That Girl-Earle Hagen/Mancini-style big band cuts, it has vocals by teen hunk-hearthrobs Robert Conrad and Ty Hardin! My mind is spinning! Thanks, Intrada! |

As soon as this is pulled from the catalog it'll become a cult classic and fetch big dollars online.
