Album Description

ABC commissioned this TV series which starred Van Williams as the hero and of course, the legendary Bruce Lee as his sidekick. Based on the classic 1930's radio series about a newspaper owner Britt Reid. Billy May, celebrated composer and arranger referenced his theme music around Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakoff's classic 'The Flight Of The Bumble Bee' although there's plenty of original scoring too. Special limited edition is remastered and the outstanding accompanying booklet is simply stunning packed with masses of authoritative and little-known information and rare photographs! Pinnacle.

Good Musical Performances and a Nice Try but Audio Quality is 1966, LOW-Fi. CD Booklet is Better than CD........2006-09-14

This TV Soundtrack of THE GREEN HORNET is pretty pricey as an import with poor audio quality, but a nice CD booklet.

You get 11 short tunes in 24 minutes.

The worst thing is that the high frequency notes sound overdriven and a bit distorted, most evident during trumpet music. I guess we all got spoiled from THE GREEN HORNET THEME with Al Hirt on the KILL BILL VOL. 1 SOUNDTRACK, where it sounds "perfect," or at least it sounds so normal that you don't notice any distracting distortion in the treble and trumpet sounds. This is often a problem with this import CD, though. Bummer.

You don't get the opening theme song with Al Hirt until last on this import CD, which should have been first, in my opinion. Everybody recognizes the classic and wants THAT song with Al Hirt. Instead they start the CD with that same song, but in a non-Al Hirt version, which compares poorly and worries the listener as to whether they have been cheated, "HEY, THAT'S NOT THE REAL GREEN HORNET THEME SONG!" This opening cut is like a REALLY out of tune version of the theme song, which is strange, indeed.

Most of the other music is agreeable. "Casey" is the song for the secretary who knows they are the Green Hornet. "Kato" has a nice oriental sound. "Black Beauty" is really happy and out of character for their "rolling arsenal" and famous car; it sounds like a happy car wash tune from a 1960's teen flick. "Do the Hornet" is also corny sounding. "Guardarahornet" sound like a mellow jazz bachelor pad tune.

The last three songs are variations of the opening theme song, with acceptable versions before the real deal, finally, coming last.

The CD booklet is the saving grace, full of many small photos, but interesting photo choices. It also has a good biography about the show and it's main creative people/actors.

If you must have this, after knowing all this, then you will probably like it. But don't expect a heavenly soundtrack experience! This is just okay, and probably only worth the import price for the most serious Green Hornet fans only.

I bought two copies, trusting a good experience, one for me and one for a gift, but the poor audio quality is forcing me to return the gift copy unopened, back to amazon.

Jazzy Feel.......2002-12-21

If you watched this show during its short, original run, I'm sure you will appreciate the 60s feel of the soundtrack. This CD is worth every cent and it offers extended versions of what you heard back then. I particularly like listening to the classy "Casey" and the bouncy go-go boots number "Do The Hornet". The picture sleeve is particularly attractive, as well. What a great show!

THIS IS A GREAT CD!.......2000-07-10

When I first saw this CD, I was quite taken because this was never released over here before in the states. I'm a fanof the old radio programs and the TV show that was on in the 60's, and for some reason the catchy up tempo music stuck in my mind. When I listen to this CD, I noticed that there's no dialog, or any background interference, just the music itself. Now the music itself is kind of a Ska sound with a lot of horns. There's a 60's feel in the tempo of the music, and the bass and drums are a perfect sound that will get your foot taping. It's be a great retro dance record, if released. The price on this is high I know, but it's worth every penny. You don't have to be a Green Hornet fan to enjoy it, if you are it only gets better! I highly recommend this CD! Now if they would only release a Batman CD from the 60's TV show! One that is as good as this one!
