The Untouchables

Two of TV's most legendary crime series, 'The Untouchables' and 'The Naked City,' both inspired unusual concept albums to help promote their popularity and both are combined on CD for the first time in this new Jasmine Records release–and in their rare stereo versions. For 'The Naked City,' composer George Duning and lyricist Ned Washington came up with a story idea set to original songs, similar to Gordon Jenkins' 'Manhattan Tower' and Judy Garland's 'The Letter,' performed here by James Darren and Jo Ann Greer as two young lovers who meet in New York City. John McIntire narrates the story, with music conducted by Morris Stoloff.

This astoundingly prolific Italian composer's alternately dreamily hypnotic, bracingly dissonant and tensely pulsating scores have graced nearly 400 films and TV programs since the early 1960s. Ennio Morricone first came to international prominence with a haunting score that whined and whistled through the parched and dusty streets of Sergio Leone's landmark "spaghetti" Western, "A Fistful of Dollars" (1964)–the first of six collaborations between the two. Several of his musical underscores have proven popular in the USA, particularly those for Roland Joffe's "The Mission" (1986) and Brian De Palma's "The Untouchables" (1987), but he may be most famous for the rousing theme to Leone's "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" (1966-Italy; 1968-USA)

In this new edition, Thomas L. Friedman includes fresh stories and insights to help us understand the flattening of the world. Weaving new information into his overall thesis, and answering the questions he has been most frequently asked by parents across the country, this third edition also includes two new chapters—on how to be a political activist and social entrepreneur in a flat world; and on the more troubling question of how to manage our reputations and privacy in a world where we are all becoming publishers and public figures.
