The score was among the first to be handled here by Bob McCluskey, the local rep for the Marks firm. ‘Mondo Cane’ disk versions include a United Artists original soundtrack LP, plus three UA singles, including a Danny Williams jazz single, and a single, “More,” from the original soundtrack. Other disks are a Martin Denny single and LP (Liberty), Steve Lawrence (Columbia), Della Reese (RCA Victor), Charlie Byrd (Riverside), Clebenoff (Mercury), and a soon to be issued, a jazz version on Cameo-Parkway, and a recording by Katyna Panieri on London Records.
