Oodles of Doodles XXV


You're truly getting your oodles of doodles in just this single post today. All six of these doodles figure from the back of Gordon Jenkins-The Complete Manhattan Tower (Capitol T766). This recording appears to have been much hyped in it's day, recorded in hi-fi for the first time, expanding on the original recording from 1945. It's all pretty much disappeared from view now, as it doesn't seem to have been reissued on CD yet. As usual, the doodles aren't credited.

Some of these doodles have titles, I think. Maybe they are just descriptions of the songs. The one above says "Steven first enters the Tower, and views the Magical City."

The doodle above is either "Steven and Julie meet", "They go dancing" or "Love comes to the Tower". Take your pick, I guess...

This one is obviously "A pre-dawn ride in Central Park".

Above is "The Statue of Liberty".

And the last one is "Steven reluctantly bids farewell to Julie and the Tower". There, now you don't have to buy the record. You pretty much know how it goes.
