Question

Ennio Morricone does Henry Mancini

I'm looking for a CD with Ennio Morricone's version of Henry Mancini's "It Had Better Be Tonight". The song was originally in the Pink Panther movie back in the 60's. Morricone did a kicked up version that IMO is much better. There are two versions , arranged by Morricone on YouTube - one w/ vocals by Miranda Martino. I have searched itunes and Amazon with no luck. Here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0jl8_maMwI
EDIT: Found It!
EDIT: I spoke too soon. Still can't find it.
EDIT: Thx for the help & nice link! I bought Easy Tempos Vol. 10, it had the vocal version & some other fun tunes by various artists. The Ultimate Mood Collection had a bad review so I passed. I already have a few spaghetti western albums of Ennio anyway.

The instrumental version can be found on the Japanese CD called "Ultimate Mood Music Collection" (BVCM-37203). The vocal version comes from the long out-of-print Japanese 10CD box called "Chronicles". Both should also be found on a couple different LP's of Morricone arrangements. You might search for the title "Meglio Stasera".
