The big bombastic sound of Roland Shaw now, this is one of a few LP's released during the late 60's early 70's by Roland, I've been searching for the others for ever, if anyones hoarding these please rip 'em & post 'em. If we work together we can make this the definitive spy music resource, in the end we all benefit.
Many thanks to Loungetracks for this rip.

Roland Shaw was London (the UK branch of Decca) Records' leading house arranger during its Phase 4 years.
He worked with London mainstays Ted Heath and Frank Chacksfield, updating old standards and adapting current hits like "Honky Tonk Women."
Under his own name, Shaw released several albums of music from James Bond and other spy movies and television series.
Unlike many who milked the popularity of these tunes for an easy buck, Shaw actually improved upon the originals, if only subtly.
His arrangement of Jerry Goldsmith's theme from "In Like Flint," for example, adds a persistent rhythm line tapped out on alto cowbells that drives the number to a higher level of intensity.
Cut for cut, his Music for Secret Agents is probably the best single compilation of spy music around.

London is not the UK Branch of Decca. It is the "Decca Label" for USA, Canada and other non-European Countries.

this is the exact same cover as mine jay - no reason to post on my side, but i will take a pic of the back cover later which is a black and white collage of spies... ;)
Detour,
I can't remember if the scans were included in this file now but it's a LoungeTracks rip and he always does but I may have left them out on the very early posts I did (like this one) But I have the cover available seperately on my Artwork Pages.
