JOHN BARRY PLAYS FILM & TV THEMES

Another very nice album from the LoungeTracks archive now with this great John Barry LP. This one features some nice alternate arrangements of From Russia With Love and The 007 theme. Also featured are the atmospheric classic "Fancy Dance" and the grrovy "Kinky" along with several others. A great Barry collection by anyones standard.

THE IPCRESS FILE (MONO)

Although this has been featured previously on the site, here we have the Mono pressing of this classic soundtrack. Not much to say about it as I'm sure everyone knows it by now. Barry in one-channel is better then most other composers in two!

MUSIC FROM 77 SUNSET STRIP

A great LP from 1959 courtesy of the archives of LoungeTracks. This is old school crime jazz from the days when jazz was "in" baby! This original mono pressing has the Aaron Bell Orchestra playing it straight down the middle (sorry!) The cover informs us that the orchestra is in fact a well-known bunch of players, including, Eddie Costa, Ray Bryant, Oliver Jackson, Seldon Powell and Kenny Burrell with the fore mentioned Aaron Bell on Bass. So grab a copy and settle down for some smooth swinging crime jazz.

THEMES FROM JAMES BOND THRILLERS - VOL.3

Third times a charm! Again our fellow agent (with a shelf bending under the weight of crime vinyl) LoungeTracks completes the long wanted Roland Shaw Bond trilogy. The third in the series recorded way back when cover versions were cool, this is another high-octane collection of full-on, kick-ass orchestral masterpieces from one of the best in the business!
The first two volumes can be found in our archives

FFROM HASKELL WITH LOVE

Thanks to isbum for scouring the vinyl bins to find this pretty rare little treasure. Jimmy Haskell and his Orchestra play some great movie themes, and even though they're not all from the crime/spy genre, it's still a treat to feature the album here on the lounge.
