Comment:

While listening to the Metrolites new album, I was reminded just how many great spy themed songs there are... Many of these songs will be familiar, but these are interesting versions in their own right, and I had to include loads of Al Caiola, surely the master of spy music.

Incidentally, how many versions of Goldfinger is too many - I found I had 6, and i don't even have the Shirley Bassey version (& what about 5 Peter Gunns?). I'm sure someone can beat that though...

& by the way, this compilation is missing Man or Astromans "Mission into Chaos" & "Return to Chaos" - I'd be very interested in trading something for those tracks...

Cool theme. Johnny River's Secret Agent Man pops into mind right away.

Nice! I used the Webb Wilder version of Goldfinger and Roy Buchanan's cover of Peter Gunn on my Planet of the Surf Spies mix. But I don't have the Count Basie or Al Caiola. Interested in a trade?

Looks slick. I have both FLWB & Lally's spy mixes... Any chance I could trade you something for this?
