Columbia Special Products Presents ...
Yep, in the golden age of the tie-in, Columbia Special Products produced this far-ranging conglomeration of various Columbia signees in "spy mode."
You can call it cheese ... you can call it silly ... or you can call it AWESOME!
1) Percy Faith - Thunderball
2) Mel Tormé - Secret Agent Man
3) Village Stompers - From Russia With Love
4) John Barry - The James Bond Theme
5) David Lloyd - 007
6) Bobby Vinton - Goldfinger
7) John Barry - Ipcress File
8) Ray Conniff - Third Man Theme
9) David Lloyd - On Her Majesty's Secret Service
10) Orchestra U.S.A. - The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Yep, Track 2 is the Velvet Fog himself singing a tune for John Drake the Danger Man. And perpetual Chipmunk-soundalike Bobby Vinton singing "Goldfinger" is about as sinister as a pair of cotton-candy handcuffs.
OK, I'll call it "cheesy" too. But don't say it's not http://yadi.sk/d/-xhQUvCZD46CN
See you Monday!
whoa! Love the Bobby Vinton--thanks!
