it's good but not amazing. the stand-out track is the ace version of 'modesty blaise' with the big break. not sure how much it goes for in the UK - 20-30 quid maybe? you don't often see it. mine's from new zealand.
I would guess slightly cheaper Ed. I paid £15 from the soundtrack shop in Bloomsbury the other year. I like it - 'Modesty Blaise' is good (I think the Gorillaz used it) as is 'Return From The Ashes'.
You freeking scientologists are all the same, quible, dribble and then demand ice creams. Ohhhhhhhhhhh.
Mine came from a booter and cost a quid, but it's the 'Modesty Blaise' & 'Return From the Ashes' that stand out, though I'd put a word in for the nice flutey/loungey theme from 'Look Stranger', too. That said, it's a fully listenable big band jazz LP - you don't get the plummet in quality from track to track you do on some LPs, and it's all nice enough stuff. Tracklist is as follows:
Theme:Modesty Blaise
Themearling
Theme: Morgan
Theme: Return From The Ashes
Theme: All Gone (from The Servant)
East St Louis Boogaloo
Round Table Round
Herbie Walks Again
Long John
Look Stranger (from BBC TV series Look Stranger)
Whirly Birly (from BBC TV series Bird's Eye View)
It's RCA SF 8405, and features Dankworth with Don Rendell, Alan Wakeman, Roger Cawkwell, Kenny Baker, Ronnie Verrall and lots of others...
