Hugo Montenegro - Original Music From The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1965)

I loved U.N.C.L.E. from the very first time I saw it in the early 70s.  I recently splashed out a small fortune on the complete DVD box set thing and have been driving my wife mad watching episode upon episode.  The soundtrack is fantastic too and here it is.

Girl In A Suitcase (CD, 2009)

Now, I've never posted a CD and I probably won't  post another (apart from maybe the companion CD to this, Watch With Teacher), but this CD is now unfortunately out of print and a couple of people have contacted me to see if I have it.  Yes, I do!

Many people my age in the UK (mid forties) will certainly recognise many of these tracks, they're simply fantastic.  Beg, steal or borrow a copy of this if you can, because it really is an exceptional CD.
