Temptation ... LP London/Phase 4, 1962. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $1.99
An array of lush strings and vocal chorus work – all underpinned by a tighter jazz-based groove – in a style that's full and rich, but also surprisingly swinging, and with some nice horn work that often peeks out beneath the strings, and gives the tracks a cooler edge!

John Barry —
John Barry Plays Goldfinger ... LP United Artists, Mid 60s. Very Good ... $5.99
Hard to tell if these are new versions of songs, or simply ones lifted from Barry's UA soundtracks – but from the notes and the music, the album seems to be a unique one.

Henry Mancini —
Latin Sound Of Henry Mancini ... LP RCA, 1965. Very Good+ ... $1.99
The Latin sound is a groovy sound too – thanks to some great arrangements from the legendary Henry Mancini!

Roland Shaw —
Themes For Secret Agents ... LP London/Phase 4, Mid 60s. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $3.99

Dot, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $0.99

Capitol, Early 60s. Very Good- ... $3.99
Not as all-out exotic as some of Les' earlier Capitol albums, but still pretty darn great!

Capitol, Late 50s. Very Good+ ... $5.99
Dreamy work from Les Baxter – featuring his chorus and orchestra over string-heavy arrangements that match the midnight sea setting on the cover.

Capitol, 1969. Very Good+ ... $1.99
A record that's definitely after our own heart – in case you couldn't tell from the title!

Cadet, Late 60s. Very Good- ... $5.99
Given that the Soulful Strings were really just a studio side project of the Chi soul arranger Richard Evans, it seems sort of strange to have them cut a live LP, but the session, recorded at Chicago's London House, works quite well, and has a bit more lively feel than some of their classic studio ...

Capitol, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $4.99
Great work from Shearing – gently Latin, in a mode that mixes his jazzy piano with percussion and flute, dancing around in a simple but strong approach to the material.

A&M, 1967. Very Good ... $4.99
Sounds like Herb Alpert, but it grooves in ways that we hardly expected – playful, creative, and filled with so many more rhythms than just the Tijuana groove we might have thought!

Capitol, 1957. Very Good ... $1.99
A killer album from Johnny Richards – possibly the best he ever cut!
