Roland Shaw James Bond in Action/Themes for Secret Agents

ROLAND SHAW FASHIONED QUITE A REPUTATION WITH HIS INSPIRED IMITATIONS OF THE JAMES BOND THEMES AND SIMILAR SOUNDTRACKS. IF ONE WANTED TO TOSS A SPY PARTY, MR. SHAW'S HYPNOTIC THEMES WOULD PROVE TO BE THE IDEAL PASSPORT. GOING BEYOND THE ACTUAL FILM THEMES, MR. SHAW OFFERED INTERPRETATIONS OF SPECIFIC SCENE THEMES, SUCH AS THE DAWN RAID OF FT. KNOX, CALYPSO (FROM DR.NO) TO THE MAJOR INSTRUMENTAL PIECES FROM THUNDERBALL, THE 1967 VERSION OF CASINO ROYALE TO OTHER SECRET AGENT-RELATED THEMES, SUCH AS THE SAINT, OUR MAN FLINT AND PETER GUNN. THESE ARE TWO SEPARATE COLLECTIONS, REMASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL LONDON RECORDS TRACKS. AN UNDENIABLE COLLECTORS ITEM FOR THE FILM-TELEVISION SOUNDTRACK DEVOTEES. MR. SHAW'S DEPICTION OF THE TURKISH-STYLED THEMES OF FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE ARE ANOTHER ADDED PLUS FOR THE COLLECTOR. COLLECTOR'S NOTE: LONDON RECORDS RELEASED SEVERAL ROLAND SHAW ALBUMS WITH THESE THEMES, BEGINNING IN 1965. WITH EACH NEW FILM, A NEW ALBUM WOULD APPEAR WITH NEW THEMES AND REISSUED TRACKS, CULMINATING IN A 1972 TWO-ALBUM SET SHOWCASING DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER AND SHAW'S NON-007 SPY THEMES. THESE ARE UNDENIABLE COLLECTORS ITEMS, ESPECIALLY WITH THEIR DYNAMIC, OFTEN OTHER-WORLDLY GRAPHICS AND VISUALS.
