The Man From U.N.C.L.E. “Theme Song” b/w “The Vagabond” by the Gallants (l-r) Leo G. Carrol, Robert Vaughn (Napoleon Solo) and David McCallum (Illya Kuryakin) The series which ran on NBC stations from 1964 – 1968 included contributions from James Bond creator Ian Fleming, Robert Towne (Chinatown) and Sci-fi author Harlan Ellison. U.N.C.L.E. of course stands for the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement. U.N.C.L.E.’s archenemy was a vast organization known as THRUSH. The original series never explained what the acronym THRUSH stood for, but in several of the U.N.C.L.E. novels it was expanded as the Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity. THRUSH’s aim was to conquer the world. I learned about the cold war from watching TV like this. (I’ll post the equally awesome “Girl from U.N.C.L.E.” album soon)
