Columbia UK soundtrack to the 1960 British film “Beat Girl”

The title character is played by starlet Gillian Hills, who later went on to have numerous small roles in 1960s and 1970s films, such as Blowup and A Clockwork Orange.

The music was done by a seven-player group of John Barry, composer of James Bond fame. The film also features Christopher Lee as a strip-joint operator, and the film debuts of Adam Faith and Peter McEnery.

Royale with cheese

Aside from being a cool 60’s soundtrack with great art, this recording was picked up by audiophiles about 20 years ago as having exemplary stereo sound. It was highly collectible – only the Stereo version — during the lp era’s last gasp.

Cold Warriors

544126633_de3a652123.jpg

“The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” (And Other TV Themes). David McCallum (l) and Robert Vaughn (r), the stars of the hit sixties tv spy series “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” The show ran for four seasons (1964-68). A spin-off, “The Girl from U.N.C.L.E.” aired one season (1966) and starred Stephanie Powers. I just learned (or was reminded) that the acronym stands for “United Network Command for Law and Enforcement.”! Cool.
