Ennio Morricone - A Fistful Of Dollars and For A Few Dollars More (1968)




















One of the ways I like to pass my time is listening to Titoli while our cat and the one next door stare each other out on our garden wall.  "We can fight!"

Nelson Riddle - The Contemporary Sound Of... (1968)





































One of my favourite Nelson Riddle albums this.  Some great takes on Light My Fire and Gentle On My Mind and a storming Stoned Soul Picnic.  Here are the UK and US sleeves.

Barry Gray - Space 1999 - Original Television Soundtrack (1976)




















Another gem from Barry Gray, the soundtrack to Season One of Space 1999.  Gray only scored the first season and then dropped out for the second series.  This ended a long-run of soundtracks Gray had done for Gerry Anderson including classics such as Fireball XL5, Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90 and UFO.

Apart from the main titles there are some corkers on here, particularly Black Sun and Death's Other Dominion.  Genius!

Don Tracy - A Night With The Voodoo Family (1965)




















A wonderful Studio 2 oddity, co-written and produced by the great Brian Fahey.  Lovely stuff.

Arthur Smith - Original Guitar Boogie (1974)





















Not usually a fan of guitar albums, but this is on Rediffusion.  Some nice tracks on here.
