Don't know whether this was mentioned on the list before.
A couple of weeks ago
Mission: Impossible ... and more!
The best of Lalo Shifrin (1962-1972)
was released over here (in Germany that is).

Apart from the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE theme (Lalo's own version plus one
by Jimmy Smith) there is a whole bag of essentials including two
tracks from the BULLITT soundtrack (the main theme plus the one which
was used for the famous chase scene), a mad uptempo version of the
DIRTY HARRY theme (only available on 7" so far if you belive the
liner notes), THE MAN FROM THRUSH (a monster track from the U.N.K.L.E.
tv series) and Lalo's own version of THE CAT. There are also a couple of
bossas, two unreleased tracks and more from the Mission: Impossible
soundtracks including the original version of DANUBE INCIDENT which
was sampled by Portishead for their Sour Times / To Kill A Dead Man.
Easy Listening with a twist.

It was released on Motor Music (http:\\www.motor.de).
