Buddy Wilkins - Private Eye

Always thought 'Harlem Rumble' has a police/sountrack feel to it?

One of my faves of that ilk is an instrumental by Les Baxter - Boomada (from Teen Drums LP), & makes a great text ringtone. It appeared on one of those wavy gravy type comps called Swing for a Crime & I seem to remember appeared in the film Wild at Heart

The Lost Generation - Your Mission (If You Decide To Accept It) - Innovation II

Mel Torme - Secret Agent Man - Columbia LP (Far superior to the Johnny Rivers)

Soul Bros. - James Bond Girl - Musik City

Gene Faith - (Call The FBI) My Baby's Missing - Virtue

John Holt - Police In Helicopter - Volcano (With Sirens and the immortal line 'we don't worry your bananas')

Guest Trevski

and not soul, but Johnny Rivers "Secret Agent Man" is one of my all time fave records.

Check Mel Torm's version, far better, IMHO

My personal fave, Johnny Dankworth Orch. "Theme from Modesty Blaise." :ohmy:

Miracles - Spy For Brotherhood

Amazingly, this record was banned as being insulting to the US Government Secret Services... :lol::lol:

Jewell and the Rubies - 'Kidnapper' - La Louisianne / ABC

is the one that lists loads of cop shows, secret agents, etc (also is a faster version by Bert Miller and the Swing Kings)

The Chants - Dick Tracy - Verve

loads of versions of Peter Gunn (and Skatalites 'Jet 707')

if just talking general police themed records then there's hundreds and hundreds of R&B and Jamaican ones...

another good theme i like is Western/cowboy stuff - a current favourite is an early 60s Eddie Singleton thing - Prince Eddie and David Gee 'Jessie James', much better than all that boring Shrine stuff biggrin.gif
