She Thought I Was Joking

[mbarrick]

So valerian is sitting by me, with _jazz_ in her lap, expanding her Evil eBay Empire and mentions that she has the theme to "The Rockford Files" stuck in her head for no reason.

"We have that on a record," I mention, and proceed to pull out this gem:


Side One:
Octopussy
I Spy
Reilly: Ace of Spies
Casino Royale
Ipcress File (A Man Alone)
Thunderball
Man From UNCLE
The Prisoner
The James Bond Theme

Side Two:
Our Man Flint
Moonraker
The Spy Who Came In From The Cold
Run Spy Run
Get Smart
You Only Live Twice
007
Goldfinger
The Rockford Files

All in instrumental glory by random studio musicians. Pressed in 1984 and bought used in 1986 from Lyle's Place on Yates Street in Victoria for the princely sum of $6.95.


Any questioning of the obscure random crap in my record collection will result in Bill Cosby busting a cap in your ass. Hiding behind a tennis racket won't save you. (This image is on the back of the record jacket, BTW.)

I love secret agent stuff.... :) and somewhere in my files I've got an autographed 8x10 of Don Adams :D

I lust for your LP tho. What a find!

I'd like to borrow the LP & to a Vinyl-to-CD transfer. W/ an exchange of collteral for the duration of course.

But I'm stealing the Cosby Icon. Priceless!

The icon is made for stealing. Go for it.

Is there any chance I could distract Bill Cosby with Jello Puddin' snacks whilst commenting on the randomness of this situation? No? Thought not.

LOL! Not entirely random - I was printing out a shipping label to a customer actually located in Rockford, IL which is why I somehow got the theme stuck in my head. And like any song that gets stuck in your head, the best way to get rid of it is to just give in and listen to the whole thing through. I happen to kinda like the theme, but imagine my hilarity when Mike told me he actually HAD IN ON VINYL! Ah, someone as nutbar as me. Must be love.
:P
