Lalo Schifrin, Barry Gray, Roy Budd, John Barry all on the same record? That's reason enough to check out this great compilation but there are many more gems included. "E.V.A" by Jean Jacques Perrey which will never get tired, there's "Theme From The Sweeney", the subterranean bass of "Theme From Whodunnit?", the swinging "Theme From The Champions" and ofcourse the legend that is "James Bond Theme". The final track is a remix of "Theme From The Professionals" by Blueboy.

It's probably a step above Disk 2 but put them both together and you've got an encyclopedic look at the best in television and film theme music from the 1960's and 70's. A must have for your collection.

Both Bullitt & Dirty Harry are great. Another great theme by Lalo Schifrin is St. Ives (starring Charles Bronson).

Ah yes, I remember getting this. It was from the late (and much lamented) Virgin Megastore in New Orleans in 98. Save for that annoying 4% time compression in track 5 (due to a PAL source,) this was a PERFECT themes collection.
