Secret Agent File - 1984

This 1984 rerelease of a 1960's compilation w/ Billy Strange, Neil Norman, Les Baxter, and Hall Daniels makes me appreciate how many times the world has been saved at the beach.

Alas, the reviews were not as good south of here. To quote this poor misled reviewer - "I was all ready to enjoy these 'blasts from the past.' Then they arrived, and what a let down! Only one of these cuts is an original, and that's 'Reilly, Ace of Spies' -- probably not what you bought the disc for. The others are covers, and don't sound like the unmistakable originals. So, be fore-warned. If you are looking for 'interpretations,' then go ahead. But if you are looking to purchase the real thing, you will need to go elsewhere."
