Ah, my own nerdy little area of trivia. From the Spy Bop Royale website if anyone's interested:

The Silencers" (1966) a score by Elmer Bernstein (LP only) with a couple of good vocals by Vicci Carr (who did the singing for Cyd Charisse in the film). Two versions of the vocal theme were released. A slower version can be found on the "Spy Magazine Presents Spy Music" CD on the Rhino label.

There is a second LP (also on CD now) for the Silencers, but it's mostly Dean Martin singing. There are a couple of instrumentals (alledgedly from the film) and a nice version of the theme.

The second in the series was "Murderers' Row" (1966). This time Lalo Schifrin provided a great spy score that's just begging for a CD release.

The next two flicks,"The Ambushers" (1967) and "The Wrecking Crew" (1969) were scored by Hugo Montenegro. The only tune released for "The Ambushers" (1967) was on the B side of a single from Boyce and Hart. It may be included on a Boyce and Hart CD.

If anyone has any other info, let me know!
