From your selection, The Ipcress File is my favorite.
"If you want to see an example of what music does for a movie, go and see The Ipcress File. Then you'll understand what John Barry's all about." (Michael Caine)
A good selection indeed! I also like the lighter fun jazzy scores to THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. and the Derek Flint films, originally by Jerry Goldsmith and all nicely out on CD.
That arrangement of the U.N.C.L.E. theme, although credited to Nelson Riddle, was in fact by Gerald Fried, who was the most prolific composer on the series and came back to compose the score for "The Fifteen Years Later Affair". However, apparently the producers did not like Riddle's score at all - it sounded too like his work for BATMAN which he was working on at the time - and he was given a rocket and never hired for U.N.C.L.E. again.
This is the unused opening of The World is Not Enough, sung by Scott Walker.
