No idea about the 60s release - but I'm looking forward to seeing whatever it ends up being. I'd love "A Patch of Blue," but wasn't Intrada's CD release the complete score? That said, someone please reissue "A Patch of Blue." But more 60s music is always cause for celebration, so I'll be eagerly awaiting the announcement.
As for the spy score, I'm actually going to go ahead and guess that it's Christopher Young's music for "Swordfish." The commercial album only had two score cuts, and I remember it being highly praised in Film Score Monthly as a great Bond-style score. While there was the Intrada promo long ago, I don't recall Roger's clues mentioning their existence all that often. Add to that Intrada's longstanding relationship with the magnificent Mr. Young, and I think it seems like a likely candidate.

Swordfish is not a movie about secret agents, though. So it doesn't fit.

Ah. See, I read the clue as describing the music itself as being in the "cool secret agent" mold - and not necessarily the specifics of the film's narrative. Having never seen "Swordfish," I always thought it was a sequel to "Horsefeathers" (where the password is "Swordfish"), so I had no idea about the plot specifics - thanks for the clarification. But! I do remember everyone wishing that Christopher Young would score a Bond picture after this score came out. Anyway, just my guess.

Walk don't Run (1966) by Quincy Jones ?
It has to be because I ordered the Mainstream CD about two weeks ago

Check out his very good (and either very out of print or very cheaply had) score for
ENTRAPMENT for some Bond-ian leanings. Its in the same vein as T. Newman's Bond scores,
sleek percussion and a cool-tempered love theme, as well as ethnic transition cues. And the
unexpected temp appearance of Goldsmith's ALIEN.....
THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO LITTLE has the flip side of fun spy music, very nice album that, good Barry-esque (dig the cue titles) love music and again, with the sneaky percussion. More jazz on this than the former.

The Man Who Knew Too Little is one of the first soundtracks CDs I owned, and I was very happy to have Christopher Young sign it for me the other year at Peter Hackman's Fans of Film Music event at Young's house.

I wish the secret agent score was Johnny English but that did have a few score tracks on it.

Oh, I love "Entrapment" - probably one of my favorite Young scores.
I've heard wonderful things about his "Man Who Knew Too Little" score, but have yet to pick up the album. It's on my list, though. And I do really love Young's work when he's in jazz territory ("Shade" gets a lot of play around here).
