half.com has some copies, but they are not cheap. Amazon.com has some, but again, $$$. Found the LP on eBay (Item number: 4710945835) and gemm.com (GEMM Reference #GML758155795). Good luck--it's a great soundtrack!

whoa-ho, chickflick u so weren't kidding about that amazon price! jeez....
it would be nice to have RON GRAINER's original score, but if it's THE MINDBENDERS u're more after, there are cheaper ways to get it - there are a coupla WAYNE FONTANA & THE MINDBENDERS collections that contain "off and running" and "it's getting harder all the time"; the 20th century masters disc is only 10 bucks on amazon (11 tunes)....a better but more expensive comp is THE BEST OF, which has 20 tunes.....
the LULU song "stealing my love from me" is on another soundtrack, from a more recent film called THE ANNIVERSARY PARTY....it's probably available on a LULU disc or 2 as well....
The mention of Ron Grainer prompts me to ask a question about a theme tune of his in the late 1960s. As far as I can tell it was called 'Detective' and was from a TV series. I can't find anything on IMDb about such a series. But wherever this piece of Ron Grainer music is hiding it's a great piece which really ought to be available.
shareI've come back on here to say that I have found the 'Detective' TV series I was looking for. The Ron Grainer music was used for the 3rd series which ran from September to November 1969. But Ron Grainer is not credited on IMDb because the 3rd series has been lost. The music is on an old RCA Camden vinyl LP called 'Themes Like' By Ron Grainer. It's titled 'Detective' (Side 2 Track 4).

I hope this helps!!
The original UK soundtrack album (on the Fontana label) is quite a collectors item now, with mint stereo copies selling for well over £70. I have both the stereo and mono copies and to be honest the mono version has a better sounding mix - especially on Ron Grainer's brilliant instrumentals.
Interestingly the soundtrack also features Lulu's (Mickie Most-produced) hit single version of the title track (together with 2 other vocal versions) - despite the fact that it wasn't used in the film!
you can find it's getting harder, off and running and to sir with love all on itunes. not the same as an album, i know, but at least it's something!
