Today, from the Bond on Vinyl archives, we’re still going with Goldfinger!
This album caught my eye at an antique store a few years back. You’ll notice the “Goldfinger” in giant letters on the front as that soundtrack is still the only Bond score to top the US album charts, so it looks like record companies took advantage of the name however they could.
Besides a unique version of ‘The James Bond Theme’, ‘From Russia With Love’, and ‘Goldfinger’, the album features jazzy covers of mostly other people’s songs. Barry gets a writing credit on only four of the 12 tracks (not including Monty Norman taking sole credit on the James Bond Theme). Before becoming a master of movie scores, Barry did his own take on ‘Blueberry Hill’ and ‘Spanish Harlem,’ which were still popular songs at the time.
