From the Archives: Theme From Thunderball And Other Themes

Recommended music:

Today, from the Bond on Vinyl archives, we’re finally listening to Thunderball*!

This 1965 album of “sleepy” guitar surf rock by ‘Dan & Dale’ is pretty … cheesy. From the sticker stating “THIS IS NOT THE ORIGINAL [Thunderball] SOUND TRACK”, to a track titled ‘700 Theme’, to the liner notes stating that Dan plays electric guitar while Dale plays standard rhythm guitar, to, well, I think I heard accordions in the mix…

Anyways, there apparently was NO REAL ‘Dan & Dale’, but rather a studio band or possibly even a band named ‘The Blues Project’ that was forming around the same time using the pseudonym. Budget label or not, this is a weird way to experience Thunderball’s music.
