Today, from the Bond on Vinyl archives, we’re listening to From Russia with Love and Thunderball!
This 1966 album is billed as Jazz-funk. However, it is decidedly less funky than my other recent selections from the same period. Featuring soulful covers of ‘Thunderball’ and ‘From Russia with Love’, the other eight tracks were far less appealing to me, as I am not very familiar with their themes.
I’m not saying this record won’t get a spin on my turntable again, but there are just so many other albums that do it better. Despite the name, the ‘Jazz All-Stars’ were short-lived, with just a handful of albums released in the 60s.
