Recommended music:
Today, from the Bond on Vinyl archives, we’re back to listening to Dr. No, From Russia with Love, Goldfinger, and Thunderball!
This 1966 release features something called Phase 4 Stereo. It was supposed to sound immensely better than other vinyl recordings of the 1960s. While the sound quality is fine coming out of my speakers 50+ years later, the technology was phased out by the 1970s after only a couple of hundred releases.
As far as the actual music goes, it is quite easy listening featuring no vocals on the 12 tracks, five of which are themes from the first four Bond films. The quality of the orchestra is spot on, as even my teenager was humming along to John Barry’s theme from Goldfinger.
