Recommended music:
Today, from the Bond on Vinyl archives, we’re still listening to Dr. No, From Russia with Love, Goldfinger, and Thunderball!
This 1966 release also features the previously mentioned Phase 4 Stereo, and yes, the audio quality is pretty sharp. The recording itself features English composer Stanley Black leading the London Festival Orchestra (and Chorus), which was created as the ‘house orchestra’ for Decca Records in the 1950s. Not to be confused with the London Symphony Orchestra, established in 1904 and famous for many John Williams film scores.
The album kicks off with an incredibly unique James Bond medley of Bond themes through Thunderball, which reminds me of vintage beer commercial jingles for some reason. The album cover does not mention the James Bond Theme. However, the first two and a half minutes feature this original Bond theme before jumping into Thunderball. The next tracks segue into Mary Poppins, and The Sound of Music – quite the mix.
