Today, from the Bond on Vinyl archives, we’re going back to the 1960s and listening to music featured in From Russia with Love!
John Barry takes the reins as the main soundtrack composer for the first of his many memorable James Bond film scores. One track you may not remember from this soundtrack release is ‘James Bond with Bongos’ – which is precisely what you’d expect, the James Bond theme with the inclusion of some bongos, for a fun variation on the theme.
I grabbed this vinyl rerelease at the most recent Rocky Mountain Record Show; it originally came out sometime between 1968 and 1970, as far as I can tell from the orange and pink labels used by United Artists Records at the time. Besides being now released in full stereo, this version also differs from my original 1963 FRWL album, as it features a small “5” on the back cover. 😄
While this post was originally meant to be more of an April Fool’s joke, being posted six months before the next month-long slog of Bond on Vinyl posts, you only have to wait until tomorrow for more. 😁👍
