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 exactly 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, which originally came out some time between 1968 and 1970, as far as I can tell based on the orange and pink labels used by United Artists Records at the time. Besides now being released in full stereo sound, this version also differs from my original 1963 FRWL album as it contains 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. 😁👍
