Marvin Hamlisch - Bond '77 - The James Bond Theme

Marvin Hamlisch
Bond '77 - The James Bond Theme / Ride To Atlantis
United Artists UP 36301 (1977)

Both tracks on this 45 are from the James Bond movie "The Spy Who Loved Me".

Released in 1977 featuring Roger Moore in the staring role. It was the 10th movie in the series and the 3rd to star Moore. A useless fact, the film took it's name from the 10th Ian Fleming novel in his James Bond series but the movie does not contain any elements of the novel's plot.

The theme song from the movie was Carly Simon singing "Nobody Does It Better".  Marvin Hamlisch composed the soundtrack for the movie.

Marvin was born in Manhattan in 1944 and was one of a handful of people to win Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards, a feat dubbed the "EGOT".  Along with composer Richard Rodgers he is one of the only people to have won those prizes and a Pulitzer Prize "PEGOT".

Vibravoid - Kraut Rock Sensation EP

Vibravoid Kraut Rock Sensation EP Fruits De Mer CRUSTACEAN 07 (2009) Another great slab of vinyl from the Fruits De Mer label featuring the band Vibravoid who hail from Dusseldorf, Germany. The original plan for the label was for long lost rock classics to be re-released however licensing the music was I assume very difficult and expensive so the label moved into having rare and classic rock being re-recorded as cover versions. This EP was a limited release of 300 copies so finding a copy these days is difficult.  On the EP the tracks being covered are: Kraftwerk's Ruckzuck  Amon Duul II's Eye Shaking King Can's Mother Sky Mashantra's Rauchkraut FLAC

Maureen Ryan - Better Use Your Head

Marion Ryan  (4 February 1931 – 15 January 1999)  was a popular British singer in the 50s & 60s, once called "the Marilyn Monroe of popular song".  Most of her output is referred to as run of the mill pop but the "A" side of a 1968 release, although not experiencing any chart success at the time, found acceptance during the 1970s on the Northern Soul dance scene. The flip is one of her many standard pop ballads, sung well, but nothing special. Philips BF 1721 FLAC
