Theme From The Chase
Thunderball
Bobby Byrne And His Orchestra
Command Records RS 894 SD
Originated and produced by Loren Becker, Robert Byrne and Julie Klages.
Another fun Command album. You can hardly go wrong with the Command label. Even though this album was released after ABC got their hands on the label and the quality declined rapidly according to Enoch Light's wiki page. The engineering was always top notch and much of the music Command put out during this period, is groovy, silly or depending on your tastes cool light pop. This a great record with a fab 60s musical groove.
The cover was art directed by Charles E. Murphy, a designer who basically created the Command brand with his graphically bold cover images.
Byrne is mentioned in a 1968 Billboard article as the A&R Director for Command, so I think he was probably on the Command payroll. Loren Becker is mentioned as Command's VP.
I actually didn't like the first clip. I LOVED Thunderball, though!!! Definitely NOT a gem for Command!!
