George Mann Orchestra - Casino Royale

In a previous post, I ruminated a bit about the albums put out under the name of the George Mann Orchestra. These ultra-cheap LPs were likely the work of Los Angeles session musicians and Mann was almost certainly a ficticious name.

That said, Casino Royale, the album pictured above is a cut above the rest of the product put out under the George Mann name. Lots of groovy spy tunes, all originals too, with the exception of the title cut. The LP probably dates from 1967 or thereabouts.

Here's a link to a sample track.

Bottled in Bond



What I wrote in the previous post about downloads of George Mann material still applies. Unfortunately, Casino Royale, undoubtedly the best of the bunch, is not among those available for purchase. Best bet is probably to check those thrift store bins for the original LP.
