Underworld, Reg Guest Syndicate (1966)
Pianist, arranger and music director Reg Guest (aka Earl Guest) was Born in Birmingham, England. His album Underworld contains covers of crime/spy/drama themes: “The great Reg Guest captured that inimitable late-60s sound with some irresistible instrumentals which are covers of famous James Bond themes and so on. It was recorded circa 1967 and first released in England on the Fontana label. Instruments used here include an inconceivable 12-string electric bass guitar. An unforgettable sound.”
