RED HOT records was founded in New Mexico. Their website (http://www.redhotrecords.net) doesn't seem to be active anymore.
I listened to samples of this album and I can confirm that those are re-recordings.

Myself, I would suggest tracking down a better compilation album, if that is what you're after.

Thanks - were did you hear the samples?

Maybe it is the same as the CBS/Columbia album:

Yep, these are re-recordings indeed. If you want it anyway, you can buy it quite cheap at
Amazon.de.

Hi Arne,

I think this is one of many compilations available of Mr. Barry's 1960's CBS/Columbia recordings. When David (Coma) states they are re-recordings I presume he means they are not the OST recordings.

I think this maybe the same collection/sequence as a vinyl LP I bought back in the late 70s ... only to find that the first track was in fact Capsule In Space (Space March) not Thunderball, as named.

I have a similar compilation up for sale presently on eBay:
Ref. Item No.: 160205310730

If you want any further info, drop me an email.

Best wishes,
Mitch.
