A-tom-ic Jones is the second Tom Jones album for Decca, and third overall, released in 1966. The title is a pun. Les Reed was credited as the musical director.

Due to concerns over alarming the record-buying public, it was released in the US with a different cover, removing the nuclear explosion in the background. The US version also discarded four tracks, in favor of his two hit theme songs "Thunderball" and "Promise Her Anything."

Reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic writes: "Given the quality of the record, its lack of success isn't surprising. Jones sings well, but he doesn't have the material to match his performance, making the album noticeably weaker than his first two collections."^[3]
