4.0 out of 5 stars john barry
Would have been better if Nancy Sinatra's version was added, but still a good reflection on Barry's work and you probably won't want many others.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of John Barry's best
This soundtrack has to be one of John Barry's best soundtracks. The use of a synthesizer and electric drums in the music makes it unique to all the other bond soundtracks. Read the full review
