Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
James Bond themes tend to be just as memorable as their movie counterparts and, to a certain extent, just as time sensitive. While many fans can remember the Monty Norman Orchestra's steamy Dr. No theme or Shirley Bassey's "Goldfinger," how many of us remember Rita Coolidge's dated "All Time High" from Octopussy or A-Ha's theme from The Living Daylights? Yes, just as we all have our favorite Bonds, we all have our favorite eras of Bond movie music. But surprisingly, whether they're New Wave, soul, or just Euro-pop inspired, most are still worth hearing. There are some real gems on this compilation: On Her Majesty's Secret Service's "We Have All the Time in the World" by Louis Armstrong, the Thunderball theme sung by Tom Jones, and the spunky theme to The Man With the Golden Gun by Lulu. Just overlook those sporadic lean years and you have a pretty stiff soundtrack cocktail here. --Jason Verlinde

Format:Audio CD
There is perhaps no better way to start a James Bond CD than with the James Bond theme from Dr No, and this CD does exactly that. Over the next 60 minutes, the theme tunes from each bond up to The World is Not Enough are pumped through your stereo with the touch of class that only Bond himself posesses. All sound as good as the first time you heard them at the cinema during the opening credits, and although the songs aren't played in chronological order, its a minor point. With 22 songs being chosen from 19 Bond films, there are of course a few little bonuses, such as the cinema theme tune release from Goldeneye that was not previously released.
Overall this is a fantastic CD, which is unfortunately, already a little out of date, with Madonna's Die Another Day song just released, but dont let this put you off. Nowhere else will you find so many great songs from the Bond films in one compact disc, from Moby's remix of the theme tune, to the orignal Bond theme tune, Sheryl Crow to Shirley Bassey, this CD is a must for any James Bond enthusiast.

If you have a decent CD player in your car, then put this on at full blast! This is, of course, a really blokey thing but if you get the first track at full volume on the stereo, you really do feel feel that you are driving that James Bond Aston Martin/Lotus/BMW/Aston Martin and can impress the woman in your life even if you have a Fiat Punto!!!!!!
Just to say that this is the most definitive "Bond" album to listen to at a very reasonable price (I bought this driving from Kent to Glasgow last year & loved it!) and you get all the classics.
I hope you enjoy James as much as I do & this album transports me to all those films that I watched when I was young. Oh gosh, I want to be a spy for the British Government...................

Here the beauty of John Barry's work & et al. This is simply as good as it gets for Bond Music. There are a lot of Bond compilations out there, many not to the original works.
If you are looking for a collection of the TRUE Bond themes this is THE ONE!

Excellent.
I presume that 'Dr. No' was the 1st Bond film? Im not sure but I presume so because there is no theme song on here for 'Dr. No', only the 'James Bond Theme'. Read more
