Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The third film in the James Bond series was the one that transformed 007 into a pop-cultural phenomenon (and turned Sean Connery into a star). It also set the tone for every Bond soundtrack to follow, featuring a huge title pop hit (which introduced the extraordinary Shirley Bassey--long a superstar in England--to worldwide audiences) and, of course, John Barry's loud, brassy instrumentals, some close enough to pass for rock & roll. The wonderful "James Bond Theme" had been used in the first two flicks, but never this predominantly. Barry genuinely builds suspense, tension, and mystery within his sounds--and, along with McCartney's "Live and Let Die", the title song remains the best (and definitely the most haunting) of all the Bond-based title tunes. (You were going to suggest "A View to a Kill", perhaps?) In fact, after reaching No. 1 on the LP charts for three weeks in 1965, this went on to have such a pop-cultural effect that the Beatles would borrow the "James Bond Theme" for the intro to their own Help! while years later, the postpunk band Magazine would score a huge British hit with a cool cover of "Goldfinger". Simply the best Bond all the way around. --Bill Holdship
