Summary: this is good...really good
Comment: Though not complete, this disc has a wonderful selection of Bond favorites, and it's a treat to have
so many of the songs, in their original form, on one disc. Some of the songs and performances may be
a little weak or not to everyone's liking, but taken as a whole, it is remarkable how much great
music 007 has spawned, from track # 1, the Bond theme from "Dr. No" in 1963, to "The World is Not
Enough" in 1999.
The highlights for me are:
"From Russia With Love", sung by Matt Monro.
Monro's rendition is heavenly, and melodically this is my # 1 Bond song.
"Thunderball" sung by
Tom Jones is a knock-out and "Goldeneye" with Tina Turner is equally strong.
Shirley Bassey has
the voice I love to hate, and her unique, shrill power is so perfect for "Goldfinger", as well at
the two other cuts she sings.
"The Living Daylights" by A-HA, "License to Kill" by Gladys Knight,
Sheryl Crow's "Tomorrow Never Dies", and "The World is Not Enough" by Garbage are other choice
numbers.

Bond fans will really appreciate this collection of thirty-five years of innovative "spy
tunes". John Barry started it all, and his genius is one of the best things to happen to film music,
and continues to be a huge influence. With an informative booklet insert on the films and the songs,
the sound is excellent and total time is 71'25.

Summary: Listen, You've Got To Listen !
Comment: Apart from nearly everyone on the planet knowing the Title Song to each film, the musical
arrangements to each are well worth listening out for. A pair of headphones to isolate you from
backround noise is required to appreciate the work of these musicians. Don't just hear these theme
tunes LISTEN to them.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Excellent.
Comment: 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'. The only other flaw on this album is
that it doesn't feature that brilliant song by 'K.D. Lang' 'Surrender' featured at the end of
'Tomorrow Never Dies'. Other than that it has all the themes and a couple of bonuses.

Summary: Bond Hits An All Time High
Comment: This is a must for any James Bond fan it has all the great theme songs on.

From Goldfinger to
Goldeneye

From OHMSS to Tommorow Never Dies

From Matt Munro to Garbage

From Sherly Bassie to
Moby

There all here. ALL 20 Movie themes plus two remixs of the Bond Theme. The Goldeneye Trailer
Version (Previosly unrlessed) And Mobys fantastic remix (Tommorow Never Dies)

Another good point
is that the appaling Die Another Day was relesed after this CD so Bond fans are spared that
monstrosuty.
Although I wish they had put the alternetive Thunderball theme song "Mr Kiss Kiss,
Bang Bang" by Dionne Warwick on as well the other fetuers of this CD more then make up for this one
small laps.

Customer Rating:

Summary: You need this CD!
Comment: This is THE CD that all Bond Fans must have. Every single Bond them song is included (apart from Die
another Day) and there are extras such as "we have all the tim in the world" from On her majestys
secret sevice, the Goldeneye trailer theme (never before released) and the Tomorrow Never Dies Bond
theme re-mix.

All of the classics are there from Goldinger, to Nobody does it better 9the spy who
loved me) right up to the moderns like Goldeneye and The world is not enough.

Although the songs
are not in order, that is easily done with a CD player. Also included is a booklet all about the
films and the songs they had. The CD comes ina case with a golden box to protect it.

All in all a
great Bond buy.
