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 Rissue of the only official Bond music compilation, with 3 new songs, including a previously unrelea sed version of the James Bond Theme, in conjunctio n with 40th Anniversary of the Bond film franchise 20th Bond film, "Die Another Day," in theatres Nov. 22. Review: everything I had both wanted and expected - I am thoroughly satisfied with this CD--it is everything I had both wanted and expected. Its premise is simple: get all the theme songs from the James Bond films on one disc. This is a quote-unquote official release, so it neglects "Never Say Never Again," and the unofficial odd-jobs associated with 007. Although it was released in 2002, for some reason it lacks the Razzie-winning "Die Another Day," which was released that year. And since it was released in 2002, don't expect to find "You know My Name" from "Casino Royale." This collection definitely gets Five Stars for including "We Have All the Time In The World." Since this was in Lazenby's solo, we seldom hear it; yet it is one of the best songs to come out of the franchise. Like I said, this CD is everything I expected, down to the liner notes. I have only two criticisms. First, the songs are not chronological, so we miss the evolution from the early brassy Rat Pack themes to the toned-down anthems epitomized by "For Your Eyes Only" and then on to the techno/hip-hop lite of the later films. Arraigned the way they are, you get a better overall presentation. Either way you arrange the tracks, you will always have shuffle. The second is more of a criticism of the franchise as opposed to the CD (have I mentioned how well I liked the product?). Included are two remixes of the James Bond Dr. No Theme--from Moby and Parodi/Fair. Now a remix by definition is just the same music with an underlaying drum machine, and it is done solely to be played at dance clubs and those annoying subwoofers on wheels--and nothing more. I think this was done to keep up the gala spirit of the film, and also to revamp the franchise for younger audiences The problem is that there was nothing wrong with the franchise--the six year hiatus was due to a legal quagmire and the geopolitical shake up associated with the end of the Cold War. So doing remixes like these really do not contribute to the Bond experience. Personally, I thought they were both condescending and obvious. (Then again, where else would you put them?) So other than these two critiques, I happily recommend this disc for the Bond fan, and for the pleasant memories this music will bring. Review: THE Best of Bond - The best of Bond- and it sure is. All the opening theme songs to most the James Bond movies are here! Great songs performed by some of the best performers, and all are true classics! Of course this collection wouldn't be complete without John Barry's original "James Bond Theme" which is one of the most recognized songs in movie history. As you listen through this entire album, you can truly appreciate the music from each decade and hear how the James Bond songs have evolved over the decades. My Faves: Both John Barry's works (the Dr.No original and On Her Majesty's Secret Service), For Your Eyes Only, GoldenEye, The Living Daylights, The World is Not Enough, Diamonds are Forever, Nobody Does it Better, Live & Let Die, & A View to a Kill (Being a fan of Duran Duran of course a fave!) One Downside: Just missed Madonna's "Die Another Day." Recommended for every Bond fan out there. Even if you're not a Bond fan, I'm sure there is a song or two you may have heard that you liked. Get it! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00006I0BO | | Best Sellers Rank | #34,278 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #293 in Movie Scores (CDs & Vinyl) #367 in New Wave #740 in Soft Rock (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (432) | | Date First Available | December 7, 2006 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 724354055423 | | Label | Emi Europe Generic | | Language | Arabic, Danish, English, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, Thai, Turkish | | Manufacturer | Emi Europe Generic | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2002 | | Product Dimensions | 5.08 x 5.71 x 0.39 inches; 3.88 ounces | ## Images ![Best of Bond James Bond / Various - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/614E9l0yBXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ everything I had both wanted and expected *by K***R on March 12, 2007* I am thoroughly satisfied with this CD--it is everything I had both wanted and expected.

Get it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bond...musical Bond... *by R***D on May 20, 2014* The musical compositions have long since defined the James Bond movie franchise. This CD is one more good example, chock full of memorable songs and solid vocal performances. From the stellar vocals of Shirley Bassey's "Goldfinger" to Wings' frenzied "Live & Let Die" to Duran Duran's lean mean 80's rocker "View to a Kill", it's all here. Even the lesser known ones--Lulu's "Man with the Golden Gun", Nancy Sinatra's outstandingly beautiful "You Only Live Twice", and Gladys Knight's powerful "License to Kill"--are worth the listen. The rare gems here, in my opinion, both happen to come from the same film: the wonderful ballad "We Have All the Time in the World" by Louis Armstrong and the stand-alone instrumental theme song "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". All the songs and music artists simply deliver. A terrific music collection, with more music to come as the movies continue! ## Frequently Bought Together - Best of Bond James Bond / Various - The Best Of Bond...James Bond - The Best Of James Bond: 30th Anniversary Collection --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/15402639-best-of-bond-james-bond-various](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/15402639-best-of-bond-james-bond-various) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
