All the John Barry scores are great. Shirley Bassey's Goldfinger and the From Russia With Love are two of my favorites. Also, no self-respecting Bond fan/audiophile can be without the soundtrack of Casino Royale, which is still to this day considered one of the best engineered sound recordings in history, for very good reasons. The original release, that is, which I was lucky enough to have found in a bookstore once for almost nothing. I have seen it for $80 in a catalog, and that was probably ten years ago now.
Which James Bond Theme Recording
I can’t remember whose “system” I was looking at here on AGon, but that particular member created his site with audio capabilities. One of the songs being played at this member’s “site” was a version of the James Bond Theme. It would be great to know what that particular version is, but I am also interested in knowing what other members feel are great JB performances/recordings.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I have soundtracks Diamonds Are Forever, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and You Only Live Twice. Great stuff. It's through the the Bond films that I got turned on to Shirley Bassey. She is incredible! My favorite live version of Goldfinger: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51Wg6k9cWhM |
