The Best of James Bond 30th Anniversary [Soundtrack] [Limited Edition]

Amazon.com
Released in 1992 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the release of Dr. No, this two-disc set still stands as the ultimate Bond music collection. Disc one includes all of the hit songs from the Bond films, including Shirley Bassey's "Goldfinger," Tom Jones's "Thunderball," Paul McCartney & Wings' "Live & Let Die" and Sheena Easton's "For Your Eyes Only." Disc two includes Louis Armstrong's lovely "We Have All the Time in the World," as well as a nice collection of rarities (Anthony Newley's demo of "Goldfinger"), lesser-known orchestral cuts from Goldfinger and Thunderball, and radio ads for You Only Live Twice, Thunderball, and Live & Let Die. The perfect accompaniment for a martini built for two. Shaken not stirred, of course! --Dan Epstein

007 forever and ever.......2007-05-13

whether played by Sean CONNERY, Roger MOORE, George LAZENBY, Timothy DALTON, Pierce BROSNAN, Daniel CRAIG, or even by David NIVEN in the sixsties comedy 007 CASINO' ROYALE (1967), James BOND is the greatest spy ever!!! So it's his music!!!!

The Best of James Bond 30th Anniversary.......2007-02-11

Wonderful music, an enjoyment for any James Bond fan.

Good effort..........2007-02-09

The 1st cd is the most enjoyable (vocal track's)...the 2nd start's out listenable and then seem's to bog down with very repetative formula's.

A CD No James Bond Fan Should Be Without........2007-01-13

As someone who has been a huge James Bond since before he could walk, you can bet I love every aspect of the films, including the music. Many of the theme songs to the films are classics, while the ones that have slipped under the radar remain awesome underrated numbers.

In 1992, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of 1962's "Dr. No", the 2 cd "The Best Of James Bond" was released. Itr included all the theme songs for the movies from 1962's "Dr. No" up to 1989's "License To Kill", as well as a second disc of rarities.

This is an excellent compilation that all 007 fans must have in their collection. You get all the classic Bond themes, such as Shirley Bassey's "Goldfinger", Paul McCartney & Wings' "Live And Let Die", Carly Simon's "Nobody Does It Better", Sheena Easton's "For Your Eyes Only", and Duran Duran'a "A View To A Kill", as well as some lesser heard but equally great songs, such as Nancy Sinatra's luscious theme for "You Only Live Twice", Bassey's sexy rendering of "Diamonds Are Forever" and her mysterious, sweet "Moonraker", Lulu's thrilling "The Man With The Golden Gun", Rita Coolidge's glorious "All Time High", and a-ha's excellent "The Living Daylights". There are a few rough spots (Tom Jones' over the top "Thunderball" and Gladys Knight's awful "License To Kill"), but other than that, it's a nearly flawless compilation.

The second disc is a great treat for hardcore Bond fans. For starters, you get several radio spots for "You Only Live Twice", "Thunderball" and "Live And Let Die", some great instrumental scores, two different recordings of the scrapped "Thunderball" theme song "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" (sung by Dionne Warwick and Shirley Bassey, respectively), Anthony Newley's boring but coll to have early demo of "Goldfinger", and best of all, Louis Armstrong's absolutely beautiful "We Have All The Time In The World", one of the loveliest songs in music.

It's true that there were Bond films made after 1992 (five to be exact). But as far as their theme songs go, only Tina Turner's theme for "Goldeneye" and Chris Cornell's "You Know My Name" (from the recent "Casino Royale"), are worth having. My advice is to get this excellent two cd and download the 2 later numnbers. Then, you will truly have all the best of James Bond.

If you like the movies, you'll like the music.......2006-08-27

Bought this as a gift for my son who loves James Bond & has all the DVD's. He loved it.

Customer Reviews:

Nice set, though strangely arranged.......2006-07-30

Released in 1992, this has themes from each of the Bonds up thru 1989's License To Kill. (So nothing from any of the Pierce Brosnan films.) What's great about this collection is its completeness. They find space to include a couple of the fine John Barry instrumentals: the wonderful theme from On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and a characteristic theme from From Russia With Love which you'll recognize the second you hear it. (Frankly I might buy this disk for the On Her Majesty's Secret Service theme alone.) There's also a Dionne Warwick song from Thunderball, which previously had not appeared on CD.

What's weird about this collection is that the tracks are not in chronological order. Jarring. For my own use I take these tracks and re-burn them onto a CD in chrono order. I don't understand what the producers were thinking when they set the track order of this collection.

But it's a good to have these tracks. It's a nice set.

The Best Of James Bond: 30th Anniversary Collection.......2005-07-01

This CD was really awesome. First off, any Bond fanatic should have this CD because it contains only the essentials of the Bond themes (the first 16 movies). Anyway, the CD was great to listen to because it sparked so many memories. All the tracks were great to listen to except for track 5 which I did not like so much. Even though I did not like that song, it did not spoil the fun. As I said, the CD only contains the themes from Dr. No all the way through License To Kill. However it does not have the songs for Goldenye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough, and Die Another Day. While listening to this CD, you will also see how much Mr. Bond has progressed in over 40 years. It is actually really amazing. The front cover is actually a cool booklet when you open it up. It has some information on how all the Bond movies came about, and how good they were. It also discussed the different people that played the role of James Bond, and of course about the successes of the theme songs. It was really interesting to read, and you might learn a thing or two as well. In the end, this was a tidy CD and satisfies your needs nicely for any Bond fanatic that just wants the theme songs and not that other crap in the limited edition. Should be in your library if you like this music.

Best (1 disc!) CD for the casual Bond fan.......2004-11-19

This collection is much better than that over-priced 2 disk set (same name), and it gives you the hits only. Standout tracks are Carly Simon's Nobody Does It Better (isn't that fade out fantastic?), and A-HA's The Living Daylights (I still can't understand the lyrics: "comes the morning and the candlelights fade away or comes the morning and the headlights fade in rain?!?") Anyway, that's a cool song, but my all time favorite would have to be Paul McCartney & the Wings "Live and Let Die." Its a great rock/reggae blast, and makes you feel like James Bond.

Bond For All Time.......2004-07-04

I'm not a fan of the James Boond films, but there is no denying that the series has some of the best theme songs ever. This CD collects all of them up to and including 1989s "License To Kill". From rock to camp to touching ballads and many other genres this CD covers many bases. There is something for everyone on this CD. My only complaint is that the tracks aren't in chronoligical order. But the CD booklet does give a nice summary of each film and a bit of it's histroy with is a very welcome touch for people like me who know very little about the movies.

Highly recommended for 007 fans, soundtrack buffs and those who just enjoy great music.

Great, BUT..........2001-10-01

EVERY song here, in one way or another, is an all-time classic. This package includes the 007 themes from DR. NO (1962) to LICENSE TO KILL (1989). However, I'd suggest skipping this seemingly incredible comp and going instead for the 2-CD set of the SAME NAME! Disc 1 on that contains the 16 themes in chronological sequence (which this, strangely, doesn't), while Disc 2 contains a LOT of previously-unreleased tracks that can be found nowhere else.
