5.0 out of 5 stars We Finally Know His Name! November 3, 2008
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Normally, I'd say this just one of umpteen "Best of" CDs chronicling the many James Bond title songs. However, what makes this collection stand out is the inclusion of 'You Know My Name', the theme to 'Casino Royale', marking the first time the song has appeared on a Bond soundtrack. So, if you want all the title songs to every James Bond picture from Dr. No to Casino Royale, go buy this little gem of a release. You won't be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars amazing music that just won't age March 16, 2010
Format:Audio CD
This album has all the theme songs to the James Bond films ever made--except for "Another Way to Die" by Jack White and Alicia Keys from the recent Bond film "Quantum of Solace;" but even without this particular track this CD is still a good one. The songs all sound terrific; they haven't aged one bit. In addition, the quality of the sound couldn't be better and this is a desirable CD for fans of the James Bond spy thrillers.

There's not a single dud in the bunch; each song showcases fantastic talent. John Barry's orchestra plays the James Bond theme with panache; it's a very full musical arrangement and I like that a lot. Matt Monro does a splendid job delivering "From Russia with Love;" he makes this shine with his crooner voice and the music makes good use of the strings and the percussion. Of course, Shirley Bassey's "Goldfinger" was a big hit for her in addition to making an excellent movie theme; Shirley never lets go of a single superfluous note and I love it! Other amazing tunes would include Tom Jones' "Thunderball;" Nancy Sinatra's "You Only Live Twice" which she performs faultlessly; Shirley Bassey's "Diamonds Are Forever" which has her squarely in the spotlight; Paul McCartney And Wings' "Live and Let Die" which is absolutely electric, to say the least; Carly Simon's classic "Nobody Does It Better;" Sheena Easton's "For Your Eyes Only" which she delivers very passionately; Duran Duran's "A View To A Kill" with that killer beat; Gladys Knight's sublime "License to Kill" which she handles like a pro even with all those complex tempo and key changes; Tina Turner's "Goldeneye;" "Tomorrow Never Dies" which gets the royal treatment by the great Sheryl Crow who was born to sing ballads like this one; k.d. lang's "Surrender;" the stunning "The World Is Not Enough" by Garbage; Madonna's "Die Another Day;" and "The James Bond Theme" by John Arnold. There's even "You Know My Name" by Chris Cornell from the movie "Casino Royale!"

Overall, if you want a comprehensive CD of the theme songs from the James Bond movies, this is a pretty good choice although you should keep in mind that this does not include "Another Way to Die" from "Quantum of Solace." In addition, people who enjoy outstanding music in general may also want to get this for their collections; the music is from several decades' worth of movies and there's not a single bad song on the album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what you hoped for.. November 19, 2009
By Dave
Format:MP3 Music|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the real deal. When I first looked for Bond theme songs all I seemed to find were orchestral versions. This CD is like unearthing a time capsule, each song bringing back a flood of memories from the various points in my life. Highly recommended (even if you aren't a Bond fanatic, I like Bond movies and all, but not more than any other genre of films).

All tracks are original, but I found the recording quality to be quite inferior. That was the whole point of buying a CD instead of individual MP3s. Read more
