This CD sounded very appealing to me when I first saw it. Any 007 fan would love a compilation of the greatest Bond hits. However, there is one all-important factor missing from this CD: The original artists! Dont expect to hear Cheryl Crow belting out "Tommorrow Never Dies," because it's not her. Hoping to hear Tina Turner sing "Goldeneye"? Look elsewhere. In all fairness, some of the renditions are better than others; "The World Is Not Enough" comes across fairly well, as does "Goldeneye"; However, "Live and Let Die" follows its own advice and "The Living Daylights" is just plain sad. (Who would have thought A-Ha would be such a hard band to cover?) Can somebody tell me why the chorus for "The Living Daylights" is in the background and panned to the right? If you're looking for a cheap version of 007's greatest hits, you've found a winner. If you're looking for the quality originals that made Bond great, keep searching.

I own this soundtrack already and I thought it would be pretty good. At first, I thought it was okay until I played it again and again. It finally grabbed me and made me tune in more. It was better than I thought it would be. :)
