5.0 out of 5 stars We Finally Know His Name!, November 3, 2008

By	Sean M. Teague (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars All the good Bond songs, January 7, 2009

By	Dorrie Wheeler - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

The most memorable thing about James Bond movies are the theme songs. Some of the top stars in the music business have contributed songs to the James Bond movie soundtracks. Capital records has released "The Best of Bond...James Bond." The 23 track compact disc features all of the most memorable James Bond theme songs. The CD opens up with the James Bond theme performed by the John Barry Orchestra. If you are a fan of the James Bond movies you will certainly have your own favorite theme song. Featured on the CD are the songs "For Your Eyes Only," by Sheena Easton, "A View To A Kill," by Duran Duran, "Live and Let Die," by Paul McCartney and Wings, "Die Another Day," by Madonna and "Nobody Does It Better," by Carly Simon among other James Bond theme songs. "The Best of Bond...James Bond" is a great way to own all of the James Bond theme songs in one setting. As an added bonus the CD features the John Arnold version of the James Bond theme which was previously unreleased.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good way to get the real deal, September 6, 2009

By	C. Hill (St. Joseph, MO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Best of Bond...James Bond (MP3 Download)

I bought this album for the Sheryl Crow song. I did find others I liked, though. If you absolutely have to have the theatrical version of Bond movie themes, this is a good way to get them.
