Customer Reviews

All Instrumental
All Instrumental - not the original bond songs by the original artists.

If you are looking for original theme songs with the words...do not buy this CD set.

Not what you may expect, but excellent!
I guess I didn't pay enough attention, but I was expecting all the original theme songs by the original artists. Instead, I received so much awesome music beautifully performed by the Prague Philharmonic. This is a must if you are a die hard James Bond fan AND you like an occassional trip to the symphony.

This Bonds For You!
To coincide with the "Utimate Edition" James Bond DVD Box Sets released in 2006, comes this sterling 4-CD Box Set. If you're among those who favor the symphonic sound of the Bond films, this Bonds for you. Also, sure to be pleased with this pristine, HDCD 2006 release are audiophiles. Bond never sounded better!

The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra gets the kudos for adding lustre to the James Bond music. From "Dr. No" right up to "Die Another Day" the orchestra, conducted by Nic Raine and James Fizpatrick, gets it right.

There are two interesting bonus tracks. "The Look of Love" (one of the best cuts) from the "Casino Royale" spoof made in the sixties and the title track for "Never Say Never Again." Both are rarities. They come from the only Bond films made without the control of the Broccoli family. Both cuts are on CD 4.

Now to the CD's.

CD 1: Music from Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball and Dr. No
are featured. Has the Goldfinger theme ever sounded better? The answer is a resounding no. This is the best. Same goes for the James Bond Theme which opens this CD.

CD 2: Music from You Only Live Twice, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Diamonds Are Forever and Live And Let Die are featured. This might be the best CD overall.

CD 3: The Man With The Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only and Octopussy. Included is the terrific cut "Nobody Does It Better" from The Spy Who Loved Me.

CD 4: In addition to the bonus cuts we have A View To A Kill, Licence To Kill, Goldeneye and Die Another Day. The only weak CD, saved by the previously noted bonus material and a another great version of the James Bond Theme.

The Bond franchise is still going strong after 47 years. Fun films that happen to include some great music. I'm delighted to add yet another 5-Star rating for this highly recommended CD set.
