JAMES BOND

VA - Bond with BOND (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2+CD3+Bonus

Since its inception in 1962, the James Bond film series from Eon Productions has featured many musical compositions, many of which are now considered classic pieces of British film music. The best-known piece is the "James Bond Theme" composed by Monty Norman. Other instrumentals, such as "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", and various songs performed by British or American artists such as Shirley Bassey's "Goldfinger", Nancy Sinatra's "You Only Live Twice", Paul McCartney's "Live and Let Die", Carly Simon's "Nobody Does It Better", Sheena Easton's "For Your Eyes Only", Duran Duran's "A View to a Kill", Tina Turner's "GoldenEye" also become identified with the series.

Madonna's "Die Another Day" became a dance hit around the world, while "A View to a Kill" is the only Bond song to have reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100. Three Bond songs have won the Academy Award for Best Original Song: "Skyfall" by Adele, "Writing's on the Wall" by Sam Smith and "No Time to Die" by Billie Eilish, with Writing's on the Wall also became the first Bond theme to reach number one on the UK Singles Chart.

"007 Theme", also known as "007 Takes the Lektor", is an adventure theme composed by John Barry in 1963 for the Bond film From Russia with Love. "The John Barry Seven" had pop chart hit with a cover version of Elmer Bernstein's theme to The Magnificent Seven that included seven beats repeated throughout the theme. Barry used seven beats throughout the "007 Theme". It became a secondary theme for the Bond films, being used throughout the series, primarily during action scenes. Its most notable appearances are:

From Russia with Love - played during the gypsy camp gunfight and also during Bond's theft of the Lektor decoder from the Russian embassy in Istanbul.

Thunderball - played briefly in a climactic underwater fight; a similar but different theme of seven beats is played when Bond runs from SPECTRE during a parade and during the climax.

You Only Live Twice - played during the flight of "Little Nellie" before Bond battles four helicopters that attack him.

Diamonds Are Forever - played during Bond's destruction of Blofeld's Headquarters.

Moonraker - played during the Amazon River chase.  

The theme has not been used in its entirety in a Bond film since its use in Moonraker.

A number of songs have been recorded for Bond films but were not used. These can all be found in the Bonus CD3. Some highlights are as follows:

"Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" by Dionne Warwick and Shirley Bassey was written for Thunderball. Its title refers to a nickname given to Bond by an Italian journalist in 1962. Warwick and Bassey both recorded versions, but halfway through the scoring process, producer Albert Broccoli decided that the film's title must appear in the lyrics, so "Thunderball" was commissioned. The song's melody still plays a prominent role in the score and both singers' versions have appeared on compilations in the 1990s.

"Thunderball" by Johnny Cash

"Run James Run" by Brian Wilson, intended as a Bond theme, but ultimately released as the eponymous track on the Beach Boys' album Pet Sounds.

"You Only Live Twice" by Julie Rogers is included on the 30th-anniversary release of The Best of James Bond.

"You Only Live Twice" by Lorraine Chandler appears on R(are) C(ollectable) A(nd Soulful) Volume 2.

"The Man with the Golden Gun" by Alice Cooper appears on their 1973 album Muscle of Love.

"For Your Eyes Only" by Blondie appears on their 1982 album The Hunter.

"Never Say Never Again" by Phyllis Hyman was intended for Never Say Never Again.

"The Living Daylights" by Pet Shop Boys was adapted from a demo theme for The Living Daylights, later reworked as "This Must Be the Place I Waited Years to Leave". It appears on their 1990 album Behaviour.

"The Juvenile" by Ace of Base was originally written in 1995 as "The Goldeneye", then rewritten as "The Juvenile" and released in 2002 on Da Capo.

"Tomorrow Never Lies" by Pulp, originally titled "Tomorrow Never Dies", was released as a B-side on their 1997 single "Help the Aged", and on the vinyl version of their 1998 album This Is Hardcore.

"Tomorrow Never Dies" by Saint Etienne appears on their Built on Sand album. The liner notes state that Pierce Brosnan kept the master tape of the song. Other artists who submitted Tomorrow Never Dies themes include Marc Almond, Swan Lee, the Cardigans and Space.

"Man of War" was written by the English band Radiohead in the 1990s.It was submitted for Spectre, but was rejected as it had not been written for the film, making it ineligible for an Academy Award for Best Original Song. Radiohead wrote another song for the film, "Spectre", but it was rejected as too melancholy. 

Bond music has inspired a number of cover songs in a variety of genres, so I have added an additional bonus, 53 tracks of covers that lived their own life around the globe. (These are not presented in chronological date order.)

Here is a chronological look at the songs that were used in the James Bond Movies. Enjoy!
