John Barry & James Bond Music

Seeing John Barry's Obit, I realized I have 4 James Bond soundtracks on CD, 'Goldfinger', 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service', 'You Only Live Twice', and 'Diamonds Are Forever', and they are all composed and conducted by John Barry.

I love these CDs. "You Only Live Twice" is a beautiful song, I dare to say Nancy Sinatra's best work. And od courtse there's Shirley Bassey...

But apart from the familiar opening song the rest of the soundtracks are great! Great music!

Big Bond fan here.

I pick up the old soundtracks on vinyl whenever I see them in good shape at reasonable cost. Very nice recordings as a whole! The essence of what vinyl is all about in many ways!

"You Only Live Twice" is maybe my favorite Bond theme also. "All Time High" from the 80's is another.

"Best of Bond" is a very comprehensive Bond's greatest hits disk on CD....good sound here as well!

With the subplot emphasis on good gear and gadgets, I would expect a high correlation between audiophiles and Bond fans?
