If there’s one thing I can say about the James Bond movies, it’s that it has the most amazing theme songs of our time . . . For Your Eyes Only, Nobody Does It Better, Live & Let Die, etc.
Well, now you can get all these classic hits on one CD/DVD - The Best of James Bond . . . James Bond.
Here you’ll find 23 of their biggest hits along with a previously unreleased track of the James Bond Theme. I really like that you can get all these great songs in one place. There’s also the added bonus of 5 music videos included in this set.
Whether you’re a James Bond fan or not, you’ll definitely appreciate this amazing collection of tunes.

7. Documentary: “The Music Of James Bond”
Some of our members had the opportunity to review this cool CD. Here’s what they had to say:
All Because Two People Fell in Love: We really enjoyed THUNDERBALL because it screams JAMES BOND!!! The DVD has some great videos and also includes a short documentary on the music of James Bond. You can’t go wrong with this 007 collection.
From Melissa’s Desk: This contains all of the very best Bond songs on one CD, plus it was very neat to pop it right into the DVD player and watch the music videos. If you are a 007 fan as I am, this soundtrack is for you.
Life is Like Champagne: I always have to watch the opening of the James Bond movies to enjoy the intro song, shaping the whole movie and setting the tone. This CD collection does a great job in taking you through the evolution of the music of the Bond films such as “Goldfinger” to “Die Another Day” .
Red Sox Mommy: I’ll be honest, I’m not a huge James Bond fan. I grew up with my dad watching them and then ended up marrying a James Bond fan so we have several James Bond dvd’s on our entertainment bookshelf. But one thing I do love about these movies is the music. It’s amazing!
Sheltered Not Shattered: Now, I’m not a big James Bond fan but Hubby has enjoyed the movies so I signed up. We lucked out and Hubby was with me when the cd arrived and so we put it in the player immediately. He said he liked that it had a well mixed variety of songs from all the movies. The boys seemed to enjoy listening to it also.
Tara’s View of the World: I found this to be a fun CD- I really liked “Tomorrow Never Dies” by Sheryl Crow and “Die Another Day” by Madonna.
The Dirty Shirt: This CD rocks and now I can hear all the songs at once and it is one of the rare CDs that I will listen to every song and not skip through! They have even added 5 music videos for a bonus. What more could a James Bond fan ask for?
