Recommended music:
Today, from the Bond on Vinyl archives, we’re still listening to For Your Eyes Only, but also Dr. No, From Russia with Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, Diamonds Are Forever, Live and Let Die, The Man With The Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me, and Moonraker!
This 1982 French compilation album featured title tracks from the first 12 Bond films. Originally distributed in Germany & Holland in 1981 following the summertime theatrical release of ‘For Your Eyes Only,’ I’m not sure how many months passed before this was also issued in France.
There is not necessarily anything wrong with this album, but after a dozen films in 20 years, a record of the same old title tracks is getting, dare I say it, a boring release? Well, not just yet, as this compilation is blessed with the inclusion of Marvin Hamlisch’s “Bond ’77” from ‘The Spy Who Loved Me,’ giving the listener a fair amount of funk to break up the decade of main title ballads.
