Classic Bond music July 24, 2008

If you like the music from the James Bond films then this album is simply a must for your collection.
The 'Ski Chase' track alone is worth the money and a few other standouts are the 'Main Theme' and of course the famous ballad 'We Have All the Time in the World'.
Some people rate this as the best of the 21 Bond albums and I'd also say that it's certainly in the top three.

Not only my favourite Bond outing, but also my favourite John Barry Bond soundtrack. Some of the themes on this are still used today as backdrops for Bond movies and when you listen to this, it's obvious why. A corker.

For me too, On her Majesty's Secret Service was the first James Bond I ever saw. I was 11 and I remember how much I wanted to be James Bond just to be with Diana Rigg ! What a beautifull talented woman !The Louis Amstrong song is undoubtly my favourite piece and everytime I am in Lisbon I walk by the jewlery shop where Bond and Tracy chose a ring. Very funny feeling. Think Louis Amstrong was at the end of his life, sick. production went to the US and the whole business was wrapped in 2 takes. Now that's talent !
Anyhow, this is in my view the best ever James Bond soundtrack just as the movie ( I am a big Sean Connery fan ) the best Bond ever. George Lazenby was far from being bad. Think of Roger Moore !!
When I think Brigitte Bardot or Catherine Deneuve were originally thought of for Tracy's part, sweat runs down my spine. None of those women can act !
They don't make music like this anymore and I cannnot understand why. Grab this piece of soundtrack anthology before it gets off the shelves. Close your eyes and you won't believe the flow of memories that come back :))

The film OHMSS was controversial for two reasons one goerge lazenby first and only james Bond film and the film is one of the few films that were close to the original flemming novels too.over the years the film as topped most JB fans polls and also the soundtrack too.
Why? Because this soundtrack is simply oo heavan This was Barrys finest hour, from the memroable synth theme which is as good as the JB theme
in my view to the tender love theme we have all the time in the world which weaves itself throughout the soundtrack. again the expanded version of the soundtrack really adds to the feeling of the film with the missing cues if you only buy one JB soundtrack this is the one to have
Bond music at its finest September 2, 2005

I owned the previous release of this Bond soundtrack and as enjoyable as it was, the running time left you gasping for more... so here it is. As part of the Bond remastered series, the entire score is presented so at last you can enjoy unreleased gems such as Gumbold's safe and the escape from Piz Gloria. Barry was at the top of his game and added incredible atmosphere to the movie and it seems incredible that a full release took 40 years. The only problem with the Bond remastered series is that the discs present the music as the soundtrack was originally released followed by unreleased tracks at the end, rather than rearrange them into order for a more satisfactory listen. Thankfully, OHMSS doesn't suffer too greatly from this as the cues are unedited and independent, so programme them into the correct movie order and enjoy. A classic.
