Music Of Mystery Mayhem And Murder (1965)

Unforunately, not quite as exciting as the cover would suggest, but a good mid-sixties spy related album for all that.

Eric Winstone Plays 007 (1973)

This has been on my wants list for a few years so I pleased to find it so cheap on my recent trip down south.  OK, so it's a little crackly here and there, but none of that matters when you hear The Man With The Golden Gun.  No, not the version you think it is, but a co-write from Eric and the legendary Syd Dale. 

Thunderball, The Man From U.N.C.L.E And Other Secret Agent Themes (1966)

Allegro were one of those really annoying labels who had generic rear sleeves.  Nice album this though.

Marvin Hamlisch - Bond '77 (1977)

My favourite James Bond theme interpretation.  This is a great single as it has the equally lovely Ride To Atlantis on the flip.  A different mix to the album version.

A few years back my wife and I went to see a Bond Night at the Birmingham Symphony Hall with the Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.  The evening was hosted by the lovely Honor Blackman.  The music was, of course, fantastic.  The orchestra did both of these tracks.  Their version of Bond '77 was amazing!

If you've never heard this version of the famous theme then you're in for a real treat.
