Also late, but sounds like a fascinating compilation - would love a link

[AMC Hornet]

I'd always wondered who sang 'Casino Royale' and now I know.

Now I just have to find out more about who Mike Redway is...

[Pay Attention 007]

Hello everyone,

Would anyone here still have a copy or a link to these tunes that they'd be willing to share? I'd sure love to add them to my collection of Bond songs!

Thank you so much!

Hello everybody, I know it's a bit strange to ask for something in a first post. But TheLazenby i'm very interrested in your collection. There are titles i've never heard of and dying to hear It. Any chance for me to get It. Please PM me!!

Tino

[playpause]

Always very fond of new and alternate versions of these themes.
No chance of anyone sharing the links ?

[robg1979]

All fascinating stuff, lots of tracks I've never heard of. Some better than the official themes I think.

[TheLazenby]

I'll be adding to this - I had no idea about the "Live And Let Die" demo on the In Laws soundtrack, AND I'm already finding Skyfall rejects! (Huck Whitney strikes again....)

[robg1979]

Listened to Surrender back to back with No Good About Goodbye and a similar sample or effect jumped out at me as being the same. Any one else hear it? 0.10 on Surrender and 1.10 on No Good. Tweeted David Arnold to clarify and it's a sound he made on a Nord keyboard, the same thing

He has an odd idea of what a Bond song is...

[Mr Twilight]

I don't know if it has been mentioned; Edenbridge made a cover of For your eyes only back in 2006. Release as a single I believe.

[mikafu]

The Japan-CD from TWINE includes the Song "Sweetest Coma Again" by Luna Sea feat. DJ Krush, which also was used in the end credits in Japan.

[The Shark]

The Japan-CD from TWINE includes the Song "Sweetest Coma Again"

Should've been the film's tagline.

I was wondering if someone could perhaps add to each track where it can be found on CD (and note if it's only 'available' unofficially).

 

For instance, I only know of the one Anthony Newley demo (on the 30th Anniversary compilation) - what's the other demo?

[TheLazenby]

The other demo was sent to me by, I think, Matt Sherman of 007Forever.  It only seems to exist in poor MP3 quality.

 

Anyway - I reuploaded all of these on Zippyshare, since Mediafire blocks for copyright now.  I made two revisions to the tracklist: the alternate version of "Live and Let Die" from The In-Laws soundtrack has been added, and I replaced the wrong (album) version of "You Know My Name" with the single version, which IS different.

Sorry to resurrect a dead thread,but I found it on Google while looking for a list just like this.  Just wanted to point out there's a French version of FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE sung by Bob Askolf.  Not sure if you're trying to encompass foreign music, though, or whether that's the only instance of a non-English version of a Bond song.  (Might be so many it constitutes a whole other project, for all I know!)   

[Walecs]

Diamonds are Forever had an italian version, sung by Shirley Bassey, and it was included at the ending credits of the movie.

[andrewjbrook]

According to Wikipedia - and we all know how reliable *that* is - Peter Sellers also did a version of Mike Redway's "Casino Royale" song. And then there's the Smith and Jones sketch featuring the composition of the (not) theme to "Octopussy"....http://www.youtube.c...h?v=Hl_QWkvtCXI

There were quite a few. The German version of "From Russia With Love", "Die Wolga ist weit" (The Volga is far away) was sung by Ruth Berlé and was, AFAIK, included in early German cinema versions, playing over the end credits. The Fench had "Bons baisers de Russie" (Good Kisses from Russia), sung by Bob Askolf.

There where German and Italian versions of "You Only Live Twice" (not certain about a French one), of which I don't know if there were included into the foreign language movie versions. The German version of "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" by Alan Corb was certainly not in the movie.

The Italian, the French and the German version (not certain about a possible Spanish one) of "The Look of Love" from CR67 were (and are) all included in the respective versions, and they were all sung by popular French singer "Mireille Mathieu. "Do you know how Christmas trees are grown?" had their own versions in the German (sung by Katja Ebstein) and French (sung by Isabelle Aubret) movie versions.

 

These are the ones I can tell off the top of my head. I believe there's a thread somewhere in this forum which discusses the topic of foreign language versions. A broad field it is. 

[JB007M]

Could you send me a link? Just stumbled onto this. 

[krzycho007]

I've searched for this kind of project for a long time, hope it's not too late to get a link to it.

[nicage]

Wow, does a link to this still exist? this looks like a great project.

 

Many thanks

[Dawggie]

I would also like the link - I have most of the ones you list out, but there are a few I'm missing.  Thanks!

[JCRendle]

I've made a Youtube playlist with a number of the alternate tracks... https://www.youtube....z9o2qcrJbqYRiSw

I'll second that!

[Trevelyan 006]

I've always enjoyed and appreciated Ace of Base's efforts with "The GoldenEye".

 

It just comes off a bit too up-tempo for the film's final plot though, in my opinion.
