This is an exhaustive compilation guide for alternate versions of Bond songs (such as single versions, different mixes, edits, etc.).

It is limited to versions that are 'official', in the sense that the composer or producer was involved or that it was released on a single tied in with the film (so it doesn't have rejected versions - see this thread for rejected songs).

 

I spent much, much time on this, and I hope this is helpful for some of you. Any additions or comments are most welcome of course.

Thank you to those who helped me in my search in this thread.

 

(I'm also still looking for lossless rips of a couple of the more obscure vinyl tracks, so if you could help me, please let me know!)

Thanks for this . Just when I thought I had every version of the themes.
