An Orchestral James Bond Collection Finally Gets Its Shot

September 21, 2022 By Mike Duquette 1 Comment

Bond 25

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

James Bond has been a suave secret agent on screen for 60 years - so an official musical companion getting delayed several years is nothing, right?

Bond 25, an orchestral survey of the pop themes that have accompanied every picture based on Ian Fleming's Agent 007, is finally heading to stores this Friday, September 23, after a delay just slightly longer than the release of the most recent Bond film, 2021's No Time to Die, the fifth and final outing for Daniel Craig in the lead role. (Originally planned for a 2019 release when it was slated to be directed by Danny Boyle, the Cary Joji Fukunaga-helmed project was among the first major films impacted by the spread of COVID-19 in March 2020. It finally saw release in the fall of 2021.)

While the Bond 25 album, featuring arrangements performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (including Billie Eilish's Oscar-winning "No Time to Die"), did not come out alongside the No Time to Die soundtrack, its release is well-timed not only to the 60th anniversary of the franchise, but the impending release of The Sound of 007, a documentary that will dive into the history of the franchise's musical themes. (It's due to release on AppleTV+ in October.) For fans looking to go a little deeper than the latest iteration of The Best of Bond...James Bond, this might be your ticket.

Check out the full track list and order links below.

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.

    Please explain, "For fans looking to go a little deeper than the latest iteration of The Best of Bond...James Bond, this might be your ticket."

    This "Bond 25", is just orchestral - not original singers like "The Best of Bond..."? If yes, then what's "the deeper"?
