Rather than start a new thread, and this one I'm afraid isn't for charity, I thought I'd mention a new covers album here.

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Carl Davis, have released their own The Best of Bond. They are advertising this as only available from their own website:

at least until someone deceides to sell it on eBay )

I enjoyed the orchestra, when they weren't encumbered with vocals. Speaking of which, Mary Carewe yes (she doesn't top Shirley Bassey, but she does ok)- Simon Bowman, no. Favourites- "Ride To Atlantis" and "Dawn Raid On Fort Knox" (though the latter is much too abbreviated).

How can I get this in the US? It would be a perfect Christmas gift. Seems like it's only available on iTunes UK. Any advice??

Yes, that's the reason iTunes and any other download service that limits availabilty based on geographical location should just *&%$#!

Anyway, I wouldn't recommend this as a Christmas gift unless your target domain is knee-deep in experimental music and doesn't mind if the idea of a James Bond cover is playing 5 copies of the theme a top each other.
