Can anyone help by knowing what song was played at Pussfeller's club where we see Pussfeller walking acros to talk to Bond?

It's a rather cool song!

    Are you talking about "Jamaica Jump-Up"? If so, it was composed for the movie and is on the soundtrack album.

    It's called "Jump Up" on the album but has been referred to as "Jamaica Jump Up" by several sources including Monty Norman, the credited composer of the soundtrack.

    Byron Lee & the Dragonaires, who performed the song, were formed in 1956 and continue to perform today (although Lee himself takes more of a back seat these days). "Jump Up" was a sizable hit for them and became one of their main theme songs. They also performed other songs on the DN soundtrack including "Kingston Calypso" (the "Three Blind Mice" number).

    To quote from ajb's long-awaited Bond music guide:

    "Byron Lee's band have great fun with what would become their signature song. Heard (and seen) as source music during Bond, Quarrel and Leiter's encounter with Annabel Chung. Covers include Roland Shaw."
