The James Bond Suite

Bleuville · October 2012

Does anyone know what CD (if any) has the James Bond Suite on.
This was a few of the famous Bond tunes recorded by John Barry but with a lush full orchestra
so it has a really rich fantastic sound to it.

Barry recorded two versions of this suite. The first is on "The Concert John Barry", the second on "Moviola 2". The second includes "All Time High" while the first doesn't (it hadn't been written then!)
IMHO the first version has a bit more energy to it. Links below to both albums.

Having ordered from Amazon, I now have "The Concert John Barry" CD and played it in the car.

It's excellent (as I remembered from my old cassette copy).
It is the embellished full orchestra music with extra instruments and arrangements by John Barry.(as opposed to a copy cat orchestra) Probably recorded circa 1972 as the JB Suite is just short of 18 minutes which is a continuous medley
from Dr. No to Diamondsare Forever. I think there are some French Horns as the brass music sounds deep and strong.

So very happy with this.

My copy of the CD arrived recently and I have been playing it almost non-stop. Besides the James Bond Suite, which sounds magnificent, I have fallen in love with a few of Barry's other compositions which I hadn't fully appreciated before. I was always a fan of Midnight Cowboy, but I haven't heard it for a while, and I really enjoy the arrangement on this CD. Also, I discovered a couple of tunes I wasn't familiar with - Walkabout, which is interesting, and The Adventurer, which I absolutely love. So thanks again for the recommendation. -{
