I love the theme used in LTK, very big and makes Bond seem unstoppable. I do like Bond 77 and that used in FYEO, as well as Goldeneye Overture. I do like a lot of tracks on the DAD soundtrack as well.
My favorite version of the theme is by the Film Festival Orchestra, off their 1977 LP "Music from The Spy Who Loved Me & Other Great James Bond Thrillers."
Basically, it's the Bond theme done on a fuzz guitar that's been put through a phaser:
After some digging I discovered that this track, and most others on the LP, were actually recorded in 1973 (which is apparent when you listen to it, as it certainly doesn't sound like something from the disco era), and released under the name The Film Studio Orchestra.
GF and TWINE really do it for me, those two are great, if not the best, imo.
Don't confuse me with the other DutchBondFan, but be sure to follow his YouTube account. You can read my articles on James Bond Nederland: www.jamesbond.nl/author/gosse/

Actually, I've re-listened and come to agree with you.

Not bad.
I'm starting to really like it.

It does, and the double bass is cool in that version as well.
I absolutely love the version at the end of OHMSS because of the double bass. Seems like it is never going to stop walking
Isn't OHMSS electric bass doubled with a synth bass? Or is it double bass doubled with a synth bass?
Do you think the Bond theme was orchestrated the same way for that film?
Gotcha. The bass is also excellent in the Ski Chase cue. Right after the 'string section' opening finishes and the OHMSS tune begins.
Great bass sound
It sure does but the “Opening titles” theme in FRWL has to be my all time favourite.
Interesting, but I could not sit through an entire show. I didn’t even make it through the entire song.
