[edit] From Russia with Love primary and secondary themes
The same piece of music is listed as both the primary and the secondary theme for From Russia with Love. Norman314 05:27, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Discography
This article needs a discography. I have some old James Bond albums from the 60's (mostly scores performed by the Zero Zero Seven Band), and it would be great to see them listed chronologically. ---Alexander 007 04:22, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- We should stick to recordings made specifically for the movies. Recordings of Bond songs by Zero Zero Seven Band and the Outer Mongolian Kazoo Orchestra ;-) are a dime a dozen. There were dozens if not hundreds made in the 1960s (I have a pile of them myself). I'd rather see detailed information about the official movie recordings, though a lot of this is already covered in the applicable movie articles. 23skidoo 06:05, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, I suppose. But I want a discography of those Bond records in Wikipedia, perhaps in another article. ---Alexander 007 07:00, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- Perhaps a pop-culture related article might be a good place for a discography, though you'd need to have a fair amount of information at the start to avoid someone doing a hair-trigger AFD. 23skidoo 05:36, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
- Yup. I'm still interested in putting together a discography in another article, and once I get a reference (or better yet, references) at hand, I'll start the thing. Unless someone else comes along and starts it, which I wouldn't mind at all. -Alexander 007 05:46, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Depeche Mode
Don't you think some of Depeche Mode's songs would fit in a James Bond movie (particularly "Enjoy the Silence" and "Policy of Truth"?)? Silly me, I forgot to sign it again. 71.111.209.99 01:06, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] James Bond Theme as a closing theme
I think it should be noted which Bond films used the James Bond Theme for the closing music. I know this was the case with Dr. No, OHMSS and TWINE. Are there any other examples? 23skidoo 03:49, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Expanded soundtrack information
I suggest that all the film's soundtracks be updated with information from that soundtrack, such as various films (such as On Her Majesty's Secret Service or The Living Daylights) getting expanded soundtracks, issues about rereleasing certain soundtracks like Die Another Day or Licence to Kill, and maybe even a controversy with the Octopussy soundtrack (the original version by A&M Records had a printing error and was recalled, later rereleases by Rykodisc and EMI just add three tracks with dialog from the film with no additional music). Your thoughts? -TonicBH 03:07, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
- Specific soundtrack information can be found on the film's article. I think that's where the information should really be. Look to expand there. I think the scope of this page is really on the themes (e.g. James Bond Theme - not something like Nobody Does It Better), the composers, and the musicians associated with the series etc. K1Bond007 04:15, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
The theme was heard during the closing credits of the recent remake of Casino Royale. 69.29.6.5 05:01, 23 March 2007 (UTC)Lee Ann Campbell
[edit] How to edit the infobox at the end of this and other Bond music articles?
I want to edit the infobox at the end of this and other articles devoted to the music of the James Bond series of films, so that the names of each of the tracks points to the relevant Wikipedia article. You know, the one with the tag { { James Bond themes } } (removing the spaces, of course). It's driving me batty -- can someone tell me how to do it? TIA. -- Jalabi99 09:12, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] James Bond music
Hi. I don't disagree with you enough to revert. However in terms of long term impact Easton's song is a sidenote. Stop anybody in the street and ask them if they remember the theme to Diamonds are Forever or You Only Live Twice and many people will remember the Sinatra/Bassey songs. Ask them to name the theme to For Your Eyes Only and I suspect you would get more blank looks than answers. I don't think chart position is the most important factor - We Have All the Time in the World barely registered when released after OHMSS, but made the top 10 in the 1990s following the Guinness ad.

- You would have to find citations and not just go by random gut feel. Which might not be easy, given that it's totally subjective. FYI, FYEO is on my iPod, and the other two are not. Wahkeenah 22:53, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Clarification needed
This article tells me that the film "The World Is Not Enough" contains a song called "Only Myself To Blame" which is "not included in the film". Can that be made a bit clearer? AndyJones 21:19, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
