The upcoming James Bond film No Time To Die is nearing its November premiere, continuing the longest-running film franchise. Apart from its recognizable main character, part of what makes the Bond franchise so memorable are its indelible theme songs from popular artists. The forthcoming film’s theme was penned by Billie Eilish, making her the youngest artist to write a theme for the film. To commemorate the upcoming 25th Bond movie, Universal Music Enterprises has unveiled a limited-edition complete vinyl collection of Bond theme songs.
Not only does The Best Of Bond… James Bond compilation close with Eilish’s “No Time To Die,” but it also includes Adele’s “Skyfall,” the highest-grossing Bond film to date, as well as Sam Smith’s Spectre theme “Writing’s On the Wall,” both of which were awarded Grammys. Of course, the collection isn’t only contemporary songs. Best Of Bond is complete with well-known numbers like “James Bond Theme” by The John Barry Orchestra, Nancy Sinatra’s “You Only Live Twice,” and “Goldfinger” by Shirley Bassey.
