The Rebel Black Dot 007 Songs of the Day
Shirley Bassey, "Diamonds Are Forever" from The Best of Bond… James Bond: 50th Anniversary Collection (T.L.A.M.)

Samstag, 17 November
John Barry, "007" via iTunes (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: A secondary James Bond theme, introduced during the action sequences of From Russia with Love. You'd recognized "007" if you heard it, even if you don't know the title.

Freitag, 16 November
Eric Rodgers, "Kingston Calypso" via iTunes (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: The grimly comic song accompanying the opening titles of Dr. No, in which the immortal "James Bond Theme" appeared much later in the film's progression.

Donnerstag, 15 November
Louis Armstrong, "We Have All the Time In the World" from The Best of Bond… James Bond: 50th Anniversary Collection (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: The love theme, though not the main theme, from the most tragic of all Bond films, On Her Majesty's Secret Service. The titular theme is instrumental.
