Najslávnejší filmový agent tento rok oslávi päťdesiatiny. Pri tejto príležitosti vyšla tento týždeň kolekcia všetkých ústredných piesní z 22 filmov s Jamesom Bondom. Album Best of Bond… James Bond je pre fanúšikov nielen filmu, ale najmä hudby k dispozícií vo formátoch CD, 2CD aj digitálne.
Album Best of Bond…James Bond ponúka všetkých 22 piesní, ktoré boli doposiaľ pre Bonda nahrané, plus ústrednú znelku Johna Barryho zo šiesteho filmu z roku 1969 - On Her Majesty´s Secret Service. Rozšírené vydanie s podtitulom 50 Years – 50 Tracks naviac obsahuje ďalšie výrazné skladby z jednotlivých dielov série.
Hudba je veľmi dôležitou súčasťou každej bondovky a záujem o to, natočiť ústrednú melódiu k novému Bondovi, je medzi interpretmi enormný. Mnohé z týchto piesní pre film s agentom 007 sa stali svetovým hitom a zatiaľ posledným ašpirantom na tento titul je song Skyfall od speváčky Adele. Ten sa však na kompilácii nenachádza, keďže 23. film o Jamesovi Bondovi do kín ešte len príde.
Pripomeňme si však niekoľko titulných skladieb od známych interpretov, ktorí mali tú možnosť podieľať sa na hudobnej vložke ku kultovým filmom o agentovi 007.
