Saturday Playlist #9: James Bond In The '80s

As Roger (83 this week!) Moore's moobs - and career - continued their downward trajectory and his corset grew ever sturdier, the 1980s Bond films saw musical contributions from Bill Conti (loyal viewers will recall the happy day when he was crowned The Incredible Suit's favourite Conti) and John Barry. When Timothy Dalton took over and LITERALLY BLEW MY MIND, Barry bestowed upon us his final Bond score, and Michael Kamen did the honours for Dalton's second and final 007 flick.

Sadly Spotify has failed miserably in the For Your Eyes Only score-providing department, so you'll just have to go and buy a copy. But you were going to do that anyway, right?
So make love to a woman half your age, embarrass yourself, then get serious, don't have as much casual sex, crack less jokes and be possibly the greatest person ever to play James Bond as you...

  1. How about a collection of Western movie tracks like 'The Big Country' by Jerome Moross or 'The Magnificent 7' by Elemer Bernstein or 'The Good, The Bad And The Ugly' by Ennio Morricone?

  2. Hugo Montenegro recorded a version of 'The Good, The Bad And The Ugly' which reached #2 in the USA hit charts in June 1968.
