No need to go out to the car, Reed. What you've got sounds the same as my old LP.

The bossa nova theme which Bond and Fiona dance to is "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang"-- and there is an expanded anniversary CD which includes alternate versions with lyrics (sung by Shirley Bassey and others)-- which suggests to me that it was originally a title tune (and I just love it!). Variations of it play all through the score, more often I think than "Thunderball" itself. The James Bond "underwater" theme is introduced here as well, if I remember right, only to return later in the series (DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER, off the top of my head).




He's cool, and he's dark.
And like a shark, he looks for trouble.
That's why the zero's double!
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang....

My favorite Barry recordings are:
I would add MIDNIGHT COWBOY. I love that music, though I've never seen the film, as I promised my mom I wouldn't when it was rated 'X'.

HIGH ROAD TO CHINA is also kind of fun as a score.

And you should definitely revisit DANCES WITH WOLVES, CHAPLIN and especially KING KONG.
