Check Out This Unreleased James Bond Theme

August 28, 2015 Alan Cross 0 Comments

While it’s still too early to get into the new James Bond film–Spectre isn’t set to be released until October 26–we can at least brush up on some Bond lore, specifically theme songs.

In my opinion, this will forever be the best Bond theme.

Number two is this gem from Shirley Bassey back in 1964.

But there’s another version of “Goldfinger” that I’d never heard until Tom pointed it out on YouTube. It’s an official unreleased recording by British song-and-dance dude Anthony Newley–and it’s not quite the same.
