Absolutely amazing!!
Thanks! Always great John Barry!
That video was taken down quickly.
Arnold has gone on record numerous times stating that 'No Good About Goodbye' was never written for QOS, he was working with Bassey around the same time he scored QOS, and certain elements, styles, tones, notes, bled over... it's all coincidence... you can ask him yourself on Twitter, he's usually really good about responding to fan questions..
"Skyfall"
"Tomorrow Never Dies" (in my opinion better than Sheryl Crow's Version)
"All Time High"
@Torgeirtrap
(Ignore the "1977" date given by the video--the song is from Barry's 1970 album Ready When You Are, J.B.)
Hadn’t heard that before. Which album is it from?
Also I can’t find that 70s version of Alpine Drive you mentioned in the other thread. Is that from the same album as this one?
The Alpine Drive theme is from another album. I'll share it if it's not online.
Wonderful! Thanks @mattjoes - really enjoyed the sound of this one! Did a bit of research on Spotify after listening through the video, and found the same track on an compilation album (with several artists) called Music For Lounging.
Here's a link for those who use Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/4yp4mVErmp7McrKowLYLrf?si=iGtZXzICRUmi8hKTxmVXFQ
Wonder if there's any other interesting Barry versions on Spotify…

Edit: I also found the George Martin LALD suite track discussed on the 'Last James Bond track or theme you listened to...' thread on Spotify:

@vzok, I don't know the name of the album in which these tracks were originally released. My copies come from a 2001 album called Lounge Legends: (https://www.discogs.com/John-Barry-Lounge-Legends/release/1471120). I also know they were included in two 1991 compilations, titled The Best of John Barry (https://www.discogs.com/John-Barry-The-Best-Of-John-Barry/release/5521209) and The Very Best of John Barry (https://www.discogs.com/John-Barry-The-Very-Best-Of-John-Barry/release/3327565)
I may have to do some further research in this matter, because I really want to know. As I said earlier, I do know DAF was released in 1972, and WHATTITW in 1974.
I'll share the Alpine Drive theme later.
Thanks for all the information.
Fantastic! Thanks again for sharing, @mattjoes!
Did a search on Spotify for this particular recording of We Have All the Time in the World, but couldn't find anything. Some other recordings of the same song are there of course - Barry included.
Love the bassline intro.
Love it. Thanks for sharing.

@vzok, I did some further research and I think it's very likely the DAF track was originally released on this Polydor record. It features a version of DAF paired with This Way Mary, from Mary, Queen of Scots. I'm pretty sure the version of This Way Mary included was this one, which as you can hear, isn't orchestral like in the film, but instead has a similar sound to the version of DAF I shared. This rearrangement was probably done to give the theme more mainstream appeal. So it would make sense that both tracks on the record had the same type of arrangement.
It's also possible, though not nearly as certain in my view, that the WHATTITW track was originally released on a 1974 album, also from Polydor, called Play It Again.
I forgot to mention I knew the years of these particular versions of the themes (and also that they were from Polydor) thanks to the booklet of the Best of John Barry album, which I found online somewhere.
