Which James Bond Theme Recording

I can’t remember whose “system” I was looking at here on AGon, but that particular member created his site with audio capabilities. One of the songs being played at this member’s “site” was a version of the James Bond Theme. It would be great to know what that particular version is, but I am also interested in knowing what other members feel are great JB performances/recordings.

Thanks.

I second Mofimadness and woudl add the "orginal theme" from Dr No perfromed by John Barry & Co. and also "From Russia With Love".

FWIW - desppiet the racial overtones in Live and Let Die - I still think the apoplectic Louisianna Sheriff that keeps trashing squad cars is one of the funniest sub plots of any of the Bond movies....

The Sheriff shows up again in "The Man with the Golden Gun" and is just as funny.

"Diamonds Are Forever" (Shriley Bassey) drips with style and class and has always stood out for me among all Bond themes. Also by Shirley Bassey, "Goldfinger" deserves mention as another Bond theme song with great style and class. In fact I believe Ms Bassey is the only recording artist to do the theme song for more than one Bond movie, a testament to her greatness. I cheated and checked Wikipedia. There was a 3rd Bond theme song by her for "Moonraker," which cannot compare to the songs mentioned above.
