 Please Don't Buy This Item April 1, 2008
Mr. Laurence A. Mockler (Lucknow, NSW AUSTRALIA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have bought quite a few James Bond movie soundtracks and I am mostly pleased with all of them except this one 'The Spy Who Loved Me'. It only has 11 tracks and most have about 20 tracks.
The only decent ones are 'Bond 77' and 'The Tanker'.
I recently watched that movie to spot all of the tracks and most did not feature on the CD. The track called 'Anya' doesn't feature in the movie and is not a exciting track to listen too. The end credits track is different to the movie one. In the movie it starts off with a choir of men doing a jazzy feel to it and then cuts too the Carly Simon version. On the CD track it just has the instrumental version and then cuts to the Carly Simon version.
I am deeply disappointed and urge people not to buy this item.
 Some good Bond themes January 10, 2007
A. Thoreen (Seattle, WA)
This is not a good CD for those of you who want the James Bond theme music incorporated a lot. There are some songs which it appears in, like Bond 77, but otherwise, it's just a lot of other 70s music. Too bad, John Barry incorporates good Bond music, but this is not one of the Best Bond soundtracks.

This soundtrack is perfect for the consumate Bond fan. The cd contains most of the music from the film and is great purchase for anyone who loves the movie. Each track will immediately bring to mind the scene from the movie. I would buy it again.
James Bond and Disco collide with full force! June 15, 2005
Christopher Bales (Terre Haute, IN)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
For the most part, I feel that the Bond film scores all sound very similar. This is one that REALLY stands out to me.
1. -Nobody Does It Better- This is by far one of the best Bond songs ever recorded, and we are given the full cut of the song, not the partial cut that I have heard elsewhere.
2. -Bond 77- This is a 4:22 compilation of all the Disco-Bond themes throughout the film. It has great solos, and the Disco beat, though I'm not a big fan of Disco, this is an exciting track that defines Roger Moore's Bond in the film.
3. -Ride To Atlantis- This is a very tranquill and relaxing piece with lots of strings, guitars, and synthesizers. It is beautiful and gives the impression of being underwater.
4. -Mojave Club- This is a very interesting track. It has lots of drums and has an extremely African sound. It can get obnoxious after repeat listenings, but all in all, it is not too long and is worth a listen.
5. -Nobody Does It Beter (Instrumental)- This is, by far, the most beautiful track on the CD. It has beautiful solos by Marvin Hamlisch on piano, Laurence Juber on lead guitar, and Derick Plater.
6. -Anya- Although the track never actually appeared in the film, it is a beautiful serenade that stays appealing even after repeated listening.
7-10. -The Pyramids, Eastern Lights, Conclusion- These tracks are all connected and represent a compilation of the finale music from the film. 7 builds suspense with lots of brass and leads into 8. 8 consists of a disco/funk/African sound that is very neat sounding. 9 is mostly done by strings and a chorus. Over all, these tracks only add up to a total of 7:58.
11. -End Titles- This track consists of parts of tracks 1 and 5.
All in all, this is an incredible soundtrack, though I wish more could have been included. But as this was first released on a vinyl LP, the 36 minute total running time makes sense. This is an incredible album and the price is perfect. A GREAT BUY!!!
 Favorite Soundtrack, Disappointing "Remaster" March 29, 2005
The JuRK (Our Vast, Cultural Desert)

After checking out the new editions of other James Bond soundtracks, I was anxiously awaiting the full "Remastered Version" of THE SPY WHO LOVED ME.
And found myself disappointed.
Where the other soundtracks were not only remastered but filled out to include most of the music (doubling the tracks), SPY's new edition is simply the same exact tracks from the original 1977 album.
I'm giving it three stars because it's one of my favorite 007 soundtracks...but I felt like giving it one since I'd wanted the full treatment similar to what ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE or FOR YOUR EYES ONLY got.
