Don and Anthony take a deep dive (without breathing apparatus) into the music of James Bond. But not the scores or official theme songs. No, this time their eyes and ears are trained on all the famous James Bond theme songs (or title songs) that never made it. The so-called Lost Tapes! So sit back and enjoy some of the great (and - let’s be honest - many not so great) songs that never made the final cut. Playlist 01 Anthony Newley - Goldfinger 02 Johnny Cash - Thunderball 03 Dionne Warwick...

Was the bomb in Vesper’s tomb designed to kill Bond, or just give...
