Nobody does it better?

(2 out of 5 stars)

"Unfortunately, I'm afriad they do!

What a wasted opportunity - Shirley's voice is great as always, though rather uncharacteristically subdued on this album.

The biggest let down are the truly terrible arrangements. This should have been a classic album - and would have benefitted from full orchestrations - instead we get a synthesizer, which gives a very bad sound and ruins the whole thing.

If I had to highlight any of the tracks they would be Thunderball, Live and let die and perhaps Moonraker - even though these are mediocre at best.

We are all crying out for this album to be remade properly with Propellerheads or David Arnold - this version is sadly for die-hard Bassey fans only I'm sorry to say."
