Description

Discover the hidden history behind the iconic sounds of 007. In The Music of James Bond, author Jon Burlingame explores the real-life drama that shaped the soundtracks of Ian Fleming's famous spy adventures. This book takes readers behind the scenes of the recording studio and into the courtroom to uncover the extraordinary stories of the music that defines the franchise.
