Mark,

As Eddie mentioned, RW did indeed play it first. The supplier ...who else but Simon Soussan. The undisputed King discoverer 1972-74!

For the first few weeks, requests poured in for 'the James Bond record' !!

Bloody hell! I would have bet my house that was a Mecca record first off. Live and learn....

Kieth played more than mmm in those days was also instrumental in teaching the idiot DJS like me the art of Dance Music and that you played Roosevelt and Ira Lee b4 Polk Salad Annie.

On a serious note look out for Yvonne Baker - Eyes - Argo nice record which really shows off her voice well.

Following on to this thread, has anyone published a book listing the classics like this along with the discoverer and/or DJ who played it first?

Where it was played and what month/year etc.

Is anyone that knowledgeable.

You're absolutely right Neil. If you haven't heard it check out "You Only Live Twice" by Lorraine Chandler. A stunning Pied Piper production, that undoubtedly was made with Bond in mind.

Excellent idea, but HUGE potential for arguments. :lol: I could imagine the errors/corrections being larger than the book itself!

Really?

Many thanks. One of that rare example of a song with two completely different versions that I enjoy both of.
