Bassey Sings Bond, is a 1987 studio album by Shirley Bassey, notable for having been released without the artist's consent, and subsequently withdrawn from sales by court order. StoryIn early 1987 Bassey announced that she was planning to record an album of James Bond themes. The album was due for release 1987 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Dr. No. She promoted it on the television show "Live At The Palladium" on May 3, 1987, where she lip-synched "A View to a Kill" and also performed a James Bond medley. Bassey decided not to release the album, for reasons that remain unclear (it is believed that she was not satisfied with the quality of the recording). However, five years later, the album was released, against Bassey's wishes, by the ICON Records label on September 20, 1992 as The Bond Collection, and again by TRING Records on January 10, 1994 as Bassey Sings Bond. Bassey sued in court, and on May 5, 1995 a permanent injunction was obtained against Icon Entertainment to prevent further manufacture or sales of the album.[1][2] All existing unsold copies were withdrawn from sale, and the CDs are now scarce. There were no singles issued from this album. A new album "Bassey Sings Bond" (not to be confused with TRING Records1994 edition) with new recordings of Bond songs was recorded for EMI and was to be released at the end of 2002. Again this project ran into problems shortly after recording and it has not been released. The vocal performance of "You Only Live Twice" recorded for this album was remixed in 2007 for the album Get the Party Started. Track listing
