Great CD I only wish that it had been on the Casino Royale soundtrack. Loved this CD.
Buy it on iTunes
Nobody should have to pay 12. Great song, but unless you are really, really in desperate need for the acoustic version of "Black Hole Sun" buy "You Know My Name" for 99cents on iTunes. 99 for 2 songs. Anyway, you could probably get the "Black Hole Sun" as an acoustic on iTunes anyway for 99cents. And if you can't just get the original for a buck, it's better anyway.
It's just disturbing to see that people paid 12. 99 for this.
Great Song - Bad Decision, Chris
I've never heard of that before and had really been looking forward to having the entire score rolled into one CD. I was disappointed that he chose to have the song omitted from the soundtrack CD. So much for that. >:(.
The only place to find the one song, so..what's it worth to ya?
To his dismay, it was not there, but my research revealed that it would be available later as a single; his research revealed a dispute between Cornell and Sony regarding payment for the recording. A friend and I saw Casino Royale at the theater, and he was extremely impressed by the 'You Know My Name', enough so that we tracked down the soundtrack that night. Hence, the need to get this single from Japan. The Amazon price is acceptable for what will probably become a rarity due to the dispute, and the Bond song is EXCELLENT. The other song included is a live version of 'Black Hole Sun', of interest to Soundgarden completists, but only of some interest to me, though well done. My friend is now serving in Iraq, so it fell to me to get this for him, and I am glad I did, but I wonder why neither party in the dispute could find a middle ground given the potential earning power of this fine song? You must choose, reader, just how much you like it, to justify the cost. .
Bond theme
It certainly suits such a new and probably best Bond ever. So many great Bond themes have been created over the years, my own favourites include Shirley Bassey's 3 and Gladys Knight, was unsure of this at first, but it has really grown on me and I actually did buy it.
