''Goldfinger'' is the soundtrack for the third James Bond film of the same name. This is the first of three James Bond films with a theme song sung by Shirley Bassey, whose forceful, dramatic style became a series trademark (she would go on to sing ''Diamonds Are Forever'' and ''Moonraker''). "Goldfinger" was composed by John Barry, with lyrics by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse, and is widely acknowledged as a classic of its genre.〔Fiegel, E. (2012). John Barry: A Sixties Theme: from James Bond to Midnight Cowboy. Faber & Faber.〕 Co-producer Harry Saltzman is said to have hated the song as too old fashioned for 1960s youth culture and only agreed to use it when persuaded by Albert Broccoli〔Fiegel, E. (2012). John Barry: A Sixties Theme: from James Bond to Midnight Cowboy. Faber & Faber.〕〔Lindner, C. (2003). The James Bond phenomenon: A critical reader. Manchester University Press.〕 Originally, Newley recorded a version of the theme song, but it was later re-recorded with Bassey's voice for the film and soundtrack album. In 1992, Newley's version was released for the 30th Anniversary of James Bond on film, in the compilation collectors edition ''The Best of Bond...James Bond''. The score was composed by Barry, making this his second, credited Bond score. The score makes regular use of instrumental arrangements of the title theme, as well as the Bond theme from ''Dr. No'' used in the gun barrel sequence . The score makes heavy use of brass. The distinctive music for Goldfinger's henchman, Oddjob, makes use of repeated strokes on a metallic anvil. Metallic chimes are also heard in many scenes associated with Oddjob or gold, notably that in which the dead golden girl is discovered. The very effective use of music and various sound effects in the film won it an Academy Award for Best Sound Editing. The album reached 1 on the ''Billboard'' 200, and spent 70 total weeks on the chart, but for reasons that remain unclear, received no RIAA certification. Much of the music from the film's final reel was unreleased on the original soundtrack. In 2003, a remastered ''Goldfinger'' soundtrack album was released which contained four tracks that had previously been available on only the British soundtrack album. The US soundtrack album did not have these tracks but featured a Barry guitar cover version of the main theme that did not appear in the film. Barry also used the theme on his 1965 ''John Barry Plays Goldfinger'' album that featured Robert Brownjohn artwork. The harp melody at the beginning of the song "6 Underground" is sampled from the track "Golden Girl" from the ''Goldfinger'' soundtrack (specifically the scene where Bond discovers Jill Masterson covered in gold paint). ==Track listing== ;Side One # "Main Title – Into Miami- Goldfinger (3:31)" – Shirley Bassey # "Alpine Drive – Auric's Factory (4:22)" # "Oddjob's Pressing Engagement (3:06)" # "Bond Back in Action Again (2:31)"〔contains the James Bond Theme, originally composed for the Dr. No soundtrack〕 # "Teasing the Korean (2:11)" # "Gassing the Gangsters (1:04)" ;Side Two # "Goldfinger (Instrumental Version)(2:59)" # "Dawn Raid on Fort Knox (4:57)" # "The Arrival of the Bomb and Count Down (2:23)" # "The Death of Goldfinger – End Titles (2:31)" ;Tracks on the 2003 remastered ''Goldfinger'' Soundtrack CD # "Main Title" (sung by Shirley Bassey) (2:48) # "Into Miami" (0:57) # "Alpine Drive – Auric's Factory" (4:27) # "Oddjob's Pressing Engagement" (3:08) # "Bond Back in Action Again" (2:32) # "Teasing the Korean" (2:16) # "Gassing the Gangsters" (1:05) # "Goldfinger (Instrumental Version)" (2:10) # "Dawn Raid on Fort Knox" (5:48) # "The Arrival of the Bomb and Count Down" (3:29) # "The Death of Goldfinger – End Titles" (2:34) # "Golden Girl" (2:10) # "Death of Tilly" (2:04) # "The Laser Beam" (2:54) # "Pussy Galore's Flying Circus" (2:48) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Goldfinger (soundtrack)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
