Newley's jazz version was, however, replaced by Shirley Bassey's version in 1964 for the film and for release on the album. The first is the original version of "Goldfinger" sung by Anthony Newley who also wrote the song in collaboration with the film's composer, John Barry. Two rare additions were also made to the second disc. "Thunderball Suite", was likewise not released on the Thunderball soundtrack till its remastered release in 2003.

Disc 2 includes four tracks that were originally missing from Goldfinger's soundtrack (US release), although these four were included in the remastered soundtrack for Goldfinger in 2003. It featured all 16 title songs for the 16 films that had thus far been released. The 30th Anniversary Collection of The Best of James Bond was released in 1992.
