EMI - 2 CD Ultra Set - 1992
This is the 30th Anniversary Limited Edition double CD of The Best of James Bond. Comes with the original large cardboard package, which has damage to both spines (see photos). This has also slightly damaged the CD case (see photo), but the CD's and booklet are in mint condition and the CDs play perfectly without any scratches. The 24 page booklet contains information about the James Bond soundtracks, with many photos from the films.
