Jamaica was the setting for Dr. No, Live and Let Die, The Man with the Golden Gun and the recent No Time to Die, and the home for Bonds creator, Ian Fleming. There is also an extended essay on The Skatalites and their post modern love and ska-ification of all styles of music, from classical music to TV themes, from detective movies to Fiddler on the Roof. Aside from the James Bond-related cuts, this album also includes killer tracks from the secret agent 1969 spoof, Our Man Flint, the Clint Eastwood-starring Spaghetti Western, Hang Em High, the Brazilian movie masterpiece, Black Orpheus, and more besides.
