1. Overview
This release is a compilation soundtrack album produced by EMI / Capitol Records to commemorate 50 years of the James Bond film series (1962–2012).

The FLAC version denotes a lossless audio format, popular among audiophiles and collectors.
Notable Omissions: While released during the Skyfall era, the Adele title track is not included in this specific 2012 collection. Disc Breakdown Report: Best of James Bond – 50th Anniversary
