how did you guys figure this song out? Sheet music, tabs? If so where, we're trying to learn it :D

[stratogeezer]

I had a copy of the instrumental theme that is on the original Soundtrack from the motion picture for Goldfinger. I just played it over and over until I got the basic leads down - then tried it with the bass and drums. It took some work and we more or less added and cut some parts -but it came out pretty well. So - no tabs or sheet music - just listening to it over and over and learning to play it part by part in the right key(s).

Not bad....didn't know any non whites cared about this stuff

Wow! My youth screams volumn at these things! SUch crazy devices that I've never even phathomed! Bubble gum cards? Really? And a race track sounds likely, but still, I could see that even comming out now with some popularity.

When I was a kid, 007 stuff was about as big

as the invention of sliced bread - massive

popularity. I still have the Corgi model

Aston Martin and my Thunderball jigsaw puzzle

and my James Bond black & white bubblegum

cards. If you had one of those Milton Bradley

games in good condition, it could be worth

something, depending on how badly a collector

wanted it. Very rare are the James Bond road

race sets; oh, how I wanted one of those from the Simpson-Sears Christmas catalogue.

Ha! That's horrible. But they [companies] really do market off of things like that, so I guess it's a way to make more money faster. It is still very cheesy, though.

yeah me too

On looking at the previous comments, it's obvious that you guys were speaking of a video 'shooter'. The first Bond film that I ever saw was "Thunderball" in its original release (summer 1966 by the time it got to our small town). I was referring to the original "Goldfinger" game which was a

card and spinner type board game but Milton Bradley put a picture of Connery as 007 on the box, labelled it "The Goldfinger Game', and made millions; it was actually just some rip-off of Crazy 8s.

Really? For what counsel, and what was it called?

Well, never mind that other question, but still, I hadn't ever heard of it.
