The Beatles Bible - Topic: James Bond Theme on U.S. version of Help! http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/james-bond-theme-on-u-s-version-of-help/ Simple:Press Version 5.2.6 Funny Paper on James Bond Theme on U.S. version of Help! http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/james-bond-theme-on-u-s-version-of-help/#p68448 The songs http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/james-bond-theme-on-u-s-version-of-help/#p68448 I had started a topic on this in November of 2012 (called "The 007-ish intro to Help"), not knowing there might be another topic covering it.  Anyway, someone there answered that it was Vic Flick:

RunForYourLife said
I believe that Vic Flick (the guitarist who played the 007 theme) actually plays the twangy guitar on the instrumental bits in A Hard Day's Night.

Never heard of Vic Flick before.  I see now that he did the guitar work for the "James Bond theme" in the movie Dr. No (1962) -- three years before Help!

One assumes it's not the Beatles (as no such session has ever been documented).

Where was it nicked from?

Is it the original Vic Flick (John Barry Orchestra) version?

I have no idea where else you can download the individual song.  

 

The James Bond Intro Help! is currently on The Capitol Albums Volume 2 not the 2009 Stereo or Mono boxsets. It was the opening to the US Help! Original Soundtrack album and later on the 1973 US release of 1962 – 1966, tho i think it was omitted in subsequent reissues. Not sure if it was on The Beatles Box lp set released in 1982.

Depending on where you live, it might be very easy to get hold of the vinyl record.

Then, if you know someone with a "digital" turntable,  it's relatively easy to convert to digital format.

 

If you're not getting anywhere, let me know.

I've been trying to find a downloadable version of this without buying that whole box set.

 

Any advice?
