This is the first series film with John Barry as the primary soundtrack composer. John Barry, arranger of Monty Norman 's `` James Bond Theme '' for Dr. No, would be the dominant Bond series composer for most of its history and the inspiration for fellow series composer, David Arnold ( who uses cues from this soundtrack in his own for Tomorrow Never Dies ). The theme song was composed by Lionel Bart of Oliver ! fame and sung by Matt Monro. Contents 1 Production 2 Album and cover versions 3 Track listing 4 Outside the Film 5 See also 6 Notes 7 References Production Following the decision of the producers not to use Monty Norman, though keeping his `` James Bond Theme '', Harry Saltzman decided on using the then popular Lionel Bart of Oliver ! fame. Bart was unable to read or write music, but he offered to compose the music and lyrics for a title song to the film. The producers chose John Barry to score the film. Barry had not only arranged and conducted the `` James Bond Theme '' from the previous film, but had already scored some films such as Beat Girl and Never Let Go. Barry 's group also charted at No. 13 in the November 1962 UK charts with a different arrangement of the Bond theme from that heard in the film. The title song was sung by Matt Monro. Monro 's vocal version is played during the film ( as source music on a radio ) and properly over the film 's end titles. The title credit music is a lively instrumental version of the tune preceded by a brief Barry - composed `` James Bond is Back '' then segueing into the `` James Bond Theme ''. On the original film soundtrack, Alan Haven played a jazzy organ over the theme but this version was not released on the soundtrack album. The tune also appears in a soft string arrangement as a theme for Tania. In Germany, the original release featured an end title track cover version called Die Wolga ist Weit sung by Ruthe Berlé. Originally planning to use local Turkish music as Norman had used Jamaican music on Dr No, Barry accompanied the film crew to Istanbul, however he found nothing suitable for the film. Recalling his visit to Istanbul, John Barry said, `` It was like no place I 'd ever been in my life. ( The Trip ) was supposedly to seep up the music, so Noel Rogers and I used to go ' round to these nightclubs and listen to all this stuff. We had the strangest week, and really came away with nothing, except a lot of ridiculous stories. We went back, talked to Lionel, and then he wrote ' From Russia with Love. ' ' There are different tracks of Turkish - type music in the film that do not appear on the soundtrack ( the track `` Leila Dances '' is not heard in the film ). In this film, Barry introduced the percussive `` 007 '' that came to be considered the ' secondary James Bond Theme '. Barry 's instrumental group The John Barry Seven had had a UK chart hit with a cover version of Elmer Bernstein 's The Magnificent Seven ; both that tune and `` 007 '' featured seven beats. It is used in various Bond films starring Sean Connery and also in Moonraker, starring Roger Moore. The arrangement appears twice on this soundtrack album ; the second version, titled `` 007 Takes the Lektor '', is the one used during the gunfight at the gypsy camp and also during Bond 's theft of the Lektor decoding machine ( the soundtrack album version is not heard in the film ). The completed film features a holdover from Norman 's Dr. No music -- the post-rocket - launch music from Dr. No ( after Bond disrupts Dr. No 's attempts to jam the takeoff ) appears in From Russia with Love at the conclusion of the helicopter attack, and also at SPECTRE 's attempt to intercept Bond 's speedboat. This cue is absent from the From Russia with Love soundtrack album. The original Barry arrangement of the `` James Bond Theme '' for Dr. No was inserted by the producers in the film when Bond searches his room in Istanbul for microphones. Barry did a new arrangement of the theme used when Bond leaves London and flies into Istanbul titled `` James Bond with Bongos '' that Billy Strange did a cover version of for the US charts. Barry noted that Bart 's lyrics used the film 's title, but had nothing to do with the film 's story, a matter he would rectify when he was assigned the next Bond film, 1964 's Goldfinger, which was the first Bond film for which he had total creative control over the soundtrack, including the theme song 's music ( Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley would contribute the theme 's lyrics ). Barry 's `` Stalking '', the music for the pre-credit sequence, is echoed by composer Marvin Hamlisch in his score for the 1977 Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me. Album and cover versions The soundtrack 's original recordings are thought to be lost and did not appear when the Bond soundtrack albums were issued in remastered form on CD. The album is different from the film with the album 's recording of the main titles sounding slower and not featuring the organ played by Alan Haven. Several tracks on the album do not appear in the completed film. The album was the last of the Bond soundtrack albums to feature more than the usual six tracks per record side. The soundtrack album reached No. 28 on the Variety charts in March 1964 with the title song becoming Unart Music 's most recorded song. Other cover versions of the `` James Bond Theme '' were also released to coincide with the film. Barry also released different cover versions of the title song and `` 007 '' on his Ember records for the pop charts. The Roland Shaw Orchestra performed cover versions of most of the music of Barry 's soundtrack on several albums.

It went on to be used in other Group W stations in Boston, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and San Francisco for their newscasts. Two years later, `` 007 Takes The Lektor '' would be recycled for further Bond use, in the autogyro scene in You Only Live Twice.
