007 soundtrack documentation on region 2 AVTAK  DVD release
 

The region 2 DVD "A View To A Kill"  which was released in Germany on 08 February contains an approx. 21 minutes long  documentation on 007 soundtracks which is called "The Bond Sound - The Music of 007" (German title:  "Der Bond Sound - Die Musik von 007", Spanish title: " "El Sonido De Bond - La Musica de 007"). The documentation shows the development of the bond music from "Dr. No" to "The World Is Not Enough" by telling  various interesting facts on the single soundtracks.It includes interview with singers and composers like John Barry, Monty Norman, Bill Conti, David Arnold, Shirley Bassey, Carly Simon, Duran Duran, Nanc Sinatra and also interviews with several film makers like director John Glen. 

The highly informative documenation is only included in English language but there are subtitles in German and Spanish language.

As previously reported the US DVD release (2000 ) of "The living daylights" also includes a featurette on the James Bond soundtracks - maybe  that's the same?
