James Bond covers album released for Children In Need

The BBC Oxford team will release a James Bond tribute album, called A Quantum Of Covers, for this year's BBC Children In Need, reports Last Broadcast.

The album is available to download on iTunes, with all profits (at least 44p out of the 79p cost of each track) going to BBC Children in Need.

It seems nobody can do a Children in Need Event better than BBC Oxford Introducing who have brought together 11 of the best Oxfordshire bands you've never heard of to record their favourite Bond themes for the appeal.

The album includes the likes of former Miss England, Eleanor Glynn, contributing to an industrial electro version of The Living Daylights with Banbury's Sikorski, to Borderville doing a glam-stomp through the Wings classic Live And Let Die.

Talking about the charity project and their choice of theme Nobody Does It Better, David Balch, from Witches said: "I think A Quantum Of Covers is an excellent idea. Bond is an institution and the themes are such iconic songs, it's great to be a part of it. Hopefully it'll raise a load of cash for Children in Need's work with disadvantaged children."
