My Bloody Valentine’s gorgeous James Bond cover


 
My Bloody Valentine’s lovely, restrained rendition of Hal David and John Barry’s “We Have All The Time in the World” was recorded for Island Records’ Peace Together charity compilation for the youth of Northern Ireland in 1993.
 

 
The song, of course, was originally made famous by Louis Armstrong and comes from the soundtrack to the 1969 James Bond movie On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. The film was the only Bond film to star Australian model George Lazenby as 007.
 

 
Considering how notoriously unproductive MBV have proven to be over the years, I wonder if there’s a bit of irony in the group choosing this song, in particular, to record when they did (soon after leaving Creation Records being the context I refer to). Some Internet sources claim that’s actually Kevin Shields singing, but I don’t think so. If it is him, well, he’s channeling Bilinda here quite successfully, I’d say.
