Octopussy is the soundtrack for the eponymous thirteenth James Bond film. The score was composed by John Barry, the lyrics by Tim Rice. The opening theme, "All Time High," is sung by Rita Coolidge and is one of six Bond film title songs or songs that are not named after film's title.[1]

The original compact disc released in 1985, by A&M Records, was recalled because of a printing error, and became a rarity.[citation needed] In 1997, the soundtrack was released, by Rykodisc, with the original soundtrack music and some film dialogue, (additional tracks, No. 3, No. 7, and No. 10 seen below) on an Enhanced CD version. The 2003 release, by EMI, restored the original soundtrack music sans dialogue. In 2023 La La Land Records release a 2 disc expanded edition of the score.

The original music video of "All Time High" shows Rita Coolidge in very soft focus in what appears to be an Indian palace, but which is actually one of the film's locations, the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, England.
