Here is Death Of Trueblood, as best as I can clean it up.

Nice work vzok. ;-)

@vzok - you should try to do the film edit of "Circus, Circus" with the wild hits (drumrolls) and all. (they were omitted due to CD space issues, according to Kendall)

I've found the recent update on the final film version of "Diamonds Are Forever" over at Chrono-Scores and it says you have to edit it and combine it with the Casino music. Mind you, it's been a while since I've seen the film, so I'm 70% sure if this is accurate and my 50th anniversary blu-ray box set are tucked away at storage somewhere (as much as I love the score, the film is on par with "Golden Gun" for me: great Barry score, way too camp/silly of a movie at best). This is what's written on here (http://chrono-score.blogspot.com/2009/04/diamonds-are-forever.html):

S4 - Circus, Circus (:00-1:01) [Combine]
S21 - Additional and Alternate Cues (1:07-5:02) [Combine and retain the name "Circus, Circus"]

However, I think KaFaraqGatri made the right choice by separating "Circus, Circus" and the Dixieland source cue, as it makes for a better listening experience.

I knew Circus Circus was on the CD, so never thought beyond that. I'll have a look at it again.

A pity removing the sfx interupts the music flow somewhat, but good work under the circumstances. Hope FRWL fares better, but I understan it's hard to work with all the fx. Thanks!

OK, this was another attempt at that Three Blind Mice track

Yes, we started looking into it a few months ago. It's proving tough, though.

Can anyone provide me with any Moonraker material? OST, expanded, complete, whatever. I don't have that score at all.... :/

Hi DAKoftheOTA,

Here is the Moonraker complete score. Some tracks are from KFG first edition and other are from gkgyver own conception.

I can up my copy of Moonraker if it's still requested. Mine is a mish mash of Kafaraq's version, tracks from the OST, and some of Gkgyver's rerecordings. The Gkgyver stuff is only 192 kbps and was ripped from youtube.

If nothing else, it's a nice placeholder until Kafaraq gets his latest edition uploaded. It appears he is saving the best scores for last :)

Here's my copy of Moonraker:

Such delight. Thank you so much!

Anaximander - I've got plenty of those - as well as others you didn't include (e.g. TSWLM) and more expanded versions (e.g. QOS - 2 hours and 47 minutes, etc) in FLAC. Let me know if you're interested!

I'd be curious to see what you have for Moonraker and TSWLM. I have Kafaraq's last version of TSWLM, padded out with some really low quality rips from someone else's TSWLM expansion.

TSWLM - I'm talking about Twiller's version. 45:29 over 22 tracks, half of which in stunning true lossless version, the other half I would call it satisfying enough.

Check out the other posts in his series, all perfect quality FLACs, broken cue by cue and carefully ordered the way they do in the films.

Apart of that, I also got Bacharach's Casino Royale in what seems to be a complete form (1:03:40 over 40 tracks; lossless), TWINE (with 15 minutes of beautiful underscore and extras that your version misses; all lossless), Arnold's Casino Royale (lossless) and QOS (stunning lossless). The latter is an especially interesting one. Doing a side-by-side comparison with KaFaraqGatri's version, the one I have has 40 minutes more, no duplicates whatsoever.

Moonraker? still no, using your 39-track version lol

Trying to get DAD's complete in lossless now. Any chance you have it?

If you want to post links or samples from these supposed lossless beauties, I’ll probably be able to tell you right away how legit they are. I have my suspicions on the sources but it’s impossible to verify without hearing them.

I just have the Kafaraq DAD in 320 kbps. No flac, sorry.

Wouldn't mind hearing Twiller's TSWLM and the Bacharach CR expansion, although I'm always skeptical of any TSWLM expansions due to the lack of film version cues on the OST. All anyone can really do is an approximate version. Shame MGM didn't pony up the money for Kendall to do that one and Golden Gun. Kafarq's version is the best I've heard so far and he didn't have the best material to work with.

...Arnold's Casino Royale (lossless) and QOS (stunning lossless). The latter is an especially interesting one. Doing a side-by-side comparison with KaFaraqGatri's version, the one I have has 40 minutes more, no duplicates whatsoever.

Naturally I haven't your tracklist to go off, but your Quantum of Solace sound's a lot like the first 46 tracks or so off of the two-disc Bond Records bootleg that was released a number of years ago (which, despite being pressed, was partially lossless with tracks from iTunes added to bump up the running time). From that album, if you take away David Arnold's score (all of which is found on the commercial album with some tracks split up to increase the number of tracks), Four Tet's remix (iTunes), the title song (instrumental and vocal from the CD single) you're left with about 42 mins of opera source music, songs by Jaime Cuadra, Wyclef Jean, Nickenson Prudhomme, the Columbia Pictures logo music(!) and three unrelated tracks by Antonio Pinto. None of these Pinto tracks appear in the film and are lifted from the Lord of War soundtrack for some truly bizarre reason. There isn't even 40 minutes of score missing from the soundtrack album.

Casino Royale (the 'deluxe edition' download version that first appeared on iTunes) was later released on Qobuz in lossless but even this version is missing some minor cues (including a rewrite of at least one cue). Perhaps your version is the same as this? Again, just pondering since you haven't posted anything like tracklists or samples yet. For all I know you have the proper recording sessions!

if anyone likes Radiohead's Spectre then I recommend their album A Moon Shaped Pool and the song "Pyramid Song"

Actually I'm not sure how it works. Other than ripping mysterious bootleg CDs which are sometimes available for purchase and/or ripping whatever's possible from the Blu-ray films and doing clean-ups, I always assumed the sources hack the studios' mixing computers or somehow get those rarities through contacts. Is it not how it's done?

I analyzed it, yes. Among the source music provided, there's 8 underscore cues by Arnold that your version currently misses. That's 17 minutes of music. See tracklist below. Feel free to send me a PM.



Regarding Pinto's music, according to Jon Burlingame, there's one Pinto source music that "can barely be heard during Bond and Leiter's bar rendezvous", I haven't found the time to see why the expanded version has two such tracks.

For TWINE we are talking about one cue that's currently missing from your version, 'Bilbao Bank' at a duration of 2:38 (including the gunbarrel music). The rest is a beautiful suite and an all-instrumental version of the theme song. Couldn't yet track the source/s of those two.

I DL'ed Twiller's expansion of TSWLM. It is still missing a lot, like some pre-credits music, etc. I'm not trying to dump on Twiller's hard work, but I'll probably stick with the current expansion I have and wait until Kafaraq uploads his next version.

Thanks, astondo. As I suspected, the Quantum of Solace and Casino Royale tracklists you posted match the contents of the Bond Records releases of Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. Neither release contains any additional David Arnold score that is missing from the commercial releases (for example, the film version of Aston Montenegro or the bar escape cue from Quantum of Solace).

QUANTUM OF SOLACE

The running times of each double-disc album are padded out with source music, bonus tracks from other composers/films and some of the original album tracks are split up to increase the track count (Miami International and Time To Get Out, for instance). Quantum of Solace release has the end credit music which is not on the commercial CD (Arnold's rearrangement of the James Bond theme), but the creators of the CD made it by cutting together the first part of The Name's Bond...James Bond from CR and pasting it with a DVD rip of the QoS credits beginning after Bond fires at the camera in order to remove the sound effect.

I think you're confusing Arnold's CR with Bacharach's. Here I was only referring to Bacharach's 1967 score. I haven't yet compared the 3 expansions/complete versions of Arnold's 2006 CR.


The running times of each double-disc album are padded out with source music, bonus tracks from other composers/films and some of the original album tracks are split up to increase the track count.

Regarding QOS, I highlighted in yellow the differences from your release, not at all relating to track names or count but the actual music inside. All the yellowed tracks contain underscore, including by Arnold (that is, tracks 16, 17, 24 from CD 1 and 1,3, 8, 10, 19 and 21 from CD 2), that your expansion does not include. Am I wrong? - Sent you a PM.

I think you're confusing Arnold's CR with Bacharach's.

Look again at the Discogs link for Casino Royale. The Bond Records pressing has tracks from the 1967 version as bonus tracks, tracks 8 to 40 on disc 2, precisely as your iTunes screen cap shows.

Sadly, yes. Not only does your screen cap show that some of these yellow tracks are not by Arnold at all (it lists the proper song title and artists for a few of them) but the content of those tracks is as follows:

- Port-Au-Prince Piers = "Zamni" by Nickenson Prud'homme (as your screenshot shows)
- Tosca Aria Performance/Opera Intermezzo/Leaving The Show And Shootout = Opera source music by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra
- Greene Party Planet = "Regresa" by Jaime Cuadra
- Cocktail Camille = "A Morte" by Antonio Pinto (from the film Senna)
- Confrontation Course = "By Air" by Antonio Pinto (from the film Lord of War)
- The Demise Of Rene Mathis = "Forgive Yourself" on the Quantum of Solace OST
- Felix and James = Another Jaime Cuadra track, but I forget which one
- Greene Arrives at Perla De Las Dunas = First 93 seconds of "Perla de las Dunas" on the Quantum of Solace OST
- The Name is Bond = Taken from the Casino Royale OST
- Trailer Music = Casino Royale trailer music by Pfeifer Broz. Music

As I said, these discs pad out the running time and split up tracks to make them look longer or more complete. For lovers of Arnold's score, there is nothing new here at all, but for those who enjoyed the source music in QoS or the 1967 CR score by Bacharach, you're in for a treat.

Bro, PM me with a CR 67 link if you got it

Interesting analysis.

Also, yay for more people who loves "Moonraker". That film is not as bad as others makes it out to be. It was actually pretty enjoyable, in my opinion. Plus, the Ken Adam space set and John Barry's score were the highlights for me.

I'm also into Moonraker. Maybe my favourite Bond-film after Thunderball and On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

While it's certainly cheesy on some levels it also features excellent and even lovely photography - just watch the beginning at the French castle or the scenes in Venice. The effects and model work by Derek Meddings put some aspects of Star Wars to shame - especially since it was done WAY cheaper. And don't forget if you watch the shuttles launch: at that time THERE HAD NOT BEEN A SHUTTLE LAUNCH WITH THE BOOSTER ROCKETS YET! (That happened in 1983.) Even so they show it very accurately!

Also not to forget the excellent set design! The space station alone is magnificent! And you have John Barry's score, which was only topped by The Black Hole, my favourite score by this composer.

Glad to see another one that appreciates Moonraker for what it is. :)


And you have John Barry's score, which was only topped by The Black Hole, my favourite score by this composer.

Agreed. I loved his score for Moonraker because it's really great. For me, as far as Barry goes, I loved "Diamonds Are Forever", "Robin and Marion", "Somewhere in Time" (I kid you not, one listen at this score, you'll be running down with all kinds of emotions), "The Lion In Winter", "Moonraker", "The Black Hole", "The Living Daylights", "A View to a Kill", "Octopussy", "You Only Live Twice", "Dances with Wolves", "Out of Africa" and "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". I won't lie and say that I also loved his early Bonds such as "From Russia with Love" and "Goldfinger" as well, because it cemented him with the series and gave the series its own musical identity. (though that's not to discredit Norman, Martin, Kamen, Conti, Serra and Hamlisch respectfully)

"Thunderball"...hmmm. I like his score for that, but I don't love it at the same time. I can't place it right now as to why I'm in the middle with that...

Reading Wikipedia about the Thunderball sessions, it sounds like a complete nightmare, especially giving the amount of time the score was recorded and released abridged, etc....

Does anybody have kafaraqgatri's old versions of TSWLM Moonraker and LTK

First, I want to say thank you, KaFaraqGatri, for excellent work! Secondly, hello everyone, i'm new on this forum :)

I came here desperately looking for The Spy Who Loved Me expanded soundtrack here :) 2 tracks in particular, a different version of Bond 77, and one track that plays when the submarine is coming out of the ship. It's very sad how the official soundtrack is missing a lot of them (yet there are several versions of the main theme).

Thanks :) There's another slightly different version though, here (WARNING, SPOILER): https://youtu.be/gWOhH4eI7vs?t=1m8s (basically a slightly different ending of the original Bond 77). It's very short but it sound really good to me. Another one i'm looking for is in this scene: https://youtu.be/GWtvk-_Oj7U?t=1m11s

will you be getting the score to the game Agent Under Fire? Or any 8 bit/16bit era scores?

Just lovely. Thank you!

Happy Thanksgiving! It's the time of the year for Bond marathons again

Happy Thanksgiving! It's the time of the year for Bond marathons again

Definitely it is and for Bond music marathons too!

I think "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" is best this time of year or "The World Is Not Enough".

Yes, good autumn/winter music there. What do you think is good summer Bond music? Live and Let Die?

Licence to Kill - all that Spanish guitar work!

Licence to Kill - all that Spanish guitar work!

indeed. I'd also add "Bond Arrives in Rio" and Quantum of Solace.

La-La Land just announced a 2-CD edition of Die Another Day (https://www.facebook.com/lalalandrecords/posts/10156097038878755), available beginning Tuesday, November 28th at noon, PST. As an added bonus, that horrible Madonna song doesn't appear to be included, haha.

What wonderful news!

Great news, not just for DAD, but that it opens up the possibility of such labels being interested in producing other Bond soundtracks.

Even though TWINE is my favourite Arnold score, DAD did have some really good bits here and there. So, here's to hoping the other Bond scores get complete expansions! :)

indeed. I'd also add "Bond Arrives in Rio" and Quantum of Solace.

Great news - but doesn't the existing expanded release of Die Another Day contain most of the music from the film anyway?

Wow. I certainly hope this means more Bond scores are being expanded. A glimmer of hope that the powers that be are finally hearing the fans and expanding the remaining scores. God I hope they tackle the Moore films, LtK, and Goldeneye.

Is the DAD expansion going to be the complete score, I wonder?

I’m guessing the most likely expansions would be Golden Gun and Brosnan era stuff but I hope tapes turn up for Moonraker, Octopussy, and AVTAK. I am skeptical any tapes have survived for the early Connery scores though.

I just saw this mentioned else where as well
http://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=123921&forumID=1&archive=0

This is mega!!! It might be DAD but its the first time since the late 90's that a Bond score has been released through one of the smaller less official labels and is legit!

I don't mind the score either and it will now be great to finally hear in lossless.

On the one hand I am not holding my breath for expansions of the older scores.

However, this release is pretty huge for a couple obvious reasons. It has opened the floodgates of interest and possibility. There has always been a lot of interest in expanded Bond scores on the web, but before this, it was confined to mostly hopeless musings on message boards. People hoped one of the smaller score labels would be able to get their hands on a Bond score rights, but it was always just a fleeting hope. Until now. Now, it shows us it is possible, barring the dreaded event that tapes have been destroyed or lost. So even if the labels like La-La Land have a difficult time securing the rights to other Bond scores, we can rest assured that demand for other expansions has just increased tenfold. Also, if this sells well (and I imagine it will), perhaps the powers that be (EoN, MGM, whoever else holds rights to the older scores) will see that further expansions are feasible and perhaps get the wheels rolling. I am so ecstatic today. It is appearing now to be not a matter of IF, but only a matter of WHEN we will see further releases of expanded Bond scores.

Again, not holding my breath, but if smaller, dedicated labels are now involved, perhaps someone who cares enough will take the time to pursue other official expansions.

It says that this release comes from La-La Land, EON and MGM. The fact that they have given this release the go ahead gives some hope that they might do again in the future. It may also mean that they might be more agreeable to a re-recording of Moonraker.

However @Anaximander, I am holding my breath for the 90s-2010s scores. My guesses are "The World Is Not Enough", "GoldenEye" (with Altman's tank music included and the Tiger explosion music), "Casino Royale", "Quantum of Solace" and "Skyfall" (maybe "SPECTRE" too, but I liked Newman's "Skyfall" more, but that's just me). I'm not worried about "Tomorrow Never Dies" because I could just play my blu-ray's isolated score and I'm all set, though a 2-CD would be nice when I'm on the go, etc.

For the older scores, I would like a redo of "The Living Daylights", "Diamonds are Forever" (2-CD) and "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (2-CD. I love that ice rink music). Maybe this means we'll get an official expanded score of "Licence To Kill" for the first time. Gorgeous Spanish guitar music by Kamen and THAT gunbarrel music. Then there's "The Man With The Golden Gun" that needs to be expanded because the master tapes are still there and I *believe* the tapes to "The Spy Who Loved Me" are still around.


It may also mean that they might be more agreeable to a re-recording of Moonraker.

I hope so too. I would love to hear what wonders Nic Raine would do with this magnificent John Barry score.

This is an incredible collection, thanks for sharing it!

For all we know The Moonraker tapes are still floating around somewhere

I don’t think anyone ever bothered to actually look for them


Anyway, EoN is apparently watching this one closely so if it sells well, we may see more expanded Bond in 2018

https://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=123921&forumID=1&archive=0

I hope for TWINE and GoldenEye next. TND, Licence to Kill, and TSWLM would be great, if the latter still exists.

I hope to god it sells well... foir EON to allow this would be huge... I also read over at FSM that a Moonraker re-recording is also on the cards but is being looked at by Nic Raine

I'm not worried about "Tomorrow Never Dies" because I could just play my blu-ray's isolated score and I'm all set

Sadly, the isolated score is not a true representation of Arnold's original work. A lot of dipped cues, bad edits, tracking, missing alternates, etc.

From LLL on the FSM monthly board, regarding Die Another Day:

"Eon is looking closely at this release and it's pending success. If this does well, 2018 is gonna be looking up!"

Oh my...

EVERYBODY BUY IT!!!

A day one purchase for me. I hope all fans of the series' music do the same.

Just as interesting, from the same post:

"I can honestly say I was turned down by Madonna! :)"

Honestly, I'm genuinely surprised she passed up any chance for exposure nowadays.

Die Another Day was the first Bond score I purchased. I will definitely be ordering this at 3PM sharp Tuesday afternoon along with Titanic.

I don't understand all the hate for the theme song. I'm no Madonna fan, but I love it. It's not bad at all. Another Way to Die, anyone??

I don't understand all the hate for the theme song. I'm no Madonna fan, but I love it. It's not bad at all. Another Way to Die, anyone??

Same here. I don't get the hate either. Possible guesses for the hate is because the theme song is not "Goldfinger", "Diamonds Are Forever", "Nobody Does It Better", "Moonraker", "All Time High", "Licence to Kill", "For Your Eyes Only", "You Only Live Twice" or "GoldenEye". Trust me, there are worst Bond songs out there and the one you've mentioned is the only one I could think of ("Another Way to Die").

I'm just wondering how people felt when songs like "Live and Let Die", "A View to a Kill", "The Living Daylights" or "Thunderball" were themes at the time? I could imagine the same reaction as to "that's not a Bond theme...,etc.", because it was a radical shift in how the times and music were quickly evolving and no one would've considered Tom Jones, a-ha, Duran Duran or Paul McCartney & Wings to be sophisticated for Bond.

The song is not the worst. It’s listenable. I particularly like the remix version. Chances are no one will be buying the expansion just for the Madonna song, as multiple versions are readily available elsewhere anyway. And I’m guessing any die hard Bond score fans already have this song anyway

Speaking strictly for myself & my own tastes, I can say that "Another Way To Die" felt like it at least had some kind of connection to the character of Bond (or perhaps more to the actor, Daniel Craig,) in that it had a kind of menace to its sound. It definitely had the swagger that I associate with Craig. Then, Jack White opens his mouth & it loses a step. Alicia Keyes' impromptu lines also do the song no favors. Despite that, the music itself feels like it's been written specifically to represent the recklessness of Bond's character at that time. It most likely would've been much better with another vocalist / lyricist.

"Die Another Day" feels like it has absolutely zero connection to Bond on any level whatsoever. It feels like the result of the producers wanting to have Madonna appear in the movie, but she won't do it unless she gets to record the main title song. Mind you, I have no idea about the circumstances surrounding her involvement. For all I know, Barbara Broccoli may have asked her outright to perform the song & then the cameo came later. Whatever the case, the song feels completely disconnected to the world it's supposed to be showcasing. It only works as background music in the Ice Lounge, and that's not something that deserves to be put front and center of a Bond film.

As for other Bond songs, I've rarely had a problem with them. The only other songs that caused a ripple would be "You Know My Name", which was probably the biggest tonal shift in main themes that I'd experienced at the time (though it quickly became one of my all-time favorites once I'd seen the movie,) and "Writing's On The Wall", which really should not have been sung by Sam Smith. The song itself is fine, he just wasn't the one to pull off the vocal performance.

The rest of the "lesser" songs are really just that to me: the lesser songs. "Man With The Golden Gun", "Tomorrow Never Dies", "License To Kill", "All Time High", etc. But they've "earned" that status by not aging well. They still felt right when I heard them in the title sequence, but they don't hold up. "Die Another Day" was an affront from the get-go, at least to me.

I don't understand all the hate for the theme song. I'm no Madonna fan, but I love it. It's not bad at all. Another Way to Die, anyone??

I like it too. I mean, it's obviously not a classic but I like dance music generally and it's electronic style complimented the score very well.

What is the release date and time for this album? I'm in!

You mean Die Another Day? It goes on sale today at 12pm PST and is limited to 5000 units.

Thanks for that, K!

I bet it sells out fast. I hope it does. It's really not a bad score and while it seems an odd choice for the (presumably) first in a round of new expansions, it makes perfect sense EoN and the specialty labels would go with DAD, when you think about it. The original album presentation was sorely lacking and 007 music fans have been lamenting this fact for years. Second, if the score for a minor Brosnan outing (and an oft-loathed one at that) sells well, then there should be no question any subsequent expansion will do well. This release is most certainly a testing ground to decide whether further releases are worth the time, money and trouble. Thinking about ordering myself a copy today.

If state of existing OSTs is a determining factor in the order of expansions, then I hope the release schedule will see LtK, Golden Gun, Goldeneye, TSWLM and any other Moore era scores (assuming the tapes can be located and cleaned up) tackled next. I think the already expanded scores (thunderball, yolt, ohms, daf, lald, fyeo, tld, tnd) should take lowest priority, as we already have most of the music available for those film scores. Although it would be nice to see them get a proper presentation with cues sequenced in film order. Also, it would be pretty grand to buildup to 2disc presentations of thunderball and OHMSS as the final releases, the jewels in the bond score crown. Or in the very least, perhaps we can get a "rest of" collection akin to that 50th anniversary Star Trek set where they could assemble odds and ends that didn't fit on the 2003 expansions--perhaps toss in extras like the single versions of YOLT and Goldfinger and the 12 inch single of AVTAK as a selling point, although I'd be just as happy if title songs were left off future expansions, since they're already available on a ton of Bond compilations

Have I got the time conversion wrong? I thought Die Another Day would be up by now.

EDIT: I see from their Facebook page it's PST not EST, so there's another hour and 20 odd minutes or so. "And counting..."

Sorry about that - corrected!

I did my duty and purchased a copy!

A day one purchase for me. I hope all fans of the series' music do the same.

Purchase done. Hope to receive it in France for Christmas.

Need to beg the wife to let me order this one before it sells out. And I have a feeling it will go fast. Probably one of the biggest releases from LaLaLand since the TOS box set.

A day one purchase for me. I hope all fans of the series' music do the same.

I've done my duty KaFaraqGatri and ordered mines as well! Seriously, this has been a long wait in the making. :)

It really isn't a bad score. I haven't heard an Arnold score that I haven't liked (Bond or otherwise), despite if the film was good or not.

We'll probably see more of the Brosnan era scores, mainly the oft requested Tomorrow Never Dies and The World Is Not Enough from Arnold and Serra's GoldenEye (especially with Altman's tank chase cue). I'd love to see Licence to Kill and The Man with the Golden Gun someday too, but again, we'll see how the sales of Die Another Day does. We'll probably (and I'm just guessing, since I think it's going with what's the most requested and what's "big"), see Craig-era scores (Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall and SPECTRE, though in the case of CR, it was offered as an iTunes exclusive deluxe purchase).

I've just ordered my copy as well. I must admit, I didn't think I'd find myself spending �35 for a CD in the year 2017, but there we go! As has been commented, if they're looking closely at the number of sales this release gets, it is our duty to purchase it in the hope of LaLaLand releasing more scores in the future.

I'm not a huge fan of the score (it's my least favourite of Arnold's; the use of the Bond theme in every action sequence feels lazy and the techno stuff has dated pretty badly), but if it paves the way for future releases of scores we all really cherish and which desperately need an expansion, then I'm obviously all for it.

Purchased as soon as it was available and hoping for more, more Moore!

Fully agreed. After all these years, us fans should be making every effort to buy this title, especially if it means we get more next year. Incidentally, it's my least favorite of Arnold's scores too but that doesn't mean I think it is bad. I remember being so disappointed with the album that I ripped the front channels from the 5.1 mix, complete with sound effects, just to hear the unreleased cues. How far we have come 15 years later. It's incredible. Hats off to La-La Land for making this happen and here's to many more. Well done all you Bond fans here who purchased it.

Fully agreed. After all these years, us fans should be making every effort to buy this title, especially if it means we get more next year.

Completely true, KFG. If you are a true 007 and a 007 music fan, you need to buy this!

For myself actually and I believe for a lot of Bond Afficionados, this is one of the least favorite 007 scores, but there are always bits and pieces in it that makes it good anyway :-)

The same for the movie, it is one of, maybe THE worst in the series, but if it wasn't for DAD, we wouldn't had Daniel Craig and Casino Royale or the complete reboot neither. Everything happens for a reason! ;-)

Thank god, that David Arnold was not taken for granted and still had the opportunity to do CR and QOS and nailed it, in my opinion. Hopefully one day, he will get another chance to do one more.

Worth the purchase if it increases the chance of a TMWTGG official expansion in the near future. There's also a double demand for Barry expansions these days, as much of his work still remains sadly unexpanded or in some cases the original masters have been lost or damaged :(

---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 AM ----------

I wouldn't mind another Arnold score. I think he was maturing by the the time of QoS and it was nice to hear him abandon the techno stuff a bit and move more in a traditional Barryesque direction. Night at the Opera is possibly my favorite non-Barry Bond cue. It has a real '007 and counting' vibe.

Hopefully one day, he will get another chance to do one more.

Yes, definitely. Not to put down Thomas Newman, who is good, but Arnold needs to make a big comeback.

I also don't mind Harry or Rupert Gregson-Williams, Henry Jackman, Rachel Portman, Micachu (Mica Levi), Lesley Barber or Marco Beltrami to have a different take with the franchise as well, but I do miss David Arnold.

Hi some of the links don't seem to work could you repair them or let me know how I can get a copy.

Many thanks

So who in here has the new expanded "Die Another Day" from the mail? :D

I know I've did and let me say that it's Bondtastic! The remastering, the expanded score of it all. I really do hope the numbers continues to rise, just to show EON and LLLR and pray that there will be further expansions in the future.

I really hope some jackhole doesn't post their copy the second it arrives. It NEEDS to sell a sufficient amount.

Thank you for this thread! Can't wait for my LaLaLand order to arrive...

Yeah, I would hate to draw negative attention to the forums. Next thing we know LLL will be off limit here, and eventually we might not be able to share any Bond stuff.

Thank you!

I just saw this mentioned else where as well
http://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=123921&forumID=1&archive=0

This is mega!!! It might be DAD but its the first time since the late 90's that a Bond score has been released through one of the smaller less official labels and is legit!

I don't mind the score either and it will now be great to finally hear in lossless.

Ordered!!! I can not wait for it to arrive <3 <3 <3 :)

Mine's arrived! It'll have to wait awhile before a listen :-(

This release will be shared eventually, but for now I echo the sentiments that we should avoid posting it, and see if LLL/EON can be tempted into releasing further, hopefully (in the fullness of time) harder to find tracks on scores like Moonraker and Spy as has been noted.

Mine arrived on Monday (super quick) and having listened to it a few times, it sounds to me like an improved mix over the unofficial release. Lots more detail on instruments and a cleaner listen. Well worth picking up (even aside from encouraging LLL to move on to the next release).

Just bolding these with emphasis as I think it needs to be stressed enough that everyone should avoid posting it, because again, it needs to sell and we have to see what surprises lies in store for LLL/MGM/EON for 2018 when it comes to Bond music (or any other film scores for the matter).

I know it's going to fall into deaf ears and people will share Die Another Day, but we have to treat this the same way we treat anything by VS or 20th Century FOX, because it needs to sell.

I think we're all on the same page that it shouldn't be posted, and so far I haven't seen anyone wining for it. Yet, anyway. Hopefully it stays that way.

Perhaps the mods could be persuaded to implement a temporary ban on sharing this release. Until it sells out, or until the new year, in the very least. The powers that be are far less likely to complain if people are sharing an out-of-print score, however if they feel it is cutting into their sales, then, well, I'm sure many of you remember the whole shitstorm that led to FSM scores being banned at this forum. I would really hate to see something similar happen with LLL. The sooner someone posts it, the more likely LLL is to notice and make a fuss. I certainly would if I were the CEO of that label.

Just a quick note, DAD is not actually permitted to be posted here as the film was distributed by 20th Century Fox Fox. Music from films distributed by 20th Century Fox are banned from being posted here. So if it does get shared, it should be reported (similarly to how Varese releases get taken down). I only just learned this recently and took down my links - ironically, just a few days before LLL made their announcement about its release.

Any crossfades we should be aware of?

Hey guys, can any UK purchasers recommend the best place to get this from price-wise? I'm currently rather the skint bastard! Cheers.

Mine ordered the first minute available and also arrived this Monday in Brussels, Belgium. :-)

Interesting to read in the booklet that David Arnold shared his own set of 1/2" analog stereo tapes to be transferred to high-res 96/24 digital specifically for this release.

That sucks... majorly. I was hoping that if LLR sold enough and confirmed it, someone would post their set on here. Or even r u tracker.

I always thought MGM were the only studio in charge of Bond other than EON and United Artists?

Ordered!!! I can not wait for it to arrive <3 <3 <3 :)

Finally got round to it. I'm in the UK so not expecting mine before Christmas now

Just ordered mine from the UK and will let you know when it arrives. It would be fantastic if this is a watershed for further expanded scores to be released. I know an expanded Moonraker would be an unlikely dream for most of us, but a 2-CD OHMSS or TLD could be a realistic ambition! ��

Speaking of OHMSS and apologies for going off at a tangent, but I remember posting about a year ago wondering if anyone had a version of the Swiss source music from OHMSS, the Oompah and Skating music? I have an average version of these but they're not great. I note Lukas Kendall mentioned them in an interview about the 2003 remasters, but preferred understandably to prioritise other tracks (I guess limited to the capacity of a single CD) : http://bondandbeyond.forumotion.com/t761-fsm-back-issues-from-2003-lukas-kendall-on-restoring-the-bond-scores

Any helpful thoughts/pm's much appreciated!

I did not realize that DAD was distributed by 20th century Fox. Very strange. Was this the only Bond film distributed by them?

Also, unrelated, but I believe Fox holds perpetual rights to the first Star Wars, however once the other films transfer over to Disney, that means we can go back to sharing material from them, just not A New Hope. Bummer.

Thanks for this!

Epic share, thanks!

I did not realize that DAD was distributed by 20th century Fox. Very strange. Was this the only Bond film distributed by them?

By far, yes. Internationally, it was released by 20th Century FOX (it was MGM in the USA). As bad as this sounds, I consider it a blessing in disguise, as this means more people will buy the official expanded version.

This is the track I've got for the Ice Rink music. Possibly the same as you have. I think it was a mono source, probably from the DVD audio channels. I did try and clean it up and tidy up the edit a bit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRAlOo97Zpw

So... if a movie originated in the US, and was ... say distributed by Paramount, which is not under block, but by 20th overseas, is the score still blocked here?

Still blocked. Which is why Kingsman 2 didn't show up here and I don't expect to see The Last Jedi here as well when it hits next week.

But....The Last Jedi is Disney. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Fox.

Where did you order it from? Cheers

La-La Land Records

But....The Last Jedi is Disney. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Fox.

Aw nice! :) that's a relief!

So, it’s my understanding Fox holds the distribution rights to A New Hope in perpetuity but that the rights to the other SW films eventually transfer to Disney. At this point, does that mean we can go back to sharing SW sequel and prequel scores?

There is a difference in film rights and music rights. Fox owns the rights to the film A New Hope, but Sony had the rights to the soundtracks until Dec. 31, 2016, at which point they went to Walt Disney Records, which re-released them with new covers.

ugh. I think copyright law is generally very outdated and oppressive.

I've decided to hold off on ordering the La-La Land expanded set. Money's a bit tight this year, but if it's still in stock after the New Year, then I will probably go ahead and order it then.

I've just listened to the LLL DAD CD. Shame they didn't include the film version of 'Gustav Graves Gravitational Entrance', which was more orchestral than the unofficial/LLL version :/

It's not.

Yep, it's unused but I would have much preferred the film version be included, since they went to the trouble to include other film versions of the main score.

Oh well.

Yes, definitely. Not to put down Thomas Newman, who is good, but Arnold needs to make a big comeback.

Some interesting choices;
I'd like to see what James Newton Howard could do (I thought his score of The Tourist was very John Barry) or Alexandre Desplat who has had a tremendous last few years worth of scores

I'm sure any of those would be good choices to score Bond. I could see Zimmer doing a decent job too.

Zimmer better not touch Bond.

I used to think that but then I learned he's a big fan of John Barry. I am sure he would honor his legacy and do something really beautiful.

Sure, for his first score. Then he'd get bored and we'd get 2-3 boring sequels before one of his minions took the reigns.

I think the minions would take over well before the fourth sequel! :D

Zimmer better not touch Bond.

Zimmer isn't good handling/incorporating known themes, remember M:I2... So in that case Danny Elfman would do better in my opinion... And why not Michael Giacchino?

I think the minions would take over well before the fourth sequel! :D

At the rate they are making the 007 movies, Zimmer and most of us here will have expired before the fourth sequel.

I agree, Zimmer better should not touch Bond, I hope Arnold will be back for Bond 25 or if not, Alexandre Desplat will be a good choice...Listen to Largo Winch, sounds pretty Bond to me

If Conti, Hamlisch, and Kamen could do serviceable 007 scores then I'm sure Zimmer could do one. They're not Barry but I respect what all of them brought, they didn't just try to outright copy Barry's style.

has anyone recieved Die Another Day Yet Lala ?

Yes, mine arrived after 10 days from time of postage and i live in Australia.

I would be fine with either of them.

On the new La La Land set of Die Another Day....

which version of "On the Beach" would be the film version? Or is the film version even on this new set? Also, and it's been a while since I've seen it, but isn't the Gunbarrel a separate cue from On the Beach in the film? Can't remember.

Zimmer isn't good handling/incorporating known themes

Um, The Simpsons Movie? Not only is the theme played faithfully, but the whole score sounds like a big version of what you'd usually hear in the show.

I know a lot of people like to harp on Zimmer for repeating himself a lot, but I'm sure if the producers put him in the right place, he would be able to sound respectful to the Bond name. It helps that as others mentioned, there's been odd composers choices in the past, so it's already been established there's been detours. Besides, M:I-2 as a whole is considered the oddball in the series itself, so I'd blame Cruise and the producers before him.

I still not get my copy, but as I understand, first track on disc 1 is combination of 3 tracks from old boot.
So, LLL's "On the Beach" actually is: Gunbarrell/Surf Up/On The Beach. Disc 2, tr. 6 is album version of "On The Beach"

Yes! Zimmer did brilliantly with The Simpsons Movie, it has some beautiful score on there! :)

anyone body going to share this Arnold Classic

got one already

I agree, Zimmer better should not touch Bond, I hope Arnold will be back for Bond 25 or if not, Alexandre Desplat will be a good choice...Listen to Largo Winch, sounds pretty Bond to me

I don�t get what everyone likes about Alexandre Desplat. His scores are the exact same thing like what Michael Giacchino does for his movie scores.
They all just sound so bland and what i really don�t like from this two, are the scores they make, never works without the movie. I just can�t hear any of the music without watching the movie.
And yes, Zimmer would do an amazing job scoring a bond movie. That i�m 100% sure.

Zimmer isn't good handling/incorporating known themes, remember M:I2... So in that case Danny Elfman would do better in my opinion... And why not Michael Giacchino?

Giacchino did a pretty good job in composing Williams-esque in ROGUE ONE! Could be worth it!

anyone body going to share this Arnold Classic

You mean Die Another Day? It can not be shared because it was distributed by Fox internationally (in the states, it's MGM). Plus, I'm hoping that it sold well so that EON/MGM/LLLR can drop another bomb about more expanded Bond scores that really do need expansions ("Licence To Kill" being a holy grail for fans along with "Tomorrow Never Dies", "The World Is Not Enough" and "Skyfall").

----

Not sure what the future entails of the 20th Century Fox rule, as recent news are saying that Disney merged with Fox, methinks to take full ownership of not only Star Wars and it's prequels before 2020 but MCU related stuff (mainly to fix/save properties like X-Men and Fantastic Four, just like how Disney saved the Spider-Man franchise), but that's a different topic altogether and not related to Bond per se, but it's related to Die Another Day the most.

Giacchino did a pretty good job in composing Williams-esque in ROGUE ONE! Could be worth it!

He can do a good job with music. But the CD producers or someone at the Mastering fucks the audio always up, so his CD�s sound always so bland. Remember his soundtrack from MOH: Frontline. The Sound Mastering in this was excellent.

I still not get my copy, but as I understand, first track on disc 1 is combination of 3 tracks from old boot.
So, LLL's "On the Beach" actually is: Gunbarrell/Surf Up/On The Beach. Disc 2, tr. 6 is album version of "On The Beach"

Ah, got it. Thank you!

We're not going to be sharing it, even if it's allowed due to Disney's acquisition of Fox. I don't want to increase chances LLL will no longer allow sharing of their scores here. Just buy it. 30$ is not that bad. Or enjoy the already available bootleg which seems to mostly feature the same material and running order. I'm perfectly happy with the boot version, however I may decide to order this after the new year to help increase chances of future Bond expansions.

Does anybody know exactly what is different in the film version tracks of the new DAD release vs the original ones, thanks.

and btw if this thread has 1000's of posts then surely people would jump at buying a "la la land" BOND release so that they can at least do world is not enough because it is literally a dream of mine to have the whole opening Bilbao sequence that was bloody omitted from the TWINE ost and only happens to feature imo David Arnold's coolest rendition of the bond theme.

Ok so my DAD arrived in the UK on Monday so only took 10 days. It worked out at about �35 GBP according to the credit card bill!

I haven't managed to listen to it all yet but the sound quality on first listen of the first 7 or 8 tracks seems terrific. If you're wondering, the first track does include the gunbarrel.

The booklet is nicely presented and has a long analysis of both the movie and the score. I think they've done a great job. Hopefully this will be the first of many double CD reissues!

Agreed! I love "Snow Business" too, a beautiful track.

Why didn't they include the film version of ''Gustav Graves Grand Entrance'', instead of that noisy techno sound I wonder

And why Intrada didn't include "orchestra only" tracks for Damnation Alley?
Probably same reason here - it was composer original idea to use this "noisy techno sound" (which I actually LOVE, so thanks that LLL didn't drop them!). And it's not his guilt that music editors cut this techno overlays.

Thank you very much for Spectre soundtrack, I've been looking for it quite a while.

Much obliged,
kane

Why didn't they include the film version of ''Gustav Graves Grand Entrance'', instead of that noisy techno sound I wonder

As per Neil S. Bulk on the Intrada forum:

"The stereo tapes were provided by David Arnold and had the electronics mixed in. We discussed this and this is how he wanted it. I'm guessing the orchestra only versions were dub stage decisions. There were two cues that had alternate mixes without the electronics and those are included with the additional material."

Hi guys,

I'll be off-forum till the New Year, so I just wanted to wish you all a happy, blessed, and peaceful holiday. Thank you for your company throughout 2017 and may 2018 be "Bond and Beyond" for us Bond music lovers!

All the best

With all that talk about The Last Jedi having a 54% rotten popcorn score at Rotten Tomatoes, I feel like opening Photoshop and plastering that score onto these Bond films that I'm not too fond of: From Russia With Love (I know fans love this and it's highly ranked among critics, but to me, "Goldfinger" was the zenith of Connery's golden age. The movie can be quite complex at times and rather boring. I love the Barry score! Explain that one to me!), "Thunderball" (good Connery moments and I love Fiona, but the film itself is....rather dire. Plus, there are some plot points that are rather silly, such as a random guy saving Domino for plot purposes and talk about those fast forward moments were the movie's on speed. I'm reading Wikipedia about the film's production and it sounds like a complete nightmare, especially the soundtrack's recording sessions), SPECTRE (kinda disappointing after how pumped up I was from "Skyfall" high, kinda like how I was disappointed with "Quantum" after being high on "Casino Royale". Hope the next film's a big improvement). Moore's "The Spy Who Love Me" doesn't get that plastered on it. It's okay, but watching it again, it's just a middle film. Moore's amazing though and I love the score, but Barbara Bach's wooden and Stromberg is meh. Hadn't McClory stepped into the picture again, we would have gotten Blofeld and SPECTRE.

For the other Moore films, I think fans said what's needed to be said except for "Moonraker", "Octopussy" and "A View to a Kill" because I loved those ("Moonraker" and "A View to a Kill" both gets a bad reputation for being the worst, but if you watch them again, they're not that bad as one makes them out to be. Yes, "A View to a Kill" has Kate Capshaw 2.0 in the form of Tanya Roberts, but Grace Jones and Christoper Walken makes this movie. Plus, it gets very serious at times, though not in the same vein as "For Your Eyes Only"). Same goes for Dalton's two films, that one and only Lazenby film and all of Brosnan's, except "Die Another Day" because oh boy, that film didn't age too well. (I say the same thing for Lucas' "Attack of the Clones" and Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man" from that same year, but the latter is more guilty pleasure and at least honored super hero films such as Richard Donner's "Superman". I can't say the same for "Clones" because of Lucas' poor directing, the misuse of CGI a la "Die Another Day", script writing and wooden acting, save for Ewan's Obi-Wan and I'd wished "Firefly"-era Joss Whedon or someone else at the time was given the job to fix those prequels, but that's a subject for another time and different thread altogether)

Finally it's mine!!!! <3 <3 <3

Zimmer better not touch Bond.

@Cameron007 I don't know if you would be interested or have need but I have the sessions for Captain America: The First Avenger PM me and let me know and if you have something to trade evenly

Waiting for the remaining scores. Would be a great Christmas and New Year present.

I'll patiently wait for them too, but for me, I think "Dr. No" and "The Living Daylights" were the best early Christmas presents along with my official CD copy of the expanded "Die Another Day". :)

Kinda thinking about it, I think we should have a Bond music/movie/etc. channel on the Discord channel and a way to share/talk about the music, talk about the films, etc... *thinks*

Thank you so much.

Happy New Year KFG. Only 3 more film scores remain. Cheers.

Yeah, really looking forward to the last three.

Does anybody have or know where I could find the n64 version of the World Is Not Enough? I used to be able to find a few places where I could download it, but now the only place I can find it is YouTube.

I am working on it :)

Will Nightfire be available to download? I always loved the main menu music.

Hard to scroll through almost 200 pages to find the answer, so I apologize if it's already been answered, but will Never Say Never Again be part of this collection at any time? Or the 1967 comedic Casino Royale?

For the 60's that was what was popular for the time, I love all the Connery, more than I like the new ones.

I would love for David Arnold to return for Bond 25, but if they must go with someone else, don't let Thomas Newman do, unless he guarantees that he won't copy paste the score of Skyfall like he did with Spectre

---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 PM ----------

By the way, does anyone know if there are links for the LLLR extended score of Die Another Day, or is it CD only?

There's information a few pages back about DAD. It's not permitted to be shared here. Besides, every fan should buy a copy to increase the likelihood of their being more expansions released in future! :D

Didn't see that, thanks, I'll put some money aside and try to get a copy of it, not the best David Arnold score, but it is still a must have.

Noted.

not the best David Arnold score, but it is still a must have.

Definitely a must have, I say. While not David's best (that honor belongs to "Tomorrow Never Dies", "Casino Royale" and "The World Is Not Enough"), there are some gems that are worth listening.

I really do hope everyone gets a copy, because this could prove in numbers that there is a demand for future Bond expansions. Personally, I'd like to see "Licence to Kill", "Tomorrow Never Dies", "The World Is Not Enough", "The Man with the Golden Gun", "Octopussy" and "GoldenEye" get expansions ("GoldenEye", just for the John Altman tank cue and the Tiger helicopter explosion cue). I won't hold my breath for "The Spy Who Loved Me" just yet, unless those 24-track tapes are indeed from the film sessions and not the LP re-recording, then yeah.

When will you update the remaining three Bond score's?

LLL has gone out of stock of DAD, which apparently means that the first batch has sold out. Who knows how big that batch is, but I'd guess they were doing the release in two or three batches. That'd mean maybe 2500 sold so far since December.

I thought it was a 5000 copy run. The site says temporarily out of stock. There will definitely be more with the current demand. Which means there will likely be more Bond expansions on the way.

I agree we need to hold off on sharing the LLL edition. At least for a good long while. We don't need that sort of negative attention on this site, which will lead to more restrictions on what can be shared. The labels are definitely aware of this forum and what goes on here.

fan-made expansions and permanently out-of-print scores are different. They're not readily accessible via the market. So hopefully Kafaraq can still share his expansions (at least until we get official versions from specialty labels).

DAD is distributed by 20th Century Fox internationally, so sharing anything DAD is off-limits. Call me crazy, but it's a blessing in disguise, as that means more people would buy the official expanded edition, so that LLLR could release more expanded Bonds. Can you imagine LLLR utilizing the limited range rear recording angles from the original six-track composite soundtrack for "Dr. No", "From Russia With Love", "Goldfinger" and "Moonraker" (unless those "Moonraker" tapes manages to magically appear one of these days) to make a complete soundtrack in the same way LLLR did for Ernest Gold's "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"? That would be amazing.

I'm also making up for lost time and supporting by buying the Lukas Kendall expanded editions from 2003, and so far I'm only getting the scores I love (For Your Eyes Only and From Russia With Love, but I hope to get The Living Daylights, A View to a Kill, Moonraker, Octopussy, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Diamonds Are Forever, You Only Live Twice and The Spy Who Loved Me soon, since you can get these at used bins at CD shops).

Oh yeah, I forgot about the 20th Century Fox caveat.

What are these six-track composites you refer to? Has the existence of such a thing been confirmed regarding older Bond scores? At this point, I'll take whatever they they can come up with for a Moonraker expansion.

What are these six-track composites you refer to?

When LLLR went to do the complete "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World", they've used the limited range rear recording angles from the original six-track composite soundtrack from the film. You can read all about that here (http://www.lalalandrecords.com/Site/MadMadMad.html). Chances are these are still surviving for the three Connery films (four, if they ever want to do a film accurate release of "Thunderball", unless the other unreleased cues that couldn't fit on the single disc expanded issue are still around) and "Moonraker", since Lowry (the ones who've remastered almost all the Bond films for the Ultimate Edition DVDs and eventually the blu-rays), made a 5.1 DTS HD Master Lossless Audio tracks for each of them if memory serves me. In order to make those, one needs those composite soundtracks from the film themselves.

---

I agree. Whatever one can do for a Moonraker expansion. Hopefully, and this goes back to "Die Another Day", the LLLR CDs sold well enough in order for Nic Raine to have the "okay" to go ahead and rerecord this and probably "The Spy Who Love Me" as well, if those 24-track tapes Kendall mentioned aren't the film masters.

5000 is the total release run. I believe they print this run in batches. When one batch sells out, they press the next one. I've no idea how many batches or of what size. I've read in the past that with other soundtrack releases it has been 2 or 3 batches, so this suggests maybe 2000 or 2500 have sold so far.

Many, many thanks for these!

That article about "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" was very interesting, thanks.

I think the Nic Raine rerecording of Moonraker has been sidelined now, as Tadlow Records have moved on to doing another project. They would have to finish that one first, so Moonraker would be a long way off.

As I recall, I put a pledge in through Kickstarter or an equivalent in support of the Moonraker re-recording, but the project was withdrawn when the copyright holders moved in with their heavies. A good idea, ruined by poor planning.

Don't know if this has been answered already, but I'm not clicking through 189 pages to find it.

Does anyone still have the albums for:
The Spy Who Loved Me
Moonraker
License to Kill
Die Another Day

thanks for Dr No!

You mean KaFaraqGatri's edits or the actual albums themselves? For the KaFaraqGatri expansions for "Licence to Kill", "Moonraker" and "The Spy Who Loved Me", we have to patiently wait until he's done with them. :)

For the albums themselves, you can find those via search.

"Die Another Day" on the other hand, it's removed due to the fact that the film is distributed internationally by 20th Century Fox, thus any incarnation, whether if it's the Madonna single with the remixes (especially the promo album that contains the shortened Dirty Vegas Remix that's used in both the party scene and end credits), the original album or the newly expanded edition by La La Land, can not be shared in any shape, way or form.

Hey vzok, are you able to post a downloadable version of the ice rink music from OHMSS on here? Being trying to source it for years! Thanks.

I won't buy a rerecording. It's just not the same thing.

@Lord_Radim Ohh yay my wish for more custom Bond covers has been granted! :D I really loved those Ultimate Edition DVD covers and I've wished it was carried over to the blu-rays, though some of the blu-rays has nice art, except those new ones when SPECTRE was out in theaters at the time.

Can't wait for more custom covers from you, especially when KaFaraqGatri finishes expanding the rest of the scores. :)

I'll make the whole collection. Clearly, the wallpaper is not that style. Casino Royale, Qauntum of Solace, Skyfall, and Specter I will have to create. So far I have the front of Casino Royale.

These look very nice. Can I ask where you have got these tracks from. For example in Dr No you have a track for "Bond Meets Honey" that is 5 minutes long, and I don't think I've ever seen a track available of that length. Plus another for Bond and Quarrel.

Please use a different music alternative that is similar to Monty Norman's style. I wanted to extend the OST for a few minutes. This is the case with other bonded bonds. Last week I finished my Moonraker and I did Music Theft of Moonraker/Freefall. last week I finished my Moonraker and made the Theft of Moonraker-Freefall music. At Moonraker I also joined Johan Strauss, who played in Venice.

Hi, Thanks for all your hard work putting these together :). Can't wait to listen to these when I wake up, hands down my favorite film series. Quick question though, is there any reason why Die Another Day is unavailable? Is the composer on the ban list for this site?

Hello All,

I share this interesting post I saw on Facebook... Maybe you also noticed it, but to be sure, here it is:

Warren Ringham of Q The Music Show - James Bond Spectacular released the following statement on the James Bond Music Facebook Page concerning an upcoming complete Moonraker concert(s) for 2019 in the UK:

I'm going to be announcing - in the next week - plans to put on a full orchestral concert of ALL the music from Moonraker.

It will be with a 100 piece Orchestra and Choir.

Any of you who know me and know my Bond concerts know that I will make it the most authentic and lovingly created concert it can possibly be. I'll be using all my contacts from the London Professional circuit to bring something together that will be very special.

Due to the costs involved, I'll be crowd funding it.

I very much hope you will all support something so many people have asked for for many years. The concert will NOT be recorded.

For updates please check out: Q The Music Show - James Bond Tribute Band (https://qthemusicshow.com/) and the James Bond Music Facebook Page.

My collection then looks like that :)

Seems like a real shame to go to all the trouble to get that size of orchestra together and then not record it. He'd shift a lot of CDs and DVDs to fans to help fund the concert.

I understand your remark, but I think cause of the high price of funding the whole project (production, orchestra, rehearsals etc...) they also want to avoid copyright issues and so on.

To record the concert is one thing, but then to master it to have it in a qualitative taping to release a CD/DVD or digital is almost impossible to do without the help of a soundtrack label IMHO. I'm sure they will have copies of the concert, but will it be good enough to be released without a proper mastering?

All by it, on their website they have a webshop and also soundbites and youtube bits of their regular show, which is really good.

I'm sure it will sound phenomenal although as per the score, its not going to be a very long concert.
Not a 100 piece orchestra and choir but this 29 minute suite is interesting:

Hello All,

I share this interesting post I saw on Facebook... Maybe you also noticed it, but to be sure, here it is:

Warren Ringham of Q The Music Show - James Bond Spectacular released the following statement on the James Bond Music Facebook Page concerning an upcoming complete Moonraker concert(s) for 2019 in the UK:

I'm going to be announcing - in the next week - plans to put on a full orchestral concert of ALL the music from Moonraker.

It will be with a 100 piece Orchestra and Choir.

Any of you who know me and know my Bond concerts know that I will make it the most authentic and lovingly created concert it can possibly be. I'll be using all my contacts from the London Professional circuit to bring something together that will be very special.

Due to the costs involved, I'll be crowd funding it.

I very much hope you will all support something so many people have asked for for many years. The concert will NOT be recorded.

For updates please check out: Q The Music Show - James Bond Tribute Band (https://qthemusicshow.com/) and the James Bond Music Facebook Page.

First show is announced: see https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/james-bond-moonraker-concert-26th-jan-2019#/

Saturday January 26th, 2019, Wycombe Swan Theatre in High Wycombe

Deadline to purchase tickets until 6th May 2018, go to: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/james-bond-moonraker-concert#/

thanks for FRWL!

I know this is the wrong place to post this although, does anybody have this LP in digital format.

"The spy who loved me and other great James bond thrillers"

My father bought this Album for $1 many decades ago after I kept pestering him about it in a shop. I think I was 5 or 6 at the time.
This brings back many memories looking at that cover. Listening to this countless times as a child when I was obsessed with anything James Bond.

I hope there's an FFShrine member there to record the Moonraker concert and share it. Ordinarily, this would be me, but I won't be able to make it.

Anyone else looking forward to the BBC's version of Moonraker on Saturday?

Many thanks!

thanks for Octopussy!

Hello. Eagerly awaiting the remaining scores.

Did all the cover art disappear for everyone when they enter this board? *gasp* I'm not seeing them on my end.

It's showing me blanks with no album arts, with the exception of "Moonraker", "Licence to Kill" and "The Spy Who Love Me", because he hasn't finished those yet.

I saw it too.

I can not even see the last remaining three as mentioned above

Ohh those last remaining three are the ones KaFaraqGatri hasn't done yet. :D

It's always tradition in here that he'll surprise us and then boom! He'll put out an expanded/complete score with the cover art. :)

I see. Thanks for letting us know. :)

Have you've tried Imgur? Everyone seems to be jumping on board that one, because of the whole Photobucket issue and PostImg being down.

I'm really loving these covers, Lord_Radim. However, I don't see any covers for The Spy Who Loved Me or Moonraker.

Also, can I offer a bit of constructive critique: In "Octopussy", the theme singer's name is "Rita Coolidge" not "Rita Goolidge".

Everything else is great. I can't wait for the "SPECTRE" cover. Definitely these are a must share over at this thread: Thread 90457

covers Moonraker and The Spy Who Loved I gave you some time ago, but I can calm again. Specter will definitely (y) thanks for the error in the name of the singer. The bugs in some covers will be more, but I have already printed some of them + I also have prints on the CD.

I'm sorry if you do not understand the translation. I do not know much English and I use Google Translate. :)

Happy May Day!

I'll wait patiently for the next upcoming scores. (surprisingly, there's three left! *gasp*)

Wow, i really love that cover collection.
One question though. Do you have still have all the covers from Bond 01-27 without the "CD Collection" Line and without the text on the right bottom corner?
Thank you.

thanks for GoldenEye!

Hello. We still eagerly await the remaining scores.

I wonder what songs should be included on the collection of James Bond bonus songs.

I like this one

I second this request.

Hi all,
I have a request to make...
Does anybody have the film version of the Licence To Kill - Main Title by Gladys Knight in an uncompressed form (FLAC or Wav, ...)? It runs 2:58 approx...
Thank you for your feedback/share.

The question is now, who do we think will write the score?

I hope David Arnold comes back. However, my statement still stands during the last time there was a discussion about Bond composers:


Yes, definitely. Not to put down Thomas Newman, who is good, but Arnold needs to make a big comeback.

I also don't mind Harry or Rupert Gregson-Williams, Henry Jackman, Rachel Portman, Micachu (Mica Levi), Lesley Barber or Marco Beltrami to have a different take with the franchise as well, but I do miss David Arnold.

Another one I'll put on the list, though he's more into the "hero/space/family-friendly" movies type that made Jerry Goldsmith, Alan Silvestri and John Williams household names and I know that there are a few that likes him here and many that doesn't mainly because he's not Remote Control Productions but I digress... but I'm going to put his name on here anyway: Michael Giacchino.

Daniel Pemberton is another one. (his "Man from U.N.C.L.E." score is very Bond-ish)

NIGHTFIRE is now posted.

There was a lot of music composed for this game, and it was mostly written to be adaptive to conform to the player's actions in real-time. As a result, the main campaign music is presented in suite form.

Thanks a ton, KFG!

Now that La-La Land gave us Die Another Day, does anyone know if it’s possible to make a film mix of the entire score?
