Thanks and my best for you Takehiro
Many Bonds scores are real Masterpieces, specially (to my taste) John Barry'ses

Amen.

Hope it's a bond-tastic filled xmas - and Moore's best was LALD - but what was Connery's best??? personally FRWL...

No guys, u'll are wrong, worst official Bond movie was OHMSS... Lazenby really screwed up on it... he couldn't even climb up the machine's cogs without any difficulty... and he didn't drive the car during the chase thru the snow and the racetrack, his girlfriend did. Which was pathetic.

Nonone wrote anything about CR being the worst Bond movie. Get your facts straight next time. And as we all know, people (even a fictional character like Bond) develop through experience. If developing thru experience is pathetic, then we're all pathetic= human.

Finally the forum works! Relief...I had to deal with a lot of stress recently so I can't remember which score is up next. Is it Octopussy, Takeshiro?

Yes! This forum is back! Takehiro, thx a lot 4 GoldenEye! It's awesome... i'd give it at least an 7.5 or 8/10... now going to start downloading FRWL...
By the way Tak, how come u never included the trailer music in the QoS RAR file?? It was a remix of Pfeifer Broz. CR trailer music...

Sean, the guys were talking abt how CR 2006 was and how they said it was a slow movie... it was pretty fast paced...

TWINE is fixed, with the missing bank music reinstated. And I just got The Living Daylights 2CD in!

Brilliant! When will TWINE be up for download? And, has it got any more missing cues?

Just the bank music, Im afraid. But its the most complete version Ive heard, with good sound quality and no SFX! Living Daylights, however, has some great cues on it.

Brilliant!

I thought The Living Daylights was complete anyway, is there any new cues on it?

Of course there is :D Most of them are short but they are totally unreleased.

Oh I cannot wait! :D

Brilliant!

[Starts humming the James Bond theme]

The Living Daylights 2CD added.

I'll repost: when will the TWINE re-up occur?

The Living Daylights 2CD added.


Once again sweet meats are rained down from the heavens..

Incidently with the repost there is Oh,Oh 7 ost left

Has anyone been able to get The Living Daylights two disc set? I have been trying since it was first posted, and keep getting Megaupload's old "Temporarily Unavailable" message, which I seem to getting more and more these days in general.

Also, thanks for posting Takehiro! Looking forward to downloading it.

TWINE has been re-added. The missing bank music is there. Once again EBR comes through with the finest-sounding, most complete leak of this track I've heard to date!

Thanks man! U're a miracle worker!! AHHH!! I am in love with the FRWL score! Even though in some instances, John Barry kinda reminds me of John Williams Star Wars score... =)

Before I start downloading TWINE, do u have every missing cue? Doctor's Cues, Submarine Escape, Elektra & M, Bond walking in the street (after the Gunbarrel)?

The Living Daylights 2CD added.

Super! TLD is a real treat for the Bond score-fan. Also thank you for the new version of TWINE.

Takehiro
thank you again for giving us 2 more outstanding bond scores.......roll on Octopussy!

Do u have every missing cue? Doctor's Cues, Submarine Escape, Elektra & M, Bond walking in the street (after the Gunbarrel)?

Sadly not. But this is still the cleanest version of the expanded score I know. You take what you can get, my friend.

Looks like Thunderball is next! Of which, I have some info about which I will post later.

Yes! This forum is back! Takehiro, thx a lot 4 GoldenEye! It's awesome... i'd give it at least an 7.5 or 8/10... now going to start downloading FRWL...

It would have saved you a lot of trouble had you written that in the first place. I guess you just have to deal with that some of us have a different perspective on things now and then friend okay? :)

Same prob here sadly. We just have to be patient and hope it will be resolved soon.

Speaking of slow-pacing, watching Thunderball a few years ago for the first time in decades, I was struck at how slow it was. Yet few people seem to comment on that - in fact, its described as "fast paced" and "non stop action" by some people! Its a great movie though, just different to most of the other wham-bam Bond movies.

there are soooooo many uploading sites on the web...I�m in my 4th hour waiting for TLD

there are soooooo many uploading sites on the web...I�m in my 4th hour waiting for TLD

To you and others like me who've had the same prob: Try this one-> The Living Daylights (2009, Expanded 2CD) - John Barry (http://tehparadox.com/forum/f86/living-daylights-2009-expanded-2cd-john-barry-834414/)

Avoid that, people. Its dated 2009! As my first post says, my uploads are EXCLUSIVE MP3s Im posting here. NO ONE ELSE HAS THEM. So just be patient and keep trying with Megaupload. It will be worth it! The 2009 edition is not as complete as this one is.

Thanks for the clarification Takehiro. I'm patient. ;)

Thanks for the fixed TWINE and the 2CD Living Daylights, Takehiro.

Welcome!

I agree it's not as complete but some files in the 2009 ed are bigger= not as compressed, and therefor one can combine it with yours (if you want) to get the best possible sound experience. I'm not trying to step on your toes, just trying to help out :D

But you also dont know that someone hasnt ripped those from an MP3-CD, thus doubley compressing them, and/or used a bad codec. Mine are L.A.M.E. rips from the original CDs with a good frequency response. I just think mines a safer bet for anyone who knows about audio quality.

Tak, Just listened to TLD. It's great! Thanks.

Thunderball is next? Wow. Can Goldfinger be far behind?

Ive heard some of the new cues on Thunderball (I always get sneak previews). Theres a quite a few unreleased pieces from the recording sessions on there - alternates and commercially unreleased bits too!

Thank you.

I only grabbed Moonraker and there is a 17 min suite. What is the source of this suite, and do you know if there are similar suites in the others soundtracks too?

Thanks for The World is Not Enough. That is most certainly the best available version of the bank music. I've always thought that piece and the boat chase music are some of Arnold's finest action scoring.

Also thanks for The Living Daylights! Those extra cues are great, particularly Pushkin's Room. It's also nice to have all those versions of the theme song. It's one of my favorites.

Can we get a mirror on the TLD score? Obviously people are getting it but i've been trying it for 48 hours now and never seem to get it. Takehiro...thanks again for this wonderful resource.

Edit: Nevermind. Finally got it to go through. Thanks again!

Some have suites, and they are either alternate cues, unused pieces or re-recordings.

Here's something i don't understand... the whole QoS soundtrack lasts only 1:10:42 seconds... and if the movie was 2.5 hours, how many cues are missing? Or they just didn't have music for the other half of the movie?

I think you'll find that QoS is nowhere near 2.5 hours long!

The movie itself was dissapointly only 1h46m long, which is very non-007, besides the first three films in the franchise. And if you than add the source music in Puerto Rico and the whole Tosca opera sequence, you have approximately an additional 15m of music ... The missing cues would then be not that much, I believe 'the Shootout when Bond and Greene are leaving the opera' is the longest among other more smaller cues...

What is wrong with the complete score in Rafael 00_Agent's thread? Thread 45183
Isn't that very complete? Besides QOS, every score in Takehiro's thread are so more complete.

And, what about this one: http://speedsoft.site11.com/quantum_of_solace_expanded_score.html That is very complete and excellent! :-)

I think you'll find that QoS is nowhere near 2.5 hours long!

It was 2.5 hours because i watched it yesterday on Tv with the breaks. OK, QoS is so short? And not many cues are missing?

That means the film with ads was 2:05, the film was prob 1:50 tops so bout 15 -20 mins ad breaks.

Ignore all 2CD sets of QoS. They are FAKES. For one, the credits music is a hack job between CR credits and QoS credis post-gunshot (the edit is to hide the sound effect!) It also pads out the running time with non-score music and tracks from CR.

EBR is the only way to go, peeps!

OK guys and gals, Thunderball is in and its another blinder of a set. 102 mins, and almost 50 tracks. I am also happy to report the great sound quality - some of the EMI releases from 2003 (notably this and AVTAK) were mastered "overly-bright" in terms of sound. None of that is present in this double CD set.

Cool :)

If I'm not mistaken, not counting the sourced music, the QoS soundtrack is only missing the piece heard when Bond flees the bar in Bolivia and the end credits music. Takehiro's album has the end credits, so you're just missing the other cue, which is probably 30 seconds long.

But you also dont know that someone hasnt ripped those from an MP3-CD, thus doubley compressing them, and/or used a bad codec. Mine are L.A.M.E. rips from the original CDs with a good frequency response. I just think mines a safer bet for anyone who knows about audio quality.

I'm no compressing-expert but to me it seems illogical that doubley compressing a file should result in MORE MB-size wise since the whole concept of compressing is to make a file smaller and compact (as in Compact Disc and so on). Your rips sounded fine to me, but could you please explain a little further about your theory here or in a mail?

Meaning, those supposedly 320kb/s files could easily be ripped from a CD that was burned from 128kbp/s MP3s. An MP3 encoder doesnt "know" whether a source file is lossy or not, it just treats it as a full-size file that it compresses. So if you download some MP3s at 128k, burn them to CD, then rip that CD to 320k, the MP3 encoder will be giving all those KB to recreate the signal but they will be wasted, as the source material is a lower-bitrate originally.

And re-encoding a 128k file to a 320k file doesnt make it sound better :) Once the frequencies are lost due to compression, you cant bring them back.

Andee, that gets my vote for post of the day :)

Takehiro ... cant wait fo thunderball when will it be posted ?

Thanks for you great work

I just got it in today, its ripped, RARed and ready to be upped. Expect it this weekend.

THUNDERBALL now added :D

Look up... look down... look on the front page... haha, Thunderball's been added! YAY! But i've not watched it yet... so no point in getting the score... 2day's CR 2006 on TV... I never watched it properly the first time... and it's nearly 3 hours with all the ads!

You haven't seen Thunderball?! Wow, lol. Its overrated, but that doesnt mean its bad. Its just a bit overlong but the themes Barry wrote for this are some of his best.

LOL no Tak, it's never come on TV... i rely on Star Movies for all the Bond movies... and since it's Diwali in India... we're getting all the Bond movies along with others at absurd timings... License to Kill was on a week back... enjoyed it, but Dalton's Bond was far too dark...

but Dalton's Bond was far too dark...

I totally and utterly disagree mate. Dalton's portrayal of Bond -- particularly Licence to Kill -- paved the way for Craig. Dalton set the ball rolling, the world just wasnt ready for it yet (surprisingly). Now people are lapping up the "gritty Bond" feel. Dalton should always be honored for setting the standard for that. I tell people every chance I get whenever I hear them praising Craig for being so dark!

Outstanding , thanks , love the picture. I have all these on my ipod with the originals.

as I said earlier Timothy Dalton is one of my favorite Bonds.

Good on ya, man :)

Im planning on putting these on my iPod Touch but I wanna have the complete set first :D

Again thanks for sharing these with us Takehiro! I was wondering if there was artwork for Thunderball?

why oh why is mega beinga pain, cant get TB and still cant get TLD
can some one please shed some light here....(geting very mad)

Again thanks for sharing these with us Takehiro! I was wondering if there was artwork for Thunderball?

The art is there

Thanks for thunderball !!!

Brilliant , thanks as always for Thunderball and Living Daylights Mate!!!

Youre all welcome :D

Seems logical. I've just listened and compared "01 - Gunbarrel - Landing On The Pool" and "02 - Death To Spies" ("Exercise at Gibraltar"'s first 2 parts of 3) in the 2009 ed with the 2010's "02 - Exercise at Gibraltar" and if there's an audible difference, it's so small I can't hear it anyway :)

The art is there

Ya, I had exported it to a folder with a lot of files I found them. :)

THUNDERBALL now added :D

Thanks again, Takehiro... Brilliant as ever! :-)
Can't wait for Octopussy and TSWLM...
Greetings from Brussels! :)

A lot of people crtiticized Monty Norman's score for Dr. No. Can't wait to hear how that sounds and compare it to GoldenEye, for people who said Monty Norman's & Eric Serra's score was un-Bond-ish compared to John Barry.

Takehiro has been on fire the last week or so and with only a few more Bond soundtracks to go his collection will be finished. I've been excited to hear what an expanded score will be like for Dr. No. Monty Norman was never given the proper treatment on the official EMI cd. Thanks for making these expanded releases possible for our ears.

mission accomplished agent takehiro. another two fantastic bond scores

cant wait to see whats next....james bond will return

People, thank you so much for your kind words. It makes me happy to bring these to you all. I adore the John Barry Bond scores, and like anything I love I want to share it with people.

I will let you know as soon as I get the next new one in.

God bless!

TB, TLD and TWINE are down for me, and have been for days. I keep getting an 'The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable.' message.

Thanks for TB, it's great to finally have it in film order!

Try flushing your cache and if that doesnt work, try a different browser. Or try downloading it at an off-peak time.

Thanks very much Takehiro for the latest files. I must say, I thoroughly enjoy John Barry's Scores from the Eighties Bonds. I am remembering fondly seeing those movies in the theatre. Good times.

Many thanks for Thunderball, Takehiro!

Thanks for the expanded Thunderball. Many believe this to be an overrated Bond, but, to me it was one of my all time faves along with Goldfinger.

Thunderball is slightly overrated but the more Ive seen it in my adult years, the more I like it. I have these wonderful memories of being a kid and being thrilled by the final fistfight as Barry's score played. Amazing!

Just discovered your excellent thread Takehiro. Wonderful, truely! Thank you for sharing these!

And a tip of the hat to all my fellow Bond score enthusiast. Respect guys. Respect.

Many thanks for all your hard work, Takehiro. I have a request, however. Would it be possible for you to upload the artwork you have included in all the zip files on their own? I've downloaded all your work already but have lost the artwork due to a computer malfunction yet have retained the music itself. I don't want to download all the files again just to get the artwork, however, so I would greatly appreciate it if you would consider this request!

Many thanks.

Certainly, I'll post it when I get a chance!

These are amazing!!! Looking forward to Octopussy! Will the b-side of Rita Coolidge's single be included? Its an instrumental version of "All Time High" that, as far as I'm aware, hasn't been released elsewhere.

Certainly, I'll post it when I get a chance!

Many thanks, I appreciate it! Look forward to it buddy! :)

These are amazing!!! Looking forward to Octopussy! Will the b-side of Rita Coolidge's single be included? Its an instrumental version of "All Time High" that, as far as I'm aware, hasn't been released elsewhere.

Yeah I know of it :) Was this on all singles released or just in certain countries? But yeah it will be included, Im sure (dont hold me to it, EBR might change their mind!)

Thanks very much for FRWL and Thunderball. Felt that FRWL's sequencing was unbalanced compared to the official version but that's a minor thing compared to the melodic quality and variation. Thunderball was better than expexted (and that says a bit since I've listened to the suite and the Mr Kiss Kiss Bang tracks on The Best Of James Bond limited ed for many years now!). Great sound, sequencing and I listened to it with only one late pause. Aprecciate it! :D

So... the film order of a score is worse? I disagree in every way!

Yeah I know of it :) Was this on all singles released or just in certain countries? But yeah it will be included, Im sure (dont hold me to it, EBR might change their mind!)

I'm pretty sure it was the b-side for all issues of the single. I don't know of anywhere else that it has been released.

So... the film order of a score is worse? I disagree in every way!

For me there's a difference in watching the film with score because when you do there are sometimes pauses of either silence or the characters talking/walking/doing something else. When you listen to an album with the soundtrack the music have to stand on its own without the images. You maybe experince this differently but for me listening to only the music there's another need for variety in sound and intensity from track to track to keep the flow up and not exhaust my ears. That's 'cause I have a slight hearing disorder. Maybe it's a character difference as well?

Hey Tak, can u please start a thread for all ur Bond album art (official/customs)? Can EBR make alternate customs of the ones u've already posted in the RAR's?

Why do I need to repost something I already posted?

Im in no way rushing you but any ideas about The Spy Who Loved Me :)

A big big thanks from an oooollldddd james bond movies and james bond soundtracks, fantastic work !

I like the album art but like someone said, ur artwork is not available on any site other than this. So while editting the info (like in Windows Media 11) we lose the album art stored in the file. It happens to me quite a lot.

Just discovered these amazing scores - you are a legend Takehiro - I never thought I'd get to hear the full scores so wonderfully presented. A million times thank you.

Thanks everyone. I shall see about the art, but Im very busy right now with my life. Big move going on soon.

As for Spy Who Loved Me, it may well be next. I hear some of the music is hard to track down.

It looks like Goldfinger may be next, people.

Thunderball is great (thank you Tak), but I'm waiting for Goldfinger hopefully not much longer. Any ETA?

Maybe in a week or so, ttube?

A week or so for Goldfinger. Great. Looking forward to it.

I can place my bottom dollar, whether anyone on the thread likes it or not, that Dr. No may be the last Bond OST to wrap up this thread. Nothing much being spoken about that for a while.

Lol, its not exactly a favourite at EBR so you may be right!

Great things come to those that wait, all these are great Takehiro I was listening to TND , the cues during or around when Bond is escaping the Lab then going to Paris, great music , loved the take on the Bond theme there. Outstanding!!

Hamberg Break In/Out and Drive to Paris cues.

Lol, its not exactly a favourite at EBR so you may be right!

"Speaking" of which, Takeshiro, any hints on what tracks are to be on Dr. No? The opening with electronic noise/sound, bongos and Three Blind Mice/Kingston Calypso will be on it, I hope? I like that one and Dr. No's Death, so those would be nice. But it doesn't sound that promising of it not being a fav at EBR though...

Any idea as to what extra music might there be on the Octopussy album, Takehiro? I take it the gunbarrel music will be included, since there is a clean, although poor sounding version on the UE DVD.

Really? Where on the extras do you mean?

The guys at EBR dont let their opinion of the films or scores influence their work. EBR thinks Dr No is a fab film, they just dont like the score so much. But that doesnt mean the expanded one will be poor.

Really? Where on the extras do you mean?

At the very beginning of the James Bond in India documentary, If I remember correctly.

Really? Where on the extras do you mean?

Righto. Something to watch (if you like) while we wait:

Takehiro - Many thanks for your hard work bringing us this gold standard collection of Bond scores. Whilst i own the official expanded scores on CD, they're pale comparisons next to these! :O)

Thank you sincerely!

I see someone on here thinks its nice to sell my stuff on eBay:

Very nice... I know they got them from here because I havent posted it anywhere else.

That's just incredible, what a jerk!

I truly hope this doesn't put you off from sharing the remaining scores with us as your efforts here are deeply appreciated, at least by 99% of us.
It's wonderful and inspiring when a fan like yourself can offer other fans work of this quality.

You can always send him a message and tell him to remove it.

Nice...someone's going to spend that money on a CD made from MP3s.

That sucks!

Nice...someone's going to spend that money on a CD made from MP3s.

I know, at least sell a one made from lossless files!

I've meant to comment on this thread before - I love these scores Takehiro.

Would there be any plans for the unofficial Bond films at any point?

As for the eBay listings - it's always possible some upstanding citizen might report the listings and leave it for eBay to deal with...possible that is.

Im planning on upping some VG stuff, but as for unofficial... no, I dont think so.

That's fair enough - Michel Legrand's music for Never Say Never Again was a rush job and I think it shows and much as I love Bacharach's music for Casino Royale I'd imagine that it would be difficult to track down masters etc.

Anyway, love these so much - thank you :)

I believed to possess all the CDs of James Bpnd. It was before discovering by chance your super thread. Henceforth I am become so addictive as the others. As I understand them! The editors may well be inspired by this work of goldsmith both for the sound quality and for the visual unity. I await with impatience the next. Thank you so much.
:D

PS
I have just noticed that e-bay had removed all that (censored). We can all breathe...

Forgive my english mistakes please!

It's a sad sorry state of affairs trying to pass off your scores as rare Bond - it just proves any bugger will have a damn good go and derserve a damn good thrashing..

hello takehiro !

Do you think it's possible for you to give us the "never say mcglory again" 's score ?

And Thanks for all the Bond's score

Sorry for my bad english...

GREED must be the bastard's middlename...Just checked at eBay. The stuff is removed thankfully.:D REALLY hope this doesn't put you off continuing uploading the scores, although it must be hard...Despite minor flaws I've enjoyed most of you uploads so far and it's really nice to have some left to listen to as yet.

Edit: Ooops. Didn't see the last post.

I might hold off posting for a bit... what do you think? :S

Please don't! These are absolutely fantastic, and I'm eagerly awaiting the rest of the early Connery movie scores!

I might hold off posting for a bit... what do you think? :S

No no no, please don't! Seriously, there are a lot of people on here (myself included) who truly love and appreciate these scores, and we REALLY appreciate you putting all of these up here for us to enjoy. (Myself, I'm selfishly looking forward to Octopussy.)

As for that ebay bastard, I'm really glad his listings were removed, and all of us here will definitely report any other asshole that tries to pull that shit again. Just point that way. *cracks knuckles* =)

Well if anyone on here thats registered is from Japan, it could easily be one of those guys.

Anyway, I promise I will continue to post the rest of the scores (external circumstances like closure of the board, not withstanding). Goldfinger is likely to be next.

Keep your eyes peeled on eBay, fans!

Glad to see you are working on my favorite John Barry score:)! I look forward to it!

Goldfinger

Homer Simpson Drool........

I might hold off posting for a bit... what do you think? :S

Personally I don't care, just reading here from time to time. What I think is that's a very bad idea to ask though. I understand that some people are excited and are looking forward to see what you'll come up with next, and I also understand you're excited yourself looking forward to read comments on your effort and the exceptional stuff you bring through this topic. Nevertheless, you don't owe nothing to anybody here and you really should do as you feel, imho.

Im not excited about comments, I just wanna bring something new to the table.

I hope this is the last time we have this problem. Your efforts are appreciated, Takehiro. A CD made from MP3 files... what a waste of space!

Anyway, let's steer this thread towards something more positive. Does anybody know where that upbeat version of Goldfinger sung by Anthony Newley came from? The slower, more relaxed one is in the "Best of Bond...James Bond" album, but was the other one ever released commercially?

@Takehiro

I just want to say that I really appreciate your shares. Honestly they've been nothing short of life enriching for me. You certainly don't owe anyone these great gifts but I do want to encourage you to continue on. Because I do care.

And whomever has been abusing your generosity deserves to be sliced in half from the groin up by Goldfinger's lazer!

Well if anyone on here thats registered is from Japan, it could easily be one of those guys.

Anyway, I promise I will continue to post the rest of the scores (external circumstances like closure of the board, not withstanding). Goldfinger is likely to be next.

Keep your eyes peeled on eBay, fans!

Thank you so much Takeshiro and we all promise to keep our eyes and ears open, right amigos?

GENUINE commitment! :D

A very huge work Takehiro. Congratulation, it's just amazing.
Can you explain : your sources (DVDRip ?), your work on tracks, on quality... ???
anyway, Thanks for that.

For me the Best OST is a Barry one : "OHMSS".

Eagerly awaiting John Barry's Masterpiece: Goldfinger with some/many extras. By the way, I remember reading quite a long time ago that the original master tapes were missing. I also am curious about the source of these scores. If Goldfinger is as well done as Thunderball was (love "The Casino" and "Underwater Ballet") Goldfinger fans are probably in for a treat!

Underwater Ballet is on the EMI 2003 release (albeit its hissy and overbright). And no master tapes are missing, people just havent looked hard enough for them :)

Clouseau, if you look through this thread you will see many times I have stated that I just rip and upload them. Nothing more!

It is interesting that a soundtrack like Moonraker would get a 30 minute release on LP, yet John Barry only composed about 40 minutes of music for the film that was his own compositions. Tracked music from Elmer Bernstein and John Williams could be left out. It is a shame that they would allow a 45 minute album for Golden Gun, yet for Moonraker they could have produced an album that was almost "complete" back in 1979. The days when films didn't need to be padded from start to finish with music.

Barry did more than 40 mins for the movie.

Tak, was there ever an official rock instrumental for YKMN? I was expecting to get one with the CR release but i never asked... ? Prague Orchestra didn't do the rock one cos i have it... =(

Hey Tak,

How are you doing? First of all, a very big thanks once again for sharing these wonderful expanded scores.
Any news on GF, OP & TSWLM?

Many greetings from freezing Brussels!
OOSteven

Hi there. You're welcome. Due to bad weather, my incoming orders have been delayed. So everything is on hold :( I am still waiting on GF.

Fantastic post... great complete soundtracks. Any chance of Lossless versions? Big thanks regardless.

I am eagerly awaiting TSWLM. I know it's not a Barry score, but people seemed to like Marvin Hamlisch's score for the movie.

I just joined the boards today and these are the absolutely first things I grabbed. They are, without a doubt, fantastic. Thank you very much, takehiro, for going to all this time and trouble. It is extremely appreciated.

Welcome, Jimmy, and thanks for your kind words.

I would also like to thank Takehiro for the wonderful scores, I have been a film music fan for over 30 years and am so pleased that the love of film music is still alive and growing due to forums like this.

Alex

As Lord Vader himself would say: "Impressive. Most impressive", Takehiro.

Eagerly awaiting your next effor, especially "Octopussy".

Thank you very much!

Dont worry, peeps. I am still here. Bear with me, guys!

I think postage is slow all over the world right now. I have some items too that are taking forever. Looking forward to the usual excellence Takehiro. Thanks again.

Hi Takeshiro! How are you doing? Any news from the post office about the orders?

You have my sympathy and thanks again for your efforts.

Its Takehiro, my friend. Mail seems to be in order now, so hopefully we might see some action now :)

Its Takehiro, my friend. Mail seems to be in order now, so hopefully we might see some action now :)


drool - goldfinger - double drool

Its Takehiro, my friend. Mail seems to be in order now, so hopefully we might see some action now :)

Oh, I'm really sorry, Takehiro. Glad to know the mail's in order, friend :D

Any word on The Spy Who Loved Me Score?

TAKEHIRO hi can you send me the song(music cue) from a view to a kill at the beginning of the film when bond is seen detroying the chopper in siberia? the song cue playing there if you could pm me that would be great!!! this one piece of music cue I always wanted on the score of that film as well. by the wayall your james bond expanded scores are just F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C!!!!!! thanks!hgohari73

Well guys, another kick in the nuts. Apparently now someone else is taking credit for MY uploads. Some years ago, a site in Spain selling bootleg CDs called RareScores went out of business. I found a trade website last night that credits their own team with some of my Bond scores. And they are selling them for 100 Euros a score. Theyve made their own artwork but the content is identical to those posted here.

It makes me wanna quit upping them right now and just keep em to myself. What a bunch of c***s.

I'm really sorry to hear that this has happened again Takehiro! :( It's stupid how people can't do a little thing called give credit where credit is due anymore.

You have every right to stop doing so, of course, but I sincerely hope you will share the rest of these. I know that there are those of us that very much appreciate all of your work!

Whatever you decide to do, thank you very much for sharing these great scores and good luck!

I think it is bad that someone takes all the hard work you have done in giving us these complete scores and then stick their name on it but is also bad that they are charging people for them.

I do hope that you will consider in posting the remaining scores then after a period of time, say a week or two, deleate the links.

I agree. The bastards went out of business and at least you'll limit other shitheads acess. As written before you'll do as you like, but really hope you'll consider this as it would be a shame for us not listening to more complete scores and for myself, I've been looking forward to especially Dr. No for some time now.
Thanks again for all great efforts. Regards, Merry X-mas & A Happy New Year/Sean

Just wanted to say thanks for these uploads, OHMSS still my favourite Bond soundtrack! Superb.

Fuckers!

I guess the only thing that could be done if you want to share the rest, and I hope that you do, is to limit them to PM's - time consuming I know or create a mailing list.

It is very disheartening for you but know that your hard work and generosity is much appreciated.

There's no shortage of people like that in this world.

I might do a mailing list for the scores...

Those of us who really enjoy these will support you and try to find this idiot putting them on ebay.

Its not eBay now, its this site here:

CDRareScore :: INFO CD (http://leolor.cogia.net/%3Fop%3Ddl%26ltt%3Da%3D%26txt%3DJames%2520Horner?o p=di&idcd=1430)

They've made their own artwork, but the DAF and some of the other Bonds are mine. 100Euros is a rip off!!!

That site is terrible. Passing off all that on-line content for stupid prices, including your work. Insane. They even have some 'complete scores' we all know are just DVD rips with SFX!

I hope you do continue uploading these scores. I've enjoyed them so far and I'm intrugued as to what extras might be on the rest (esp. GF SPY and Octopussy). There have been some lovely treasures thus far.

Oh, they're a bunch, all right. It seriously makes me wonder about making these scores available only to certain individuals.

What a bunch of jerks!!!
I'm sorry that this has happened to you (now twice) Takehiro.
I certainly hope that you continue to upload the remaining scores (even if in a more private manor).

I don't know why we can't be thankful for these expanded scores and just enjoy them.

Take i'm going to hit ya with a bit of honesty here for a just a moment man.

This is going to happen no matter what ya upload, but ya know what? It's ok. Because regardless of what leechers do. It's not good to take away from those who stayed loyal to ya here. Let them leech.

Think of it like this. They're the fools. They're selling something that people can get for free from you. And they have a pretty big chance of being cracked down on by the law. They're selling copyrighted work for a profit. Much worse than posting it for free. If worse comes to worse you'll just be told to remove the links, but they'll be stuck with a hefty fine and told to pay back the money.

Plus you only have 3 movies left to post. Might as well just finish it up. Like I said people here have stayed loyal. Don't let idiot leechers and con-artist ruin it for you and the others.

Oh, they're a bunch, all right. It seriously makes me wonder about making these scores available only to certain individuals.

Yes they are! I vote for a mailing list and if so I hope you will please include me, Takehiro? I'm really sorry this happened and, as everyone, hope you'll continue sharing in some way.

Just wanted to say that I appreciate your work very much, Takehiro. I have been waiting for so many years to hear the soundtracks in "Complete". So thanks for your work!!!

I wouldn't mind Takehiro having a personal mailing list... but what we need is a confidentiality agreement that nobody reuploads/takes full credit for the scores... and remove the links from the front page. PM everyone who asks for whichever score. Like right now I'm waiting for TSWLM score. Watched it yesterday and thought that even though Marvin Hamlisch didn't compose a few songs (like Bach's Air and Elivra Madigan) I still thought he did a pretty good job for a 70's score.

And what makes you think that an unscupulous person wouldn't agree not to be unscrupulous..... and then do the opposite ?.

It pains me to see someone like that trying to sell your music for their gain, but I hope that doesn't deter you from posting the rest here. I've been anxiously awaiting the last few in the series and look forward to hearing them!

And what makes you think that an unscupulous person wouldn't agree not to be unscrupulous..... and then do the opposite ?.

I hate to have to agree with this, but yes, a mailing list, with or without an agreement probably wouldn't help. Still, if Takehiro decide to continue with the uploads, it would be the most sensible thing to do.

Hey, I just downloaded the "From Russia with Love" score, and it was NOT the John Barry original version, but a new version by Christopher Lennitz. Does anyone know the back story on this score? It really is a GREAT score, kind of a homage to John Barry's original James Bond music. Very nice!

William

Christopher Lennertz did the music for the From Russia With Love video game that came out a few years back for which they even managed to coax Sean Connery to return to do voicework. This is probably what you're referring to.

Oh, that is GREAT! I would love to hear what Sean did for the game. This music is fantastic! Thanks for the info.

FIVE movies left. Apart from that I agree. It would be a nice wrap up of you finishing it for the loyals and so on.

I reckon I will continue to post here, then. It makes sense too I guess. Thanks for your support. However, I am moving soon (moving countries, in fact) so nothing will likely be posted till after the move next month. I wont forget though and rest assured, I will post them ASAP after I get back online. Again, thanks for all your kind words.

Thanks once again Takehiro for the uploads so far and for the upcoming ones. Thanks also for your decision to continue with the rest of the uploads. Have a good move, a great New year and hope to read you soon here at the forum!
Greetings from Brussels! :)

Thanks so much , take care of business and take your time with the move I know moving can be harrowing.
Well be here :)

Best :)

Thank you, everyone. Seasons Greetings to you all! x

Can't wait to finish the set. Good luck with the move, I know that's always a hassle.

Good luck with the move, Takehiro!

wow... i'm surprised that place hasn't been shut down yet...
it sounds worse than eBay selling mp3-upscaled CD-R's...

Thank you for your kind words, as ever. The new place has cable internet, so my uploads will be a lot quicker. God bless, all.

merry christmas & a happy new year takehiro, hope you have a great time & your move goes ok buddy, all the best.
the papa

HAPPY NEW YEAR in advance Tak! Should u not be online... =D

Thank you very much! Cable Internet sounds promising. You're welcome. good luck with the move (I've done it a couple of times, so I know about the troubles) and Happy New Year!

Maybe hard to tell for you, but will that be after next month or within the next month? Either way good luck and thanks again for your decision to continue posting :D
/The Sean

I downloaded Moonraker but it is missing my favorite unreleased cue "Stealing the Moonraker" that is found in the Complete James Bond thread. Looks like I'll have to stick with the Dolby rip.

Cant win em all, sadly. My guy only settles for clean music, so I guess whatever source he had for these scores was SFX-riddled and useless.

Happy New Year everyone!

Don't even sweat these fools Takehiro, they'll get theirs soon enough. The world has a way of taking care of that for all of us so let's just smoke 'em while we got 'em!

THANKS!!!

Happy New Year to all you guys, too.

Happy New Year to you too, can't wait when Octopussy will be uploaded thanks in advandce!

Tak,
Is this OST real, clean or fake? Well its being sold, not sure if it's yours...

David Arnold - Die Another Day (The Complete Original Motion Picture Score) (CD, Album) at Discogs (http://www.discogs.com/David-Arnold-Die-Another-Day-The-Complete-Original-Motion-Picture-Score/release/2193816)

I was searching for the rejected end titles and different Parodi/Fair trailer songs from DAD...

Its not mine, no. Its a bootleg from Europe.

The Die Another Day complete score bootleg has been available on the web for quite some time. Speculation has always been that Arnold wasn't happy with the CD release, so leaked it himself. Probably just conjecture, but fun nevertheless.

What about the different DAD trailer songs and Arnold's rejected credits... do u have them in your RAR file?

Thank you for posting such high quality music. Your dedicated time to this forum is very appreciated by all of us. I'll really be looking for to You Only Live Twice when you get all settled in from moving and what not.

No, David never leaked it out, he asked ME to do it, so I did!!! :)
David was mainly disappointed in Madonna's main title song, and the editing done on the CD, he felt that the disc could have been fuller and better edited.

Well since that be the case, would you mind possibly leaking a link of The Die Another Day complete score bootleg that's better than 128 (which is what I have of it) or else providing direction to a pre-existing link? Ideally I like to have it in 320 mp3.

I know this is really not the place for it but maybe you could provide a link to a link just so it can be found... I mean, if you can and want to.

Thanks.

How about FLAC from the original DAT?

Sure, that'll work!

I'll just convert it to my preference, but yeah, that'd be great!

Thanks!:)

I can supply you with the EBR version posted here in a better quality if you like? The version I posted is from the same DAT and it contains more music than the one you found on that website.

If its any cosolation, extreme variable bitrate (VBR 0) encoded with LAME is better than 320k.

Yes, I love VBR-0! saves so much more room! you get the quality you need without dead space!

Thank God, someone who finally gets it! :D Kudos to ya. But I guess for people who crave 320k, ignorance IS bliss, eh?

hi im looking for the 007 world is not enough david arnold expanded score.,, includes gunbarrel and scape from bilbao bank. there are like 28 tracks or 27 i see the cover bootleg via web... if anyone haves please post it.

No, David never leaked it out, he asked ME to do it, so I did!!! :)

I agree with David Arnold...the Madonna main title song has got to be the worst Bond theme EVER!

BTW I also wanted to say thank you to Takehiro and all of the contributing members in this thread making it freakin' awesome. :D

Thank you :) Im all my years surfing, nothin Ive done's been referred to as "freakin awesome" so I guess I did good.

darksky011808: I guess you came in late - head to the first page and find the download link there.

Well, not THE worse, but almost. I have to say that the main title score from "Tomorrow never dies", which was thrown in at the LAST minute, in a special deal, apart from the composer, and without his knowledge, had to have been the worse one out there. The ORIGINAL main theme song, which was performed by K.D. Lang, is one of my favorites. Don't get me wrong, I like Sheryl Crow, and I think she is a fine singer, but K.D. Lang's voice, as displayed on this song is SOOOO much more dynamic, and the song is one of those that kicks around in your brain all day. The song was retitled "Surrender" and it is used for the end titles. Check it out. I had a special version of this film produced on DVD with the original main theme put back in, which is about 25-30 seconds longer than the Sheryl Crow song, so special footage had to be put in, or the song had to be edited, and THAT I would NOT allow! It's great!

William

Thanks for your great works and great collection.I think among Arnold's works, "The World is Not Enough" is one of my favorite but it's the only one that is missing from a list of "complete" version. I've heard about some COMPLETE RIP version with sightly SFX but never really know it is real or rumors.Your "expanded" TWINE is one and only thing that made my day.Have you know why TWINE is missing?

I can supply you with the EBR version posted here in a better quality if you like? The version I posted is from the same DAT and it contains more music than the one you found on that website.

If its any cosolation, extreme variable bitrate (VBR 0) encoded with LAME is better than 320k.

Ah, you learn something new everyday!

Cool, thanks Takehiro!:)

William, you're absolutely right about "Surrender" -- what an excellent song. I don't mind the Sheryl Crow song, but if they had stuck with the original plan, they'd have been much better off.

Somewhat along these same lines, have you heard the Shirley Bassey/David Arnold song "No Good About Goodbye"? It wasn't written expressly for "Quantum of Solace," but it makes for a pretty good replacement title song for that movie nonetheless.

I heard it WAS a title song, after all the first line is "Where is the solace?"

I'm no expert, but what I've read -- and I can't remember where I read it, even -- is that it was written after the fact, but was written by Arnold sort of as an example of what sort of thing he would have done for the title song if he had been given the opportunity. And some of the music is clearly reuse of some of his score for the movie.

Either way, it's pretty good stuff. Not as good as "Surrender," but definitely better than the White/Keys song (which has a few decent sections but is mostly pretty poor, in my opinion).

Dear friends:

Can you kindly give me link for the Full OST for "The Spy Who Loved Me".
I have been long waiting for this - my most favorite James Bond Movie.

Thanks a lot.

There isn't a complete score released as of yet and what we are getting here is the closest in some cases to complete.

You will have to wait like everyone else is here.

sorry.

Or if you want the regular OST, theres plenty other threads hosting it or where people can help out :) Bear with me, everyone and thank you sincerely for your support n patience.

I would rather have your soundtracks - these are the best versions I've ever heard - and patience is a virture - i am oozing excitement from every pore...

He loves gold...He loves only gold....

Oh. sorry. Just passing time till the next upload.

Thanks, Andee!

It's kinda odd that stuff like FRWL, Goldfinger and OHMSS (which were made in the 1960's) have actually got the full complete scores out here... and something like TWINE that's only 11 years old isn't complete... =(

I personally cant wait for Spy Who Loved Me a sadly underrated score and the cd release sucked big time.
but no hurry , when your ready , Thanks for all the good stuff Takehiro fellow Whovian and all around nice guy :)

Just to go OT for a moment, did u see the 2011 release schedule for the Who DVDs? WOW!

Just to go OT for a moment, did u see the 2011 release schedule for the Who DVDs? WOW!

yea lots of neat stuff coming too bad I dont have any money

Ditto :(

Takehiro, words cannot describe my joy upon finding this thread today. I've been a Bond music nerd since age 8, and your work is by far the best I've ever found. I've been longing to have that quick cue in TND right after Bond swings across the stealth boat gap and starts mowing down baddies for years! Thank you so much, you're a hero in the Bond community!

Welcome to Takehiro's World, Doc :) Enjoy.

Maybe I missed something but the OHMSS soundtrack still has one piece of instrumental music missing which is the Ice Waltz.

Expanded does not necessarily mean complete.

True I wonder if that piece will ever be released :(
Either way your expanded scores are great! It's not John Barry that made it but I have the Ghetto Blaster music from TLD if you wanted to add it to your score? :)

Id be interested to hear it, I thought he did it. Turn on Private Messaging and send me a download link to it, thanks!

.

Go to your account settings and enable it. Its there somewhere! :)

Make a 6th one?

Try it again. Worked for me. Megaupload is just weird sometimes

and Take. Did ya get my PM?

LTK file is expired for free download. Is there another link?

Thanks for Thunderball, anyway.

You should use "JDownloader". It works well with free links. And Premium. But also Free.
I sometimes get that for free links, but with JDownloader, I can just leave it sitting there overnight and hopefully the expiration will be done with by the time it downloads.
With JDownloader, you'll never have to worry about Captcha Recognition (for RS/MU/NL/DepositF/ZShare/Direct HTTP; for HF/FSonic/FServe/Duckload you'll need to input the Captcha) or monitoring the download. Just add the links, start the downloads and walk away!
It's as easy as 1, 2, BAM!!!
Just Add, Download, and walk awa--BAM!!!

MU does have issues on its own however. You might have to wait a day or two for that expiration to void itself. I waited an entire week in some cases.
It just takes patience.
With JDownloader, you can check on it to see if it's completed. It will complete the download, but it just takes patience for that expired problem.

I use JDownloader all the time, it'll auto-extract WinRAR archives (need to attach password to container properties if one exists).
For files that are split with HJSplit or whatever people use, it'll merge the split files (file.001, file.002, etc) into one file.
It does CRC checks as well to let you know if it turned out okay.
It aborts on extraction errors, you'll have to check the log to see what went wrong.
It also checks to see if the files are online when you input the links.
Works particularly well for people who give Multiupload links, as it'll check all mirrors it has been uploaded to.

http://jdownloader.org/download/index

There are plenty of things I dislike about Jdownloader...... only joking !. Jdownloader takes all the effort out of downloading. Try it !.

OMGOMGOMGOMGZOMG!!!! We're so close to finishing the list on the first page!! Can you imagine! A marathon?!?!?!??!
It'd be sooooooooo beautiful!!
I was just going through, sorting my mp3's and found I was missing a few albums!! D:
All fixed now :)

Heheh, keep calm, keep calm! My move is happening very soon and once I get a PC set up I'll be back to work and back to upping the missing albums.
