The five expanded titles -- Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, O.H.M.S.S., Diamonds and Live and Let Die -- represent EMI, MGM and independent contractors such as yours truly working very hard in not a lot of time to get Bond fans the best of the vintage 007 scores. The sound quality on these titles is STUNNING. The CDs will feature the original LP programs followed by bonus sections of previously unreleased tracks.
No extra masters were available for Dr. No, From Russia With Love, or Moonraker (recorded in Paris). Feel free to complain but there was nothing anyone could do!

Oh man this is great news! I have been buying a few of the old Bond LPs on EBay....usually for $1-2 dollars...but now I will be able to listen to them in my car too!!!

 

[Kirk Tsai]

Does "remix" simply mean cleaning up the tracks? Or is there altering of the original cues?

Put aside that question, this is great news. I'm surprised though, why didn't they also include the expanded editions of Arnold's latest scores to make the release complete?

 

[Steve Christou]

Ow! I just fell off my chair, woohoo! Bond music fans rejoice!!
More music from Thunderball, You Only Live Twice and OHMSS!!![gasps]
But sadly no expanded Moonraker CD [one of my fave scores], ah well.
Fantastic news Jason, well done mate.

 

[Jason Adams]

Bump.
