    Indeed, it only would have taken a package of some weight coming on top of the envelope at some point during transport, and the jewel case could easily have been damaged. Really sloppy by the 007 Store.

    On topic again, I can't get over how good of a score OHMSS is. I've only listened to a few tracks from this release so far, but that's enough to remind me how top of his game John Barry was by this point. It's so rich and atmospheric!

    I haven't gotten mine yet I guess it says August so I did order mine on like July 3rd some delay. Hopefully it's worth the wait.

    Just received my 2 CD set today, and I'm loving it so far. Great work by Neil!

    I was surprised by the poor packaging by the 007 Store, which was only a thin cardboard envelope and the least amount of bubble wrap possible, which wasn't even wrapped properly around the jewel case. I've had similar items delivered from abroad in similar packaging, and they have all been damaged to some extent.

    How were the CDs packaged for those of you who ordered directly from LLL? If they were more securely packaged, then that's another reason to order directly from LLL.

    My package from LL Records came in a well-padded mailer.

    ... and as everyone has already noted "Prelude for Guitar And Strings" is absolutely stunning.

    [Does anyone object if I post yet more screencaps from OHMSS?
    ... didn't think so. ] :x

    For people living in France or the rest of the Europe, you can also try your hand at Musicbox, which has the album for €46 plus shipping (they're currently out of stock, but more copies are reportedly coming).
    I got mine from there, and it sounds amazing. Neil paid justice to this score, which I regard as the best work by John Barry (or anybody else) on the franchise. The detail is stunning and the mastering is a top job.
