well beaker if you hope for releases that accurately ,it'll be AVTAK for may GE in november and TB for xmas,my fingers are crossed!
Logically, you're right of course - none of these scores have seen any form of expansion from the OSTs.
However, if I had to pick a top three I'm most keen to see released/further expanded, I'd say A View To A Kill, On Her Majesty's Secret Service and Thunderball (with The Living Daylights in a close fourth place). I appreciate the latter three have all been expanded, but there's still missing material and I personally would rather hear unreleased Barry gems than the work of Hamlisch or Serra.
Oh ye of little faith.... check out the small print near the bottom of the article........

It's definitely looking that way. Bond music! Nothing like it.
My slight pessimistic side kicks in however: we know OHMSS was the last of the three titles delayed from 2019, so it's one Eon had already asked for- I'd feel a bit more confident MGM were continuing the trend if it were a totally new title. Also, they use the term 'CD reissues' as opposed to OHMSS's 'new remastered CD version': I hope it doesn't just mean they're reprinting their previous Bond expanded CDs..?
LaLa Land will release anything they can get their hands on. I have 31 tracks on my bootleg version of OHMSS lasting 82 minutes. Am sure they can find it all and clean it up (it’s not bad quality already).
Plus the release says other CDs to come too
I posed this question to Neil S. Bulk at LLL and received this reply: "I'm sorry to say but that's not how things happened at all. If you read something in 2019, it was only a wishlist and not indicative of anything else. No work began on any of those titles until years later."
So the first part of your concern at least is, in theory, unfounded!
I guess it depends whose wishlist it was: LLL's or Eon's! :) I might just ask him; I'm hopeful it means that the new ownership of Bond hasn't affected these.
"I'm not going to say anything further about this until the project is finished and announced. If people have been paying attention to previous James Bond releases not called "Goldfinger" then you'll have a pretty good idea how an OHMSS release will go."
That, to me at least, pretty much confirms that OHMSS will be an expansion and not just a remaster!
Potentially quite a bit. In his analysis in the thread below, @Bond_Scores suggests about 28 minutes of unreleased music.

It's quite fun to read that thread now; Bond_Scores didn't even know what else was missing from Moonraker!
There's even more actually - I plan to update the post ASAP to give you all an idea of what we can expect from the new release :)
There was so much I was unaware of! I think it's going to be a similar story for TSWLM, if that ever materialises. Lewis Gilbert was evidently quite brutal in his edits.
