    A View To A Kill was released on the 22nd May 1985…. Do you think LaLa Land will announce its release to tie in with then?

    I don't know if they get that exact with the dates; the worry is that all of the previous releases were under Eon, and according to the folks from LLL, Eon specifically requested each release- it wasn't a case of LLL going to them and asking to release, say, Octopussy- Eon asked them to release that specific score. So now Eon is out of the picture it's hard to know if they'll continue, fingers crossed though as AVTAK is one I'd really like.

    OHMSS, AVTAK, TSWLM, TLD - those four will do

    I think the three essentials are The Spy Who Loved Me, A View to a Kill and GoldenEye. There are of course others which would be suitable for an expanded and re-sequenced re-release, but those three have never been expanded at all. Out of the three, if I had to choose one I'd ask for AVTAK.

    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.

    I’m delighted that OHMSS is coming out - one of my favourites (and hopefully shows the EON/Amazon MGM dust up won’t affect the remaining soundtracks)

    We could get 2 or 3 soundtracks at least before the end of the year

    It's definitely looking that way. Bond music! Nothing like it.

    Well that's lovely, and I think that LP looks great with that lovely Sean shot.

    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.

    More good news. Better than ever!

    Some more good news from Neil at LLL:

    "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!

    Apart from unused material, how much is unreleased from the score? The last release seemed pretty comprehensive.

    Potentially quite a bit. In his analysis in the thread below, @Bond_Scores suggests about 28 minutes of unreleased music.

    Ooh okay, I could be interested in that!

    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.

    I don't usually watch tv versions of the bond films ,having all of them on blu-ray, but i watched "DR.NO" on itv-x today and for the scene of bond driving to miss taro when i'm accustomed to hearing an edit of the james bond theme i heard both it and slightly under it in the mix "jamaica jazz" from the (i believe )french version. I'm completely bemused by this anybody have any thoughts on how this would come to be?

    Good day, y'all

    Just to update everyone on things...

    Sum of All Fears will start shipping this coming week. I know how frustrated you may be in its delay but believe me we are even more frustrated. As soon as they arrive we will start sending out all the orders

    In the meantime all the pre orders that didn't include Sum are just about out. This was a Black Friday level release batch and it has definitely made us rethink batch releases like this. We always try to aim to make things easier and cheaper for the customer by saving on shipping but between the Sum delay, the massive preorders and the flood in our offices the month of July has been a very chaotic time.

    There will be no new releases this month, however

    We hope to have something new September 1 so keep an eye out for that announcement

    One last thing...Bond is going strong and we aim to have more releases this year and into 2026.

    TTFN

    I recently had a dream La La Land released AVTAK expanded edition. I hope that dream comes true very soon. ^:)^

    Yeah, that's top priority as far as I'm concerned. That is one Bond movie where I'm intimately familiar with all the unreleased music heard in the film. And I can only imagine what alternates, if any, might lie in store.

    Yes, I'm happy if there's no unreleased stuff even, I'd just like that one completed the most out of what remains.

    I'm dying to hear the barely audible helicopter crash music from the PTS and the fight music in Stacey's house in it's full glory.
