It's closer than the Mi Casa, for sure. To produce this new release, I referenced the mono DME, which is basically the "Alt" track on the new 4K UHD, as my guide for putting together the correct takes and sequencing.

And of course, all the unreleased material is a treasure trove for us fans.
The mono stems are very impressively produced and I think sound better than their equivalents on the OHMSS album. I’ve sequenced them chronologically on my Playlist, as I don’t think there’s a noticeable dip in quality.
I love all the hidden stories the La-La Land Record releases reveal. Take the strings at the start of ‘Bond Meets Domino (Take 1)’, which are quite disjointed and jarring. You can see why Barry opted for the smoother later take.
The alternative version of 'Street Chase' is a real treat too.
I’d also forgotten the brilliance of ‘Death Of Fiona’, specifically the way Barry deftly moves from source music to dramatic underscore and then back to source again.
As an aside, it’s funny how you get accustomed to listening to tracks in a certain order; I’m surprised each time the slinky sax of ‘Traction Table’ doesn’t follow the Gun Barrel, as per the 2003 release!
I’ve attempted to list all the new cues with their slate numbers, based on Lukas’ notes from 2003 and my powers of deduction:
Questions for @nsb1234 - what is cue 7M1 please?
Also for the ‘Grenade Drop’ cue at the start of ‘Underwater Mayhem’ (presumably 13M3), did Barry end on the brass crescendo, or the gentle string chord that’s in the same key? The strings seem a strange way to open the ‘Underwater Mayhem’ cue to my ear, but I may be wrong.
I don't understand the question.
The brass crescendo is the end of the prior cue.
Starting with "Moonraker" the James Bond "Score Presentations" have been mastered with sub-indexes, essentially tracks within tracks. I work with Doug Schwartz, the mastering engineer, to put these at all cue combinations. If you want to know where all the starts and stops are, I recommend getting a CD player that can still show indexes or research ripping software that can extract this information.

And thanks @bondscores for the cue list breakdown by slate number. 7M1 does seem conspicuous by its absence.
