Thanks again. I was thrilled when I got these — and still am whenever I play them. There are a lot of TND ones around but this is definitive. Even the "Bond Records" pressing is a bit of a mess. And their pressing of QOS hasnt even got the proper end credits on!

Tomorrow Never Dies is a fantastic Bond score. I have the Bond Records version too, so can’t wait to hear your version.

KaFaraqGatri
06-22-2010, 08:49 PM
If you play tracks The Party II and Hamburg Break Out, you’ll hear some dodgy editing nearing the end of the tracks where the bootleggers made the cues sound longer. Mine has none of those editing tricks on it ๐Ÿ˜‰

I have so far heard two versions of Hamburg Breakout, the Bond Records versions and another boot, and both versions are different. They each contain the extra music as heard in the film (that was missing from the commercial release), but totally different edits!

I’ve got ‘Fatal Weakness’ playing constantly- such a masterfully done track of menace and distant danger.

Takehiro- in your spare time between uploading scores, would you be able to post the track listings of the albums, so we can work out which ones are expanded versions of what we already have? It would be fantastic if you could.

Going to check out GoldenEye next. Want to compare the original film’s score with the N64 game’s score with eventually Arnold’s score for the new game. I hope Arnold retains some of the same elements, the way the N64 game did.

Currently dowenloading TND.

I have this score on 2 CD’s already in WMV format so should be interesting to see how much it differs.

I’ve been listerning to CR. Can’t see much difference in what I have already except for a couple of extra beats in the African chase music from the begining of the film.


KaFaraqGatri
06-23-2010, 04:32 PM
On CR, theres two extra pieces of instrumentation in African Rundown. Also, CCTV is slightly shorter than the album (by mere milliseconds) and You Know My Name is the film version with extra orchestration and different lyrics. I think thats it…

I noticed that "You Know my Name" was shorter, but haven’t gotten to CCTV yet, but as you say, the chances are that I won’t notice the "mere Milliseconds".

But it these slight difference that I like in a soundtrack.

Still looking forward to TSWLM, to see what you have, especially since many people are after the opening "Ski Chase" music that appeared in the movie & not the "bond 77" tune that everybody has.

I’m still comparing your MR to the expanded/Complete that was posted in the original bond thread.

Lookingforwardto the next upload.

The Suite, Prelude to a Killing and the rejected title song are just some of the new additions. Its a lot better than the commercial CD – I think you need to double check the commercial CD!

I didnt say these would blow everyone away, I just said they are the best expanded versions I’ve seen (well, heard) so far.


brok2

brok2
06-24-2010, 07:37 AM
Tell you what- here’s an idea that will save you some typing. You’ll be uploading the cd covers with the track listings with the albums anyway, right? What if you scanned them first, and uploaded all the covers in a file of their own?

That way we get the information we need, you get some scanning done you were planning to get done anyway, and you don’t have to do a single bit of copying the text off the covers into writing on the forums!


1shikawa
06-24-2010, 08:10 AM
What i am doing here is comparing what we are getting here with what we have had already in the original Bond post and then I am pulling the Clean tracks from the other downloads and adding them where i need to get a complete score as possible.

An example here is

MWTGG – Lulu singing without the music.

Moonraker – Speach Audio track of Moonraker launch, CEOTTK tune.

I am looking for the classical music that played while Bond drove his Gondala in Venice.


brok2
06-24-2010, 12:25 PM
That’s not very convenient for anyone else though, is it? Especially those that have no version of a particular score at all and want to see the tracks.

And you don’t need a soundtrack to get that classical music in Moonraker- that’s the Tritsch Tratsch Polka by J. Strauss II

Go to the original Bond thread in the forum, go through there and of the links are still all active download and then compare.

Cool.

This will be my third version of this score or a duplicate of one that I already have.

Can never decide should the gunbarrel/surf up be 2 seperate tracks or just one.

This will help me decide as both my previous versions have the above either joined or seperate.


KaFaraqGatri
06-24-2010, 07:09 PM
The Gunbarrel and Surf’s Up were composed as two separate CUES, and then crossfaded in the movie to make one piece. So theyre presented as two cues on this CD set, as they were composed that way.

However, Antonov was one CUE composed from two PARTS, so on the CD its presented as one cue.

Hope that makes sense!

Im so looking forward to Spy Who Loved Me, the released cd was such a disappointment ,the pyramid music is some of the best in the series and the released cd ruined it, cant wait.

Whose insane idea was it to put that "Eastern Lights" cue in between that beautiful music is beyond me.


1shikawa
06-24-2010, 08:48 PM
Just done some comparing with my DAD releases with this new one.

It would seem that my 2 previous releases is a mix of this one. Checking every track is a pain as they are all named different.

Other than the gunbarrel/Surf track which is ment to be two seperate tracks, I also have another "The Party" music which runs for 1.33 mins/secs.
The perice that is here on this new release is marked as "Alternative" on one of my previous downloads.

Sadly my other DAD downloads are a mix of 192kb & 320kb, so I’ll be sticking with the higher rate.

Another thing that is sticking with me at the moment is the "UA" logo music that preceeds all bond’s films. Some have this in place, some do not but is not major as it is not part of the bond score, unless you want every peice from the film.

Thanks for your valid input in clearing up the opening track.


KaFaraqGatri
06-24-2010, 08:55 PM
Depending on the codec used, these VBR rates might well be the best in terms of quality. Some 320k rips cut off at 15/16khz (which is atrocious), whilst others go all the way to 20kHz. My VBR rips are encoded using LAME and have frequencies right up to 19khz.

"The Party" music on the Bond Records bootleg is just a homemade mix from the 10 min Dirty Vegas track on my 2CD. You can spot the edits in Audition if you look at it. My Party music is Arnold’s original composition, that was chucked out and replaced with a mix of the Dirty Vegas track.

OK let me make sure I understand you here- You’re saying, for every score I do not yet have, I’m supposed to download it from the other bond thread, download it from here too, and THEN compare the tracks?! Presumably with my infinite bandwidth?

"The Party" music on the Bond Records bootleg is just a homemade mix from the 10 min Dirty Vegas track on my 2CD. You can spot the edits in Audition if you look at it. My Party music is Arnold’s original composition, that was chucked out and replaced with a mix of the Dirty Vegas track.

THanks for this Info.

Will listern to it more carefully.

OK let me make sure I understand you here- You’re saying, for every score I do not yet have, I’m supposed to download it from the other bond thread, download it from here too, and THEN compare the tracks?! Presumably with my infinite bandwidth?

Lol. Or, trust me, and go with the ones listed here as they have no SFX and better sound quality ๐Ÿ™‚

OK, right now Im upping Quantum of Solace. Its not much longer than the commercial CD but it does have some notable tracks, including:

– the film version of the title song
– party source music
– the full length and clean version of the end titles

All YouTube rips of the QOS end titles have the gunshot sound effect present and the Bond Records 2CD release is a terrible hack job, slicing together the opening end credits from Casino Royale and editing it (badly) into the post-gunshot credits music from Quantum of Solace. If you listen to it, it sounds so bad. The version on this EBR release is clean.

Look for it in about an hour so from now.

Thanks for the insight on your version of the score, especially the end credits track which is something i don’t think I’ve every listerned to all the way through.

I didn’t think the score for QOS could be expanded any further except for the party music, as I’ve read elsewhere that the complete score is on the commercial release.


KaFaraqGatri
06-26-2010, 07:51 PM
The complete score definitely isnt on the commercial release. Its missing a handful of cues, albeit short ones. The main one is the bar escape piece ("James… move your ass") but its not a huge loss, IMO. But it seems everyones wanting a clean version of the end credits and so far Ive only heard it on this release.

Depends if you want to have what would be a complete score or not with extras at the end.

QOS title track make me ill everytime i hear it, so 3 minutes instead of 5 is good.

I also understand what Yakehiro mean by the end track being totally different.

What I think would make the core complete is the Trailer Music tgo the film, which is different to the one that "Bond Records" used as they just used the CR trailer music.

I have the Trailer music, but it’s not as clear as i would like it to be like the scores here, but it has no sFX in it.

Well, you know what tracked music is, right? The film edit (keyword: EDIT) basically amounts to the same thing. Why do I need a cut-down version that wasn’t what Jack White wrote (and incidentally, I like the song) when I can have the full version that Jack White wrote?


spaceboypsy

I didnt realise having choice was a bad thing. You get both versions on the CD so whats the issue?

The film version of the title song hasnt had a commercial release, so to have it here is a nice bonus, I think. Plus its what you hear in the movie. Hearing it in a cutdown form recreates the aural experience from the movie, it keeps the pace up I think.

To everyone else, thanks for your warm comments. Im thrilled everyones enjoying the music.

.

I agree with you there.

I understand that LTK title track runs at around 5 mins as does an extendend version of TLD by AHA, so always welcome these as bonus tracks at the end.

A film score be it Bond, Star Trek, The Losers or what ever is to remind me of parts of the film when i listern to the score.
If anyone else is expecting something else, then maybe they shoul;dn’t be listerning to soundtracks.


KaFaraqGatri
06-27-2010, 01:24 PM
Precisely, LTK is a prime example of a title song that, when played in order with the score, it just drags the pacing out. I do like the full length version, but if I wanted to hear it, I’d rather hear it at the end.

Also MrM, the main title on the LTK expanded score I have is NOT a cutdown from the album version. The opening is entirely different for one. This is a case where its better to have the film version, as its a different mix and not an edit.

Bond songs were often cutdown or indeed mixed twice for the films – once for the title song and once for the album. Some of them — The Man with the Golden Gun, Diamonds are Forever — were the same on the album and on the film’s title sequence.


raybond

There are two versions of the Licence To Kill single: the 5 inch and the 12 inch versions. The longer version (12") is the one on the soundtrack album. The shorter (5") version has the same Goldfinger-esque start that the film version has but was cutdown in the film: one of the verses is cut out.

The longer version has a longer lead-in and repeats the chorus. The shorter version was generally only available on vinyl (this was 1989) but a limited edition CD single was available.

I haven’t listened to much of it yet. I already have the music from Greene’s party, and End Title Music so that isn’t new to me. Are some of the tracks extended? Containing unreleased cues? Because the track list is pretty much the same as the commercial release.

KaFaraqGatri

To Take’s credit. He was very open about Quantum not being much longer than the commercial release.

Just sucks tho. Kinda wish they’d release all the music, but in MCA’s or whichever music company owns the Bond music eyes there probably isn’t a high enough demand for them. We can only pray movies Octopussy, A View to a Kill, and Moonraker get official expansions.


1shikawa
06-27-2010, 08:00 PM
We can only pray movies Octopussy, A View to a Kill, and Moonraker get official expansions.

Wasn’t it mentioned in the original music thread that some of the masters have been destroyed/gone missing, which include Moonraker.

It’s a bit like what the BBC did with there film Archive ion the 70’s and cleared certain things out because they throught there was no future demand and it may be the case here.

Havin said that in he "Music from ITC" cd release they released some cues from the short lived tv series "The Zoo Gang" as this is all they said existed.

It now looks that research have unearthed enough music from the programe to do a 2 CD release.

Lets hope that the Bond Masters haven’t been destroyed and are either in Private hands or been mis-labeled.


mtjs
06-27-2010, 08:16 PM
Moonraker is not (necessarily) lost. Because of money reasons, they only looked for the masters in the UK, but the recording sessions took place in Studios Davout, in France, so they might be there.

Regarding Octopussy and A View to a Kill, Lukas Kendall, who was in charge of the 2003 re-releases, said in an interview that he didn’t know where the masters were.

Thanks a ton Takehiro! I have been looking everywhere for this score, and getting this is a real treat. Thank you!

Its not complete, just expanded (and slightly at that). Its a good find, but not quite what you’re looking for unfortunately.

KaFaraqGatri
07-14-2010, 11:02 AM
A tiny snippet of music from the dam scene, the first part of The GoldenEye Overture, the Manticore fight, the Tiger escape, some music from the finale, plus a couple of other short pieces. Not a lot though.

It’s my personal favorite out of all the bond films (Casino Royale with Daniel Craig being a very close second!).

KaFaraqGatri

You know, listening to it the other day on the regular CD, I dont think its as good as everyone says it is. I mean dont get me wrong, it has some truly thrilling action music and the underwater "sound" Barry created is truly brilliant. But as a whole work, the score isnt all that varied. It stops and starts every now and then, and some bits are a little samey.

I still love it, its just not as good as some of his others, like You Only Live Twice, The Living Daylights (both awesome) or A View to a Kill (which is my favourite).


Arbok9782
07-15-2010, 04:41 PM
I fully agree Takehiro. ๐Ÿ™‚

Thunderball is simply okay. I found Barry’s work on the From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, and You Only Live Twice to be stellar. Thunderball just feels like its there in contrast, and lacks the highlights of the others. My favorite cues from Thunderball are the ones that derive from previous themes, such as 007 or the Bond theme. Its a good score, but it just feels like the best material from it is done better in his other work on the series.

I dunno- personally I like Thunderball a bit more than YOLT, though to be fair I’ve only ever been able to find bare-bones versions of YOLT, and the Kobe Dock fight is fantastic music.

Thunderball just totally nails the underwater theme, and isn’t afraid to be a bit bombastic. My personal favourite bit is when Bond is sneaking into Largo’s estate after dark. It’s got that perfect quiet highly-strung tension type of stealthy music that only pops up a few times in the scores, like in Goldfinger when Bond waits till dark to get into Goldfinger’s factory, and in OHMSS in Blofeld’s Plot, where Bond escapes his cable car room prison and sneaks up over the rail and back inside Piz Gloria.

@Takehiro

Dear Takehiro,
old chap,

This is by far the most advanced and most pro Bond music thread on the whole wide web. Kudos to your score re-compositions, careful mixing, splendid cover artwork and sporting spirit to make it all available what has been hidden for so long.

I was raised on Bond music, like many people, it’s almost part of your consciousness, even more than The Beatles.

The Beatles may be bigger than God.
But Bond is bigger than The Beatles.

In a week my brother – who is a Barry fanatic in his own right – will have his 4Oth birthday. And there’s nothing in the world (and I mean nothing) that would make him happier than finally being able to listen to the complete scores of

LICENCE TO KILL – A VIEW TO A KILL – OCTOPUSSY – THE SPY WHO LOVED ME

Four scores I tried to catch in vain in their entirety, until now. So, as my deadline is set and the ticking clock is ticking, all I need to know from you is: Will these four scores be up until next Thursday (22/07)?

It would be a blast.

Best regards,
Sador

I personally like David Arnold’s scores for 007. He’s changed his style so much since he started in TND. TND was fun for me, very Bond-ish. But his latest work has taken on a very different approach. I like his new Bond music, very captivating to listen to as a whole album. Especially the percussion he’s using more often.

Eric Serra was okay for Bond, but mostly if you’re familiar with Eric Serra to begin with. His approach was very new to the series. I like his version of the Gunbarrel though, I can’t get enough of it everytime I watch it or played the N64 game of Goldeneye.

However, as much as I like David Arnold, his score for TND seems to be incomplete. It’s hard to find the "Backseat Driver" track. In the movie, there’s a part in the middle where the bass is booming, very low, it just slides around. But the soundtracks (both the first release in ’97 and then the ’00 release) don’t have the same bass for the track, so it sounds real quiet. The DVD has an isolated score on it, but there’s also a part in the music where it drops right down for SFX (as most isolated scores on DVD will do that for dialog/sfx). So it’s quite impossible to find the perfect version of TND.
I think all the extended releases I’ve found don’t really have the same bass as the movie version.


KaFaraqGatri
07-16-2010, 02:33 PM
I would say the version I posted here of TND is the best you will find. Ive had many versions, and this is the best.

Sador: First of all, love the avatar. Dalton is my favourite Bond. I adore him as Bond. For me, he nailed it and set the way for Craig to continue in that dark vein.

To say my thread is the best Bond music thread on the web makes me very happy indeed. I cant take credit for mixing/making the scores, but I am so happy everyone is enjoying them. I have a burning passion for Bond music, and I too was raised on the movies and music. In fact, John Barry got me into listening to film scores in the first place. I owe my love of score music to him.

I wont be able to have all four of those upped in a week but you can tell your brother that expanded (not necessarily complete) versions of them will be coming in due course.

Thanks again.


SADOR
07-16-2010, 08:33 PM
@Takehiro

I always liked Timothy Dalton – and not only as Bond, btw.

If you could make it happen to up at least OCTOPUSSY and LICENCE TO KILL, you would make my brother (and me) a happy man!

That said, can I offer you anything in return?

Have a fantastic weekend,
and keep the passion up

Takehiro, I finally managed to find the wav files for the Smirnoff contest for the Casino Royal trailers.

If anyone is familiar with it, it has 7 seperated wav files with different elements of the trailer (choir/drums/guitar/orchestra/etc). The contest was to make your own version of the trailer music.
I had them only in mp3@320.
But just recently I found them in original wav files, including a full-mix version.

If it’s okay, I would like to share them here, since it’s a really good bond thread.

The files are no longer hosted on the Smirnoff website, and are very difficult to find in original wav format.

Thanks for AVTAK.

Not a brillant Bond Film and not a Bad Bond film, as Roger Moore was well pass playing a decent Bond, But it does feature some decent tunes and this includes the main theme by Duran Duran, as it is better than main theme songs that have been with each film since the series was relaunched back in 1995.

Way back in 1972 I purchased the 10th anniversary James Bond double album (Dr No > Diamonds are Forever) and played it to death! I actually bought it for the songs but started to love the instrumental tracks the more I played them.

This started, now approaching, a 40 year total appreciation of the fabulous music composed for the James Bond films.

The expanded releases of a few years back were truly a gift from heaven and now this tremendous work you are doing is the icing on the cake.

Many thanks for all your hard work from this Bond movie music fan!!

If you use JDownloader, just keep it running in the background, it will keep checking for the file every 5 minutes or so.
It may take up to 3 days before you can download it.
It may be that MegaUpload is changing servers or doing sever maintenance.
I’ve been having issues with MegaUpload for the past several days.

Hello, Gang. I just wanted to say that I don’t know who did the 62 track version of "Diamonds are forever", or if it’s an actual release from somewhere, but it is GREAT! I figure that it is bootleg, because of the MGM logo music, and the fast cutoffs on the "film version" tracks. Either way, it is really fantastic!

Hello, Gang. Back when "Diamonds are forever" came out to the theatres, Roland Shaw and his orchestra did a two LP version of James Bond hits, with a truely FANTASTIC redo of the Diamonds are forever theme, with original incidental music, provided by Roland Shaw. I have never seen this record in CD form, and have long since lost the original from my collection. If anyone knows of it, or could provide a link, I would be greatly appreciative.

The thread can stay as long as you make a new thread for every score. Basically, I guess you could just make a new thread and link to this one so people can comment and the like. I still don’t see the point of this but the rules are the rules.

Hello,William
That version you mean is my one.It???s my own made version.

Skrenty, I was just asking if you DID the 2cd version of "Die another day", because it is really great also!

I have your 1 disc version, but the 2 cd set is also great! check it out!

OR, you can create a new thread over "there", and just post the link here as well! It’s a real pain having to look in 20 different places for 1 freaking link! Whoever came up with this new "Better way" has really got a screw loose!

The 2 Disc "Die Another Day" is a bootleg that has been on the web for over five years. Some have claimed that Arnold himself leaked it after being upset with the original album presentation, but that is merely conjecture.

Hey Takehiro,

Just downloaded Moonraker. Great work at removing the SFX and talking.
I do edits myself and am wondering how you’re going about your editing process.

I’m guessing like me you rip the audio from the DVD in 6 channel, then you take the best parts of the audio and do your editing with some filters (noise reduction, perhaps) and EQ.

Anyway, from an audio-editing hobbyist to another, just wondering what you do ๐Ÿ˜‰

Thanks and looking forward to more expanded vintage Bond scores.

IMO, Licence to Kill is highly underrated and one of the best Bond films. Its my favourite of the lot. Dalton was a superb Bond, and started all the dark stuff that Daniel Craig is now getting credit for. Dalton IS James Bond!

Lupus
08-23-2010, 12:45 AM
I also like Timothy Dalton as James Bond. Both of "his" films were really good. For me The Living Daylights is second after Goldfinger as far as both – cinematography and music are concerned. Licence to Kill is one of the most interesting and brutal films in the series. And Kamen is a great composer. Check out Lethal Weapon or Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

Craig? Craig is no match for Dalton ๐Ÿ˜‰

Some 20 years later we’ve GOT it.
Kamen in his prime – a fantastic score that – because of one of the worst edited Bond albums ever – sadly got neglected for decades.
Reminds me of how, someday, everything comes full circle.

Kudos to Takehiro!

I am thrilled with this album. It is the best representation of the score I have seen (or rather heard!) to date. If only MCA weren’t such c**ts and release the rights, we could get a legitimate release pressed!

I am currently working on the "Dr. No" score. I am making the opening titles, with the gunbarrel, James Bond theme (Revised), the Bongos, and the Three Blind mice theme, IN STEREO!
Did someone post an "extended" soundtrack for this movie?

Another bond score from another Bond film featuring a brilliant actor who’s bond films can be seen as the ground work for CR & QoS.

Yes, they tried to make bond more gritty in the late 80’s and i think it worked.

Shame the idea was ahead of it’s time with the idea.

THanks for the post.


KaFaraqGatri
08-29-2010, 02:10 PM
Totally agree. Dalton was interviewed on TV as CR was coming out and he was so modest about his dark and gritty portrayal when asked about his time in the role and the similarities between himself and Craig.

Cristobalito2007
08-29-2010, 02:21 PM
Excellent posts. Thanks. Can anyone tell me what is the music in the Spy who Loved Me, when Bond meets Stromberg (the villain) in his aquarium office in the sea base? Its also repeated slightly when the car becomes a sea vessel and they (Bond a cute girl) head for the base. Any advice would be really appreciated! Thanks

SADOR
08-29-2010, 02:50 PM
You can find one of Timothy Dalton’s finest (and funniest)
performances in Showtime’s "POSSESSED", aired back in 2000:

YouTube – Possessed 6/11 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGUm1U9Kakg&feature=related)

He plays no one less than the "original Exorcist", as the film’s based
on the "true" events the novel "The Exorcist" originally was based on.

Kinda cheesy in places, but the acting is nothing short of brilliant!

best regards,
Sador

Looking forward to the next Bond installment.

I wonder how many people there are who, like me, got the extended iTunes score of Casino Royale, went back to the movie, and were surprised that Bombers Away and African Rundown played as a single uninterrupted piece.

Great job with this all, although I am slightly saddened that the Quantum of Solace score doesn’t have “Time to get out” in two parts, as it plays in the movie.


KaFaraqGatri
08-30-2010, 10:49 PM
Its normal for a composer to do that, especially when the first part of a cue differs in terms of instrumentation and/or tempo to the second part. I just dont know why Bombers Away wasnt on the commercial album to begin with.

monkeygra
08-30-2010, 11:03 PM
Considering the structure of the Casino Royale score album, I think it makes more sense aesthetically to start out with “African Rundown” proper and leave out “Bombers Away”, particularly considering that movie soundtracks are rarely complete on CD anyway.

KaFaraqGatri
08-30-2010, 11:06 PM
If Chris Cornell hadnt been so up himself, the first track should have been the title song ๐Ÿ˜›

monkeygra
08-30-2010, 11:21 PM
Also, why no Tosca music? I’ve seen the aria and theatre shootout (which I assume is another number from the opera) on another QoS bootleg that appeared to be the same recordings used in the movie.

KaFaraqGatri
08-30-2010, 11:37 PM
Because the Tosca music isnt anything to do with David Arnold; its source music.

Thanks so much for these, Takehiro! They’re really amazing. I especially love having LTK. It’s such a great score that so much was left off of on the album! I, too, loved the Dalton era and saw what he did a precursor to what Daniel Craig does. Too bad he didn’t get the same wide acclaim.

Another fine release, thank you. in TWINE a great piece of music was used when Bond and Elektra ski to the pipeline. It was omitted from the official album but David Arnold put it up on his website. The other missing cues will be great. Fortunately TWINE was one of the better represented albums on the MCA label. Looking forward to FRWL and TWINE. After that I think you only have about 7 more Bond albums to go. The will be some of the most interesting releases too because Dr. No, TSWLM and Octopussy were terribly represented on CD.

Thanks again dude!

Hey Takehiro, hold on for a sec, hear me out, If the utlimate edition of TND had an "isolated music track" on the DVD that allows u to watch the movie with only music and no dialogues and effects, how come no one has ripped TWINE yet?
TND is a great score, thanks for uploading it. Cheers =D

TWINE didnt have a music track. Some people have tried to rip music from it, but its been SFX-laden and cross faded with music from TND to make it clean.

Great of you to supply us with these treasures, I love From Russia with Love well really all of them. I do really like the Dr No alternate james bond theme used in a few places and in the boat/helicopter scene in FRWL. Too bad it was not included with this, but it will be with Dr No Im sure , thanks!!

I for one am looking forward to Thunderball. The person doing it says its one of the hardest things he has ever had to do – organizing it into film order and sorting through all the alternate cues is a huge task. But its going to be great when its done, I am sure.

Yea Thunderball surprised me I got the updated one that came out awhile back and thought WOW this may now be one of my favorite ones with the added music. Shows how sorely the score was treated on LP.
Actually Im looking forward too Spy Who Loved Me , and the Pyramid music without that horrible Eastern Lights music in the middle of it , who the Hell’s idea was that to put it in the middle of some of the best music on that disc.

TWINE will be worth it, I’ve listened to what’s on the CD and I love it, but they left out really good songs from there… If people thought "Another Way To Die" was a bad theme song, wait till they listen to "Only Myself To Blame"… so slow… i fell off to sleep halfway thru the song… =(

KaFaraqGatri

I would say they are worth a download for sure. GoldenEye’s been downloaded more than any other, to be truthful and its one of the coolest scores. DAD has some nice moments too.

Argh the frustration! Even this, the most complete From Russia With Love score I’ve ever seen, does not have the track I want the most- the one between the end of the train sequence and the start of the truck scene. Oh well. Great quality throughout the tracks that are in there.

Takehiro- I should probably mention that there’s an easily findable track that is missing from your OHMSS score that you might want to add to it. I normally wouldn’t have mentioned it, but the score you posted actually contains two shortened versions of it: track 13 and 14 on Disk two are a radio edit and orchapella version of a much longer (and I must say INCREDIBLE) track. The full, finished piece can be found on the Propellerheads album ‘Decksandrumsandrockandroll’ and is imaginatively titled ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.’ It goes for a blissful 9:23, as opposed to the 3:26 and 5:37 of tracks 13 and 14 respectively.

And be warned, it is insanely addictive, in much the same way as Grantby’s ‘Timber’ is an incredibly addictive rework of Diamonds Are Forever’s ‘007 and Counting’.


KaFaraqGatri
10-27-2010, 03:29 PM
Thanks Brok. I am aware of the 9min track but it was omitted by the compiler because they felt the radio edit was good enough for a non-film piece. I have the single myself ๐Ÿ™‚

Well Ive been given a sneak look at (or listen to) some of the tracks and I can confirm the gunbarrel is on there, along with the unreleased clean mix of the title song.

As keen ears will have noticed, From Russia with Love’s main title is different on film than on CD. The film version has never had a release. As with TWINE, the main title song is a completely different mix (more orchestra and different editing and mixing). This unreleased track (like FRWL) is gonna be on the expanded album I will be upping.

Oh and plus, it looks like its gonna be a 2CD job ๐Ÿ˜€

Wow these are really nice I have noticed though on a couple of the longer scores if you try and burn them onto a CDR they run to around 78 79mins they wont fit on a standard 80min CDR anyone have the same problem?

KaFaraqGatri
10-28-2010, 12:18 PM
Simple – in Nero just change the gaps between tracks to 0 seconds. In the case of LTK, just burn an overburn CD on the slowest speed and you will be fine.

NCFirebolt, whats the other 2? ๐Ÿ˜›


tehƧP@ƦKly???ANK??? -Ⅲ???
10-28-2010, 12:34 PM
Yeah, that works too.
Generally for burning music to CD-R, you’ll want Lossless versions with .cue files to help sort out the gaps more efficiently.
Having the Lossless version will give you real CD quality. MP3 versions are best for mp3 players. Or if you want to back them up to disc, back them in their native format on CD/DVD.
That way in the future, if you want to rip them again, you won’t lose more quality. And if you want to rip them to lossless after, you won’t be making a fake-lossless like some of the other scores out there (stares at the complete Bourne Ultimatum).

I don’t know if .cue files will work for mp3, they might/should.
But generally, if you have the .cue file created from the same rip, you’ll have an easier time burning to CD.


KaFaraqGatri
10-28-2010, 12:37 PM
Ive got lossless versions, its what I rip these from. I will upload them once I get on a faster line speed.

For me unfortunately, I haven’t watched the old Bond movies in a while… they usually have at least 1 Bond movie a week on TV… last week was DAD, this week is The Living Daylights… and I might actually get to hear a John Barry score… should be worth it.
For now, my top 3 scores (in no particular order are TND, TWINE & CR) are all Arnold’s. But that’s all about to change.
But I can tell u the worst Bond score I’ve ever downloaded is Quantum of Solace and the only song is enjoyed was Crawl, End Crawl… even Time To Get Out wasn’t as exciting as the African Rundown from CR… =(

Lord_Zuckuss
10-29-2010, 12:39 AM

I want to add your soundtracks to the MusicBrainz database, but I have to specify a label (as in record label). I notice you have catalog numbers (EBR 002, for example), but no label! What should I enter in the "Label" fields?

VaderLives
10-30-2010, 03:36 PM
Man, I do loves me some Bond music, and these are pretty much fantastic! This version of From Russia With Love, my favorite of the John Barry scores, was excellent. And this version of License to Kill was absolutely outstanding. I forgot just how good the score to that film was, though coming from Michael Kamen that’s no surprise.

It’s unfortunate to see, though, that Goldeneye still appears to be missing a bit. Particularly saddening is the fact that my favorite piece that was omitted from the commercial release is still absent here: the brief interlude of the Bond Theme when he first arrives in St. Petersburg and is walking out of the airport. It can’t be more than ten seconds long, but they’re ten of the best seconds of the entire score in my opinion. However what was added is great, and the sound quality, particularly for the title song, is stunning. It would have been cool if the demo version that Bono recorded singing it himself was included as well, but I already have that so it’s no big deal. Though I do greatly, greatly appreciate that both versions of the tank chase were included. I bought the Bond Back in Action Volume 2 album years ago because it had the film version on there, but now for some reason that song, just that song, which was the only thing I bought the cd for, refuses to import into my computer correctly. So big thanks for that.

Up next on my to-listen list is Tomorrow Never Dies, which is my favorite of all the Bond scores. I’m eager to see if this version will be worth replacing what I already have.

Thanks for all of this! And add me to the list of those very eagerly awaiting The World is Not Enough. I’m also greatly looking forward to my second favorite of the Barry scores, You Only Live Twice. And that album of rejected music is particularly intriguing as well.

You could be right about the bootlegs, but listen to this clip from 1:03-2:58 and you’ll see what I mean. It’s only about 8 seconds that differ between the movie version and the relesed soundtrack version, but still a clear difference: YouTube – Opening Sequence 3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tG1GcSnalAw)

The horse chase music is also incomplete, I think ripped from a Dolby Surround home video mix. The fanfare is the re-recording from Bond Back in Action 2 (its on the clip). Then theres stuff from the OST, followed by the Cleaning Up cue from my EBR CD posted here.

AAHHHH!!! I’m going mad waiting for TWINE!! Anyway, I’m going to watch [I]License To Kill [I] today… almost everyone on this thread said Michael Kamen did a great score, but I’m going to watch it just to be sure before I start the download.

Anyway, Takehiro, wich brings me to my question, look at this clip… it’s the DVD menu of TWINE…

YouTube – James Bond Ultimate Edition DVD Menus – The World is Not Enough (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VH_e09Z4yc0)

TWINE is the boat chase music. Not sure about DAD but all the DVD menus use tracks from the commercial OSTs, so nothing new there.
Oh and the LTK score is amazing, I would kill for a proper commercial expansion. Some really great, brooding music (which Kamen does so well) for this darker Bond movie. I love the "I’d Need a Cannon" cue, as well as "Dario’s Death" and Finale. Not to mention the epic "Sentinel" cue!

Thank you, Takehiro for the upload.

I’m really looking forward to listen to the complete TWINE-score. I love David Arnold’s 007-work and although it will never be a match to any of John Barry’s 007-work, I’m glad that he is doing the job nowadays. I believe Arnold’s work on TND is still his best, with TWINE as a runner up. Arnold uses the James Bond theme in the scores in the same way as Barry did and I think that is the key of succes in the Bond scores. Never change a winning formula. Afterwards it was very difficult to match the excellent TND-score and therefore TWINE was an very good continuation. I was very dissapointed in DAD, because it wasn’t an improvement or even a match of TWINE and I had a bad feeling on what he will do on CR. Maybe Arnold felt this also and the way he has done CR and QOS, both very good and fresh, you can feel he has still some span in exploring the 007-music. Hopefully his work on Bond 23 will be again a new, fresh direction.
Thanks again, Takehiro for the nice job and maybe we have to change your name into Takehero of the Bond scores… ๐Ÿ˜‰

TWINE is superb…however the entire Swiss Bank opening music is missing. That???s a piece of music everyone has been hunting for years. Let me supply you with a overall clean version, then the score should be fairly complete.

Thank you but without even playing this, my guess its a rear channel DVD rip with the SFX edited out and crossfaded. Thats what every version is that I have heard.

I like some of DA’s stuff, but to me I want a return to the classic, more romantic sound. I think its time they got someone new.

Also, DA is a bit of a bighead from what I know. That doesnt sit well with me, too much ego is a baaaaaad thing…

I was curious and just listened to TWINE. Not very good music (the 2nd half is notably uninteresting). The mastering with the powerful resounding sound and highs makes that after the 20 minutes I spent browsing into the tracks I need only one thing: rest ! ๐Ÿ˜‰

I completely disagree with everyone on this thread who says David Arnold can’t live up to the score of John Barry… seriously guys, DA has reinvented Bond! It’s the 21st Century people, u can’t expect Barry to rise from the dead and do it? (I dunno if he’s still alive… ) And DA’s fusion of orchestra and electronica makes it all the more fun to listen to! TND’s score was great and TWINE’s is better! Although, he could have cut out on using the James Bond theme a lot, but nevertheless, enjoy it, TWINE’s score is DA’s best score. =D

John Barry is alive and well – its his birthday today and Im gonna celebrate it by playing his music ALL DAY ๐Ÿ˜€ But naturally, its fair to say DA isnt gonna live up to an older, more experienced composer – not at this time in his life, anyway. Maybe DA will end up being the next John Barry but its doubtful. Besides, one JB is all we need in the world, right? Thats what makes him special.

I dont hate DA, I just dont think hes as good.

This is what soundtracks do for me. Make me smile as i remember and this score is one of them.

Another reason I love JB – someone (I think Richard Attenborough) said JB is such a quiet man that his music has this wonderful sense of introversion that comes through in his compositions. For me, they hit the nail on the head with that statement. Even in his most intense action themes, it doesnt feel overblown or egotistical or superficial. DA, however, is a bit of a bighead (from what I gather, and he thinks hes funny when he isnt) and I think when you’re like that, you kind of hit the audience over the head with noise and multilayered pieces to compensate for your lack of style or skill. Perhaps skill is the wrong word, as I do like some of DA’s stuff. But no one beats JB and no one ever will.

There is a copy of the bilbao escape music on youtube (unless it has been yanked off). it has very minor sfx, and i do mean minor, otherwise it’s clean. I slotted it into my expanded listing and it sounds fine.

Yeah, there is. But EBR pride themselves on only including music if its FX free – and not MP3 sourced!

I completely disagree with everyone on this thread who says David Arnold can’t live up to the score of John Barry… seriously guys, DA has reinvented Bond! It’s the 21st Century people, u can’t expect Barry to rise from the dead and do it? (I dunno if he’s still alive… ) And DA’s fusion of orchestra and electronica makes it all the more fun to listen to! TND’s score was great and TWINE’s is better! Although, he could have cut out on using the James Bond theme a lot, but nevertheless, enjoy it, TWINE’s score is DA’s best score. =D

I agree with that except I find Casino Royale and Tomorrow Never Dies to be the pinnacle of his music thus far. He really nailed the Bond sound and is the only other composer in the entire series to even come close to Barry. Hamlisch and Kamen weren’t too memorable, imo. I personally like Arnold more than Barry but I’m a sucker for how David can write a visceral sound with the brass, vigorous string runs and driving percussion. African Rundown is a great example ;). John Barry top that!

John Barry: 007, Girl Trouble, Spectre Island, Golden Girl, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, OHMSS, We Have All The Time In The World, Diamonds Are Forever, Moonraker, The Sniper Was A Woman…last but not least: HIS arrangment of the JAMES BOND THEME.

What would the "Bond sound" and all later composers of the Bond universe as a whole, be without all this music?

Point taken! I’m not saying that John Barry isn’t good. I just think that Arnold took what John did and took it further. I found the older scores to lack the big and lush orchestral sound of Arnold (look at his orchestral arrangement of OHMSS Orchapella Ver.), but really the credit should go to Nicolas Dodd, Arnold’s orchestrator. I guess I’m more into the contemporary style of DA. Barry did set the precedent and I will definitely agree with that DA wouldn’t be where he is without JB.

Takehiro, even the Submarine Escape and Doctor’s order cues are missing… u are missing quite a bit from TWINE… so, the score is far from being complete. U’ve got about 5 tracks missing. That’s all i know and i’m counting on u for the remaining stuff. Now anticipating the Living Daylights OST.

11-06-2010, 01:01 PM
Ok he has some other cues but the sound quality is too poor to be of any real use. The doctor love scene is lacking quite a bit of high end. It would stand out against the rest of the score.

Everyone, I have removed TWINE for now. I do believe NCFirebolt has a point about missing cues. Im going to see if I can get some of missing cues reinstated with the best sound quality. I will re-up soon and post the new version. Keep your eyes peeled.

I did say a few songs were missing, my suggestion is to keep the original OST rar file, and upload the missing cues in another RAR… that way, whoever’s actually downloaded TWINE from you won’t have to do it again.
PS. The Gunbarrel of TWINE has a very odd volume change and crackle… if u know what i mean, if u listen closely, it’s like the Gunbarrel from TND has been mixed over it…


KaFaraqGatri
11-07-2010, 02:10 PM
There’d be no point adding a new RAR to the site. The id3 tags/track numbers are going to be out if sync then and some cues might be reordered/ changed with any new cues that get added. The artwork will also need changing. I’ll let you know how EBR does with it.

Sean Barry
11-08-2010, 12:20 AM
Just listened to AVTAK, Takeshiro. It’s great to here so many missing cues, but I expected the movie version of snow job instead of only short bits in the Suite, the music where Bond is reaching for Stacey as Zorin grabs here and the cue where Bond and Stacey are in the flames to name a few. I really hate to complain, as I know you’re doing what you can, but I just think it’s a shame these cues still are unavailable ๐Ÿ™

OK. i take back my previous post, maybe i was lil too harsh on Lazenby. New contenders for worst Bond movie ever are between, DAD, OHMSS & QoS. Casino Royale 2006 was really good, how could people not like it? Bond 23 is coming out in November 2012… they better have a good plot and director… Marc Forester wasn’t that great doing QoS’s direction. Craig’s talent is seriously being wasted…

Speaking of slow-pacing, watching Thunderball a few years ago for the first time in decades, I was struck at how slow it was.

Its a great movie though, just different to most of the other wham-bam Bond movies.

I agree it’s not as complete but some files in the 2009 ed are bigger= not as compressed, and therefor one can combine it with yours (if you want) to get the best possible sound experience. I’m not trying to step on your toes, just trying to help out ๐Ÿ˜€

But you also dont know that someone hasnt ripped those from an MP3-CD, thus doubley compressing them, and/or used a bad codec. Mine are L.A.M.E. rips from the original CDs with a good frequency response. I just think mines a safer bet for anyone who knows about audio quality.

Thanks for The World is Not Enough. That is most certainly the best available version of the bank music. I’ve always thought that piece and the boat chase music are some of Arnold’s finest action scoring.

Here’s something i don’t understand… the whole QoS soundtrack lasts only 1:10:42 seconds… and if the movie was 2.5 hours, how many cues are missing? Or they just didn’t have music for the other half of the movie?

The movie itself was dissapointly only 1h46m long, which is very non-007, besides the first three films in the franchise. And if you than add the source music in Puerto Rico and the whole Tosca opera sequence, you have approximately an additional 15m of music … The missing cues would then be not that much, I believe ‘the Shootout when Bond and Greene are leaving the opera’ is the longest among other more smaller cues…

What is wrong with the complete score in Rafael 00_Agent’s thread? Thread 45183
Isn’t that very complete? Besides QOS, every score in Takehiro’s thread are so more complete.

And, what about this one: http://speedsoft.site11.com/quantum_of_solace_expanded_score.html That is very complete and excellent! ๐Ÿ™‚

Ignore all 2CD sets of QoS. They are FAKES. For one, the credits music is a hack job between CR credits and QoS credis post-gunshot (the edit is to hide the sound effect!) It also pads out the running time with non-score music and tracks from CR.

EBR is the only way to go, peeps!

OK guys and gals, Thunderball is in and its another blinder of a set. 102 mins, and almost 50 tracks. I am also happy to report the great sound quality – some of the EMI releases from 2003 (notably this and AVTAK) were mastered "overly-bright" in terms of sound. None of that is present in this double CD set.

If I’m not mistaken, not counting the sourced music, the QoS soundtrack is only missing the piece heard when Bond flees the bar in Bolivia and the end credits music. Takehiro’s album has the end credits, so you’re just missing the other cue, which is probably 30 seconds long.

But you also dont know that someone hasnt ripped those from an MP3-CD, thus doubley compressing them, and/or used a bad codec. Mine are L.A.M.E. rips from the original CDs with a good frequency response. I just think mines a safer bet for anyone who knows about audio quality.

I’m no compressing-expert but to me it seems illogical that doubley compressing a file should result in MORE MB-size wise since the whole concept of compressing is to make a file smaller and compact (as in Compact Disc and so on). Your rips sounded fine to me, but could you please explain a little further about your theory here or in a mail?

Meaning, those supposedly 320kb/s files could easily be ripped from a CD that was burned from 128kbp/s MP3s. An MP3 encoder doesnt "know" whether a source file is lossy or not, it just treats it as a full-size file that it compresses. So if you download some MP3s at 128k, burn them to CD, then rip that CD to 320k, the MP3 encoder will be giving all those KB to recreate the signal but they will be wasted, as the source material is a lower-bitrate originally.

And re-encoding a 128k file to a 320k file doesnt make it sound better ๐Ÿ™‚ Once the frequencies are lost due to compression, you cant bring them back.

Andee, that gets my vote for post of the day ๐Ÿ™‚

I totally and utterly disagree mate. Dalton’s portrayal of Bond — particularly Licence to Kill — paved the way for Craig. Dalton set the ball rolling, the world just wasnt ready for it yet (surprisingly). Now people are lapping up the "gritty Bond" feel. Dalton should always be honored for setting the standard for that. I tell people every chance I get whenever I hear them praising Craig for being so dark!

Thanks very much for FRWL and Thunderball. Felt that FRWL’s sequencing was unbalanced compared to the official version but that’s a minor thing compared to the melodic quality and variation. Thunderball was better than expexted (and that says a bit since I’ve listened to the suite and the Mr Kiss Kiss Bang tracks on The Best Of James Bond limited ed for many years now!). Great sound, sequencing and I listened to it with only one late pause. Aprecciate it! ๐Ÿ˜€

Sean Barry
11-22-2010, 10:09 PM
So… the film order of a score is worse? I disagree in every way!

For me there’s a difference in watching the film with score because when you do there are sometimes pauses of either silence or the characters talking/walking/doing something else. When you listen to an album with the soundtrack the music have to stand on its own without the images. You maybe experince this differently but for me listening to only the music there’s another need for variety in sound and intensity from track to track to keep the flow up and not exhaust my ears. That’s ’cause I have a slight hearing disorder. Maybe it’s a character difference as well?

No no no, please don’t! Seriously, there are a lot of people on here (myself included) who truly love and appreciate these scores, and we REALLY appreciate you putting all of these up here for us to enjoy. (Myself, I’m selfishly looking forward to Octopussy.)

As for that ebay bastard, I’m really glad his listings were removed, and all of us here will definitely report any other asshole that tries to pull that shit again. Just point that way. *cracks knuckles* =)

Well if anyone on here thats registered is from Japan, it could easily be one of those guys.

Anyway, I promise I will continue to post the rest of the scores (external circumstances like closure of the board, not withstanding). Goldfinger is likely to be next.

Personally I don’t care, just reading here from time to time. What I think is that’s a very bad idea to ask though. I understand that some people are excited and are looking forward to see what you’ll come up with next, and I also understand you’re excited yourself looking forward to read comments on your effort and the exceptional stuff you bring through this topic. Nevertheless, you don’t owe nothing to anybody here and you really should do as you feel, imho.

I hope this is the last time we have this problem. Your efforts are appreciated, Takehiro. A CD made from MP3 files… what a waste of space!

Anyway, let’s steer this thread towards something more positive. Does anybody know where that upbeat version of Goldfinger sung by Anthony Newley came from? The slower, more relaxed one is in the "Best of Bond…James Bond" album, but was the other one ever released commercially?

@Takehiro

I just want to say that I really appreciate your shares. Honestly they’ve been nothing short of life enriching for me. You certainly don’t owe anyone these great gifts but I do want to encourage you to continue on. Because I do care.

And whomever has been abusing your generosity deserves to be sliced in half from the groin up by Goldfinger’s lazer!

Eagerly awaiting John Barry’s Masterpiece: Goldfinger with some/many extras. By the way, I remember reading quite a long time ago that the original master tapes were missing. I also am curious about the source of these scores. If Goldfinger is as well done as Thunderball was (love "The Casino" and "Underwater Ballet") Goldfinger fans are probably in for a treat!

KaFaraqGatri
12-03-2010, 12:55 AM
Underwater Ballet is on the EMI 2003 release (albeit its hissy and overbright). And no master tapes are missing, people just havent looked hard enough for them ๐Ÿ™‚

Clouseau, if you look through this thread you will see many times I have stated that I just rip and upload them. Nothing more!

It is interesting that a soundtrack like Moonraker would get a 30 minute release on LP, yet John Barry only composed about 40 minutes of music for the film that was his own compositions. Tracked music from Elmer Bernstein and John Williams could be left out. It is a shame that they would allow a 45 minute album for Golden Gun, yet for Moonraker they could have produced an album that was almost "complete" back in 1979. The days when films didn’t need to be padded from start to finish with music.

Well guys, another kick in the nuts. Apparently now someone else is taking credit for MY uploads. Some years ago, a site in Spain selling bootleg CDs called RareScores went out of business. I found a trade website last night that credits their own team with some of my Bond scores. And they are selling them for 100 Euros a score. Theyve made their own artwork but the content is identical to those posted here.

It makes me wanna quit upping them right now and just keep em to myself. What a bunch of c***s.

Think of it like this. They’re the fools. They’re selling something that people can get for free from you. And they have a pretty big chance of being cracked down on by the law. They’re selling copyrighted work for a profit. Much worse than posting it for free. If worse comes to worse you’ll just be told to remove the links, but they’ll be stuck with a hefty fine and told to pay back the money.

Plus you only have 3 movies left to post. Might as well just finish it up. Like I said people here have stayed loyal. Don’t let idiot leechers and con-artist ruin it for you and the others.

I wouldn’t mind Takehiro having a personal mailing list… but what we need is a confidentiality agreement that nobody reuploads/takes full credit for the scores… and remove the links from the front page. PM everyone who asks for whichever score. Like right now I’m waiting for TSWLM score. Watched it yesterday and thought that even though Marvin Hamlisch didn’t compose a few songs (like Bach’s Air and Elivra Madigan) I still thought he did a pretty good job for a 70’s score.

David was mainly disappointed in Madonna’s main title song, and the editing done on the CD, he felt that the disc could have been fuller and better edited.

Well since that be the case, would you mind possibly leaking a link of The Die Another Day complete score bootleg that’s better than 128 (which is what I have of it) or else providing direction to a pre-existing link? Ideally I like to have it in 320 mp3.

No, David never leaked it out, he asked ME to do it, so I did!!! ๐Ÿ™‚
David was mainly disappointed in Madonna’s main title song, and the editing done on the CD, he felt that the disc could have been fuller and better edited.

William

I agree with David Arnold…the Madonna main title song has got to be the worst Bond theme EVER!

BTW I also wanted to say thank you to Takehiro and all of the contributing members in this thread making it freakin’ awesome. ๐Ÿ˜€

Well, not THE worse, but almost. I have to say that the main title score from "Tomorrow never dies", which was thrown in at the LAST minute, in a special deal, apart from the composer, and without his knowledge, had to have been the worse one out there. The ORIGINAL main theme song, which was performed by K.D. Lang, is one of my favorites. Don’t get me wrong, I like Sheryl Crow, and I think she is a fine singer, but K.D. Lang’s voice, as displayed on this song is SOOOO much more dynamic, and the song is one of those that kicks around in your brain all day. The song was retitled "Surrender" and it is used for the end titles. Check it out. I had a special version of this film produced on DVD with the original main theme put back in, which is about 25-30 seconds longer than the Sheryl Crow song, so special footage had to be put in, or the song had to be edited, and THAT I would NOT allow! It’s great!

Thanks for your great works and great collection.I think among Arnold’s works, "The World is Not Enough" is one of my favorite but it’s the only one that is missing from a list of "complete" version. I’ve heard about some COMPLETE RIP version with sightly SFX but never really know it is real or rumors.Your "expanded" TWINE is one and only thing that made my day.Have you know why TWINE is missing?

I can supply you with the EBR version posted here in a better quality if you like? The version I posted is from the same DAT and it contains more music than the one you found on that website.

If its any cosolation, extreme variable bitrate (VBR 0) encoded with LAME is better than 320k.

Ah, you learn something new everyday!

Cool, thanks Takehiro!:)

William, you’re absolutely right about "Surrender" — what an excellent song. I don’t mind the Sheryl Crow song, but if they had stuck with the original plan, they’d have been much better off.

Somewhat along these same lines, have you heard the Shirley Bassey/David Arnold song "No Good About Goodbye"? It wasn’t written expressly for "Quantum of Solace," but it makes for a pretty good replacement title song for that movie nonetheless.


KaFaraqGatri
01-08-2011, 09:22 PM
I heard it WAS a title song, after all the first line is "Where is the solace?"

biff_stroganoff
01-09-2011, 07:02 AM
I’m no expert, but what I’ve read — and I can’t remember where I read it, even — is that it was written after the fact, but was written by Arnold sort of as an example of what sort of thing he would have done for the title song if he had been given the opportunity. And some of the music is clearly reuse of some of his score for the movie.

Either way, it’s pretty good stuff. Not as good as "Surrender," but definitely better than the White/Keys song (which has a few decent sections but is mostly pretty poor, in my opinion).

You should use "JDownloader". It works well with free links. And Premium. But also Free.
I sometimes get that for free links, but with JDownloader, I can just leave it sitting there overnight and hopefully the expiration will be done with by the time it downloads.
With JDownloader, you’ll never have to worry about Captcha Recognition (for RS/MU/NL/DepositF/ZShare/Direct HTTP; for HF/FSonic/FServe/Duckload you’ll need to input the Captcha) or monitoring the download. Just add the links, start the downloads and walk away!
It’s as easy as 1, 2, BAM!!!
Just Add, Download, and walk awa–BAM!!!

MU does have issues on its own however. You might have to wait a day or two for that expiration to void itself. I waited an entire week in some cases.
It just takes patience.
With JDownloader, you can check on it to see if it’s completed. It will complete the download, but it just takes patience for that expired problem.

I use JDownloader all the time, it’ll auto-extract WinRAR archives (need to attach password to container properties if one exists).
For files that are split with HJSplit or whatever people use, it’ll merge the split files (file.001, file.002, etc) into one file.
It does CRC checks as well to let you know if it turned out okay.
It aborts on extraction errors, you’ll have to check the log to see what went wrong.
It also checks to see if the files are online when you input the links.
Works particularly well for people who give Multiupload links, as it’ll check all mirrors it has been uploaded to.

One of my earliest — and fondest memories — is of being a small child enraptured by a showing of Goldfinger on television. Ever since, I have been hooked on 007, and John Barry was (and always will be) a massive part of that.

Rest in peace, Mr. Barry, and thanks for all the entertainment.

Unavoidable but sad, the creator of the James Bond Sound is no more. We will miss him. I was eleven years old when Goldfinger played on the radio for the first time. That opened my mind for something quite unique. (And I don’t mean Shirley Bassey.) And it’s stayed open ever since. John Barry was a giant. A giant on who’s shoulders many filmcomposers have been standing. Apart from his eleven Bond soundtracks, he composed several unforgettable scores. We all have our own favorites, so I won’t name any of them here. We know which ones they are. I can see them all; Max Steiner, Franz Waxman, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Elmer Bernstein, Jerry Goldsmith, and now John Barry, sitting there in heaven, digging each others music. Have fun, guys. We down here will try to make the best of what you all left for us to enjoy, over and over again.

That sucks. I really liked his music (still like). I love Moonraker. I also really enjoyed a lesser known soundtrack of his, Disney’s The Black Hole.
I just love the way he can carry a theme in such a slow tempo. It’s riveting! It really adds depth to whatever’s on screen. It gives a demanding presence to any character or space ship. It’s like action music in slow motion, beautifully!

KaFaraqGatri
02-01-2011, 02:21 AM
Totally, his slower action scoring is amazing. Everyone refers to him as being an introspective composer and I totally think that comes thru in his music. His music speaks to me because of that.

I can’t believe John Barry is gone forever. I feel he never really got the credit he deserved. Especially concerning James Bond Theme. Monty Norman maybe did come up with the original idea, but I’m convinced it wouldn’t have been such an enduring piece of music, without JB’s ingenious arrangment. Well even though John Barry Prendergast has left planet earth, his spirit lives on through his immortal music. I don’t care if it sounds bombastic. Rest in peace John Barry. Your music helped me see the beyondness of things.

I can’t believe John Barry is gone forever. I feel he never really got the credit he deserved. Especially concerning James Bond Theme.

He scored 11 out of 22 James Bond movies. I’d say he got all the credits he (rightfully) deserved and then some. Not only creating a music style for Bond but also to an whole worldwide generation of spy movies during the sixties and following decades. After Ian Fleming, and the actors that portrayed Bond on the screen, he and Albert Brocolli must have been the most recognized names that a person knows from the James Bond universe.

As for the James Bond theme, I think we all know who was the really responsible of it, despite of what the court has decided. For granted that Norman is the autor of the song that has one from the two main phrases of the James Bond theme, but the orchestrations are Barry through and through. If Barry wouldn’t be involved, I doubt the theme would last to today and be so popular as it is.

Hgo. Take already uploaded A View to a Kill. From what I know what he’s uploaded is all he has. He doesn’t have complete scores to all the films. Just expanded scores. But man I want that sequence as well. To have the complete version of Snow Job would rock.

mtjs
02-09-2011, 05:22 AM
Well, if they re-release a score, I think it will most likely be The Man with the Golden Gun. The following may be a flimsy theory, but here it goes: as we know, the gunbarrel music as heard in the expanded soundtrack of Diamonds Are Forever is missing the reverb present in the original mono track of the film; the same happens to be the case with the Ultimate Edition DVD. I’m not an expert, but I presume they used the soundtrack when creating the new 5.1 track for that edition. The soundtrack of TMWTGG doesn’t include the gunbarrel, but it’s easy to notice that once again, the gunbarrel in the audio track created for the Ultimate Edition is missing the reverb present in the mono track, a sign that a new stereo mix, created from the masters, may have been used. This mix may be lying in a vault somewhere, thus making a new release of the score a lot easier. There was a post in the FSM boards in which someone mentioned that, according to another post (which I couldn’t find), the masters had indeed been used for TMWTGG. As I said, flimsy theory, but not out of the realm of possibility.

At filesonic.com "captcha" appears plus the letters FS. There’s no field to write these in and when I click "submit" I keep getting "Wrong code. Try again". And so it goes on. I’ve tried downloading from hotfile and everywhere else (I think) but it seems I’m being blocked out or something. Help’s appreciated since I’m being ignored in the above mentioned thread. I’m using Firefox. Thanks in advance/ Sean Barry

Honestly your best bet might be to just get a month account with FileSonic. Seeing as it’s being used as the host for a lot of soundtracks now a days anyways. You’ll get pretty good download speeds and unlimited downloads. There’s also no waiting time either. You can have it set to direct download too. So once you click the link it just goes right to downloading rather than having to go through there home page. I had an account with filesonic, but it just recently expired.

All I can tell you is that I downloaded it with no problems at all. I use Explorer, so it might be worth your time to try that instead of Firefox. Beyond that, I’ve got no advice for you. Sorry!

Yes. For whatever reason. Firefox doesn’t work with Filesonic. I don’t know why, but from my experience this rings true. I get to the downloading part and the download always just glitches and downloads the link to filesonic rather than the file, but on Internet Explorer it works just fine.

lol i replied to the first thraed you brouth this up in. if firefox has add-ons like ad-blocker, ghostery, or anything else that blocks unwanted junk, it might be preventing you from seeing the input box. or it could be if you have any "download’ tools or accelarators installed.
run firefox in safe-mode to disable all add-ons.
Window button + r (for the run command)
type in…

firefox -safe-mode

Biff and Spark: No disrespect with your names. Just pissed off and fed up cause nothing seems to be working with downloading for me anymore. I don’t know if this is the problem source but I switched to Firefox after some troubles with fake viruses. Then I installed Ad Block Plus. I tried donwloading from Explorer again but it’s the same story over there. I tried the safemode bit but I didn’t work and I didn’t get a message "continue in safe mode". I even installed JK downloader but it didn’t work either. Why have must everything end up on fileserve these days?! I can’t take this anymore! ๐Ÿ™

Do you have Spybot Search & Destroy installed? If not, download it, install it, update it, immunize it and then and run a scan. Then uninstall and reinstall Firefox and try again. I also recommend AVG Free 2011, the best anti virus and anti spyware tool. Forget any other AV programs, you should never have to pay for good AV.

Not quite up there with scooping their eyeballs out with a spoon, or splitting their bones open with a wedge and sledge hammer, or maybe taking a belt sander to their knee caps, or even using a soldering iron to open up their sinuses. Indeed, it isn’t as bad as nailing their feet to the floor, covering them in Ragu spaghetti sauce and unleashing the rabid weasels, marmots, wolverines, dingoes, and starving Ethiopian babies.

In keeping with the theme of this thread, perhaps they should be secured spread eagle on a platform, while a portly German explains to them that they are looking at an industrial laser which emits an extraordinary light, not to be found in nature. It can project a spot on the moon… or at closer range, cut through solid metal. And then…. then…. when they say "Do you expect me to talk?", the German can bark out a laugh and say "No, I expect you to die."

That might be more awful.

Maybe not.

Hey gang, in honor of this excellent thread (Thanks to much, Takehiro!!), I’d like to share some Cover Artwork I’ve made for these albums. No offense to Takehiro, since his cover art is also fantastic, but I am pretty obsessed with covers, so I am constantly making alternate art in Photoshop for fun.
Attached are links to covers for (the ones I’ve downloaded for myself so far):
– The Living Daylights – John Barry
– License to Kill – Michael Kamen
– Tomorrow Never Dies – David Arnold
– Die Another Day – David Arnold

These are all in 600×600 pixels, which is my favorite size for iTunes, not too big, not too small. Although if someone wants the original sizes, I could upload those as well (their size depends merely on whatever artwork I was able to find online). Anyways, enjoy!

Which is the font you used for "Original Expanded Score Composed etc etc"?
This cover for TND u made is actually the official one for the Definitive Collection of Original Bond OST’s if u don’t know… it looks good, but Tak’s TND cover looks fab. U could make TWINE and GE. =D
Nevertheless, good job.


thegrizz70x7
02-22-2011, 05:35 AM
Thanks for the comments, thoughts are always appreciated. The font I used is called "007 GoldenEye", just do a google search and you will find it for free. As to similarities to covers from past releases, it’s certainly possible. Granted, I’m in no way trying to copy someone else’s work, but I just deal with the artwork I can find, and sometimes a certain poster has already been used because it’s the best, and I just add my own little twist to it, and try to find the best possible poster art i can find. In the case of TND and Living Daylights, I pretty much just used the standard poster and made some tweaks, with License to Kill, I actually combined two different posters for that movie, since I found it made a more colorful and dynamic image than either of them separately.
All that said, I’m in no way trying to negate other people’s covers, simply offering some alternatives. As to your other requests, I will try to keep making more eventually, but can’t guarantee they be up too soon–that said, definitely if and once I have some new ones, I’ll post them here again!

I was finally able to scrape up enough money to get the glorious 160gb iPod I’d been lusting over, and thus have now had a chance to listen to all of these. What can I say that hasn’t already been said? Fantasticness! I must say my favorite parts of these have to be the instrumental versions of the title songs (though I was heartbroken to see that my favorite one, View to a Kill, did not have one). Also, where did those David Arnold pieces on OHMSS come from? Is this another album I have to track down?

I absolutely cannot wait for Goldfinger and You Only Live Twice! And now you’re talking about expanded Zimmer stuff? Oh man. I have to ask, is there any chance of the Pirates of the Caribbean scores being included in that lot? If so you will rock my socks off even harder.

Thanks again!

HI Takehiro,

First of all thanks a lot for your expanded Bond scores. I really appreciate your effort and your willingness to share them. I noticed though that in many of your expanded Bond OST’s there are still many pieces missing which do appear in the movies. For instance, in A View to a Kill, Goldeneye, The World is not enough, For your Eyes only…my question is if you still have these missing cues somewhere or not. I guess everybody would be more than excited to hear the missing music on these great works.

THANKS!

People, if you have listened to me at all these past months you will know I cannot always just drop one thing and do another. I have to wait for them to come to me first before I rip and upload them.

I’ll see about Goldfinger, OK? And then I will see about the other ones too.

About the Octopussy soundtrack, would anyone have the correct tracklist of the album version ? The 11 tracks are more or less in disorder, and I have not seen for a long time the movie to remember the right order.

Thanks !

Oh, unfortunately we can’t. It’s just a list of the cues in film order, from a knowledgeable source.

Metzlander
03-17-2011, 06:18 PM
I closely took a look at your corrected traclist, and if I suppress the unaivalable cues it seems that the order on the album is the same as the film order (only one exception: the prologue cue "Bond look-alike" which comes before the title song). This is quite strange I must say, because I don’t understand why "That’s my little octopussy" would come before "Bond meets Octopussy", and as far as I remember the Palace Fight take place long before the bomb chase.

"That’s my little Octopussy" plays when Bond and Magda are in bed, long before "Bond meets Octopussy", which is heard when, well, Bond meets Octopussy. "The chase bomb theme" plays when Bond is in Germany, trying to get to the circus to defuse the bomb. After that scene, he returns to India, and "The palace fight" is heard, so there is no mistake.

Dr. No would be something to behold. Since official sources claim that no actual score exist anymore, it would be really fantastic to get that one. If you fix that score, you’ll be on the top of my list forever and ever.

For fans who want to keep track of what Tak is doing for music, you can join his new group he created today!!
I suggested it to him as a means of keeping track of stuff he did or will do.
Like keeping a list of music he’s released.
And a list of music he’s going to release.
Maybe even discuss things.
Maybe even suggest things.
Maybe even join the group?

Takehiro’s Scores – Final Fantasy Shrine Forums (http://forums.ffshrine.org/groups/takehiro-s-scores/)

I thought it would be a better idea than creating a single thread like others here.
I dont think DL links are allowed in there, but I think he should be able to link to his pages/threads he’s created throughout the forum.
It’s just a simpler way of indexing created threads/pages without cluttering the DL/GD section.

Plus, it’s more private.

A tiny snippet of music from the dam scene, the first part of The GoldenEye Overture, the Manticore fight, the Tiger escape, some music from the finale, plus a couple of other short pieces. Not a lot though.

I’m sorry that I have to disagree with you here, I guess I’m only one who thinks atleast 2 of those missing pieces are a great deal to me…
Anyway, all I can say thanks for the great deal of hard work you put into this man. I’m currently going for Moonraker as this album got it’s gunbarrel plagued with cut-ups!

Edit: Man, I finally read trough all pages of this thread, I sure missed alot. Yeah, I was living under a rock. Some fun stuff happen, satisfactions sad things and disturbing events. T.H. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, as fellow Bond, Barry, Norman and Fleming fan for such a brilliant work you’re doing and would also say that it saddens me for the bloody events that you fellow comrads and especially you T.H. had to bloody go through!

I promise you that I will not post here again, due to your obvious ego/big-head problem. And I’m not the only one who feels this way.

Geez dude, chillout. Just create a new thread if you have your own stuff. Why would you want to clutter up and confuse Takehiro’s scores with your versions? No need to go all scorched earth about it.

For the record Takehiro, I appreciate your work thus far and those to follow. Those of us who have ever unpacked from a move feel your pain also. Take all the time you need my friend.

Ok moving on…

With the sad passing John Barry recently I wish that the next Bond movie soundtrack would be a tribute throwback to his style. David Arnold’s work is great but I miss the feel of the Barry soundtracks. If Arnold would just plagiarize the heck out of his style for the next one with say, Allison Goldfrapp and maybe ties in some Cinematic Orchestra (think the album Motion). I just miss the old big band bond sound so much!

Anyone else agree or am I just stuck in the cold war?

I completely agree. I would love to see Barry’s Bond score style return. Such as Moonraker or A View to a Kill styles. Sadly, this wont happen because everything right now is shit. Noise and cacophony wins over melody or talent these days. It would be great if big commercial productions have amazing and memorable music. And they do. In Japan, just not US.

wow Goldfrapp! I didn’t see that one coming and now that i’m thinking about it I believe you are absolutely right. Excellent choice. I love her song ‘Utopia’. She is certainly up to the task of doing a Bond song, and probably with much better results than of the latest songs.

I loved Giacchino’s score for The Incredibles…

Well yeah- If anyone wanted Michael Giacchino to do a bond score, they should look at The Incredibles because it essentially IS a bond score.

Considering how the earliest trailers for The Incredibles featured music from OHMSS it’s not hard to see where the inspiration came from- Michael said so himselfthat the Bond scores were a heavy influence. Hell some of the Incredibles tracks are dead ringers for bond music. Marital Rescue sounds almost just like Dawn Raid on Fort Knox, for example, Missile Lock is Count Down, New and Improved is… whatever they called the goldfinger laser music with a dash of oriental bond music added, Kronos Unveiled (my favourite) is Capsule in Space, and as for lithe or death… Bond Back in Action Again, anyone?


Cushing
04-19-2011, 08:26 PM
Well … according to a guy I knew who knew John Barry he was approached to write the score for The Incredibles and asked to do a sixties style Bond score but after attempting some bits and pieces he declined and told the guy I knew that he was having great difficulty going back to that style.

Giacchino’s score was perfect! For once he didn’t have that mournful tone of the early Medal Of Honor (1997-2000) games…
I don’t mind if he does Bond 23, I’d love to see what this man can do with Bond.
But I want Hans Zimmer to do Bond 23 mainly because… well… he’s done almost everything but Bond… he’s gone from doing Rain Man to Inception and The Lion King to Madagascar… and right now, if you consider, (with John Williams probably retired… I think…) Hans is THE best composer in the world right now.

Great suggestion about Hans Zimmer, but isn’t he, at the moment, too big to do Bond? If it turns wrong, because Bond is Bond and Bond-fans are very demanding concerning the score, it would be a smudge on his career so far. I like David Arnold, but I’m not blown away with his interpretations of the whole idea what a Bond score has to be. Maybe I’m a bit old skool when it comes to it, because John Barry is just unmatched in the Bond movies and then it is time to move on. Arnold has got his shot and by times it was good and entertaining but nothing more than that.
Giacchino I love, but what about John Powell?? Or maybe Harry Gregson-Williams?? It would be great to hear what they would do with the project…

I’d say Powell would be a good choice to take over the Bond score, but I’m scared it might type-cast him as an action/spy genre type artist.
He has the Bourne movies already.
But then again, I have absolute confidence he can deliver a score that most wouldn’t type-cast him anyway.

I mentioned Zimmer mainly because of movies like the Last Samurai, Pirates and most notably, the Nolan Batman films… he’s like (possibly, to me) John Barry’s successor in the 21st Century… he knows what instruments to use, the setting of a particular scene and all the factors that make a great movie… and another thing I’ve noticed is Zimmer’s scores have never bombed or gone below expectations… He can pull it off, but I agree that he might be a little too scared about destroying the essence of Bond created by Barry and continued by Arnold…
If Arnold does come back however, it’s a chance to prove that he can still do Bond… (I say that because I was particularly disappointed with QoS, I mean, for the Bond fanbase to consider CR as his best work on Bond and to go down to just above average with QoS…?)

Zimmer’s a top composer, alright – I think he’d be an excellent addition to the canon. Inception was notable as an action score; and it’s rooted quite firmly in the Bond tradition – especially in the music for the scenes set in the snowpeaks, which was just so (intentionally, I might add) reminiscent of OHMSS.

I actually find that Quantum is one of my favourite Arnold scores. It’s a bit more atmospheric than TWINE and DAD, and the lamenting, contemplative guitar in some scenes really fits the thoroughly depressing settings of most of the film. A powerful, thoughtful score for a depressing film. In all honesty, I think the score is one of the very few things they got right for that movie.

That’s my 2 cents, apologies for the grandstanding ๐Ÿ™‚


laughingbat86
04-27-2011, 10:05 PM
Zimmer: no thanks.

He does alright with certain things but he proved with Mission:Impossible 2 admittedly that he didn’t handle it properly. I’d much rather see someone like Giacchino, Desplat, or Powell get a shot, but I think Arnold’s doing fine and there’s no need for a change.


biff_stroganoff
04-28-2011, 12:40 AM
I love the score for Inception, but I think anyone who claims it’s rooted in the Bond tradition has no clear idea of what the Bond tradition actually sounds like. They have nothing whatsoever in common.

Which is not to say that Zimmer would be incapable of doing a great score for a Bond movie. I used to not be a fan of his, but I’ve started to come around the past few years; he did a good Morricone for Rango, so there’s no reason he couldn’t also do a good Barry for a Bond flick.

I’ve got no problem with D.A. sticking around, though; he does good work. I just wish the producers would let him write the theme song from now on!

I would say that, in the way the music of Inception complements perfectly the atmosphere of what is conveyed on-screen, it is Bondian. Re-reading that now, though, it’s pretty clear that I was using my over-tiredness-hyperbole again. For the record, though, I do know what it sounds like ๐Ÿ™‚

Takehiro I appreciate what you’re doing here, but I have to say this and it’s nothing to do with you, but it bugs me.

Some of these expanded bond scores aren’t really expanded in the way we think. I’ll start out by telling people which ones are true leaks, Die Another Day and A View to a Kill are true expansions that have been leaked.

Now, as for Tomorrow Never Dies, whoever sold this to you Takehiro, simply ripped the tracks from the DVD. Because the DVD has a special feature where you can listen to just the score. Proof is in track Swinging into Action where some how a rocket sound effect still leaked into the music track.

The much anticipated Octopussy has only one extra track which is well, Bond driving on the train tracks which is just the Gunbarrel and the James Bond theme from the Octopussy CD combined.

The Spy Who Loved Me expanded is nothing more than a DVD rip…I know because I ripped them myself before and I actually have more music than the actually expanded CD that Takehiro plans on posting.

All the tracks from GoldenEye that are extras are accessible through DVD ripping and vocal cutting just like The Spy Who Loved Me.

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service score runs about the same time as the CD, it’s just tracks are broken down and separated onto two cds with bonus songs from other CDs added.

Diamonds Are Forever expanded can actually fit on one CD if you take out Radio Spot and Instrumental of Diamonds Are Forever….So not a real expansion.

The Living Daylights has one or two unreleased cues that are in low quality and obvious DVD rips.

Thunderball seems to be the tracks just broken up. I could be wrong though.

Moonraker is just nicely done DVD rips with the Bond Back in Action done by Philharmonic of Prague Orchestra mixed together. Gondola Chase track is missing instruments.

Again I don’t want to offend you Takehiro or make you not want to finish the expansions because I’d love to get the rest of the ones you haven’t uploaded. And I know you are just getting these from some one else so you didn’t make them.

But some one is walking around trying to make us all believe we’ve found a Bond gold mine, but we haven’t really. A lot of these are just tracks broken up and don’t run any longer than the 2003 Re-Issue’s.

Expanded is… expanded, right? That means longer than the commercial CDs. It covers fan made expansions, DVD rips, promos, recording sessions… So whatever you mean by "real" I do not know…

The DVD isolated track has numerous cues that are remixed, tracked, looped, cut off at the ends, fade out in the middle, and have varying volumes. White Knight in the film is cut up, looped and remixed to name but one. Compare it to my version here. And that rocket sound is a musical effect – its on the commercial CD.

The much anticipated Octopussy has only one extra track which is well, Bond driving on the train tracks which is just the Gunbarrel and the James Bond theme from the Octopussy CD combined.

First of all, I havent posted that here yet. Second, that mix of which you speak is not true either. Ive heard that on another bootleg and its not mixed that way.

The Spy Who Loved Me expanded is nothing more than a DVD rip…I know because I ripped them myself before and I actually have more music than the actually expanded CD that Takehiro plans on posting.

Can you see the future? I do not have this score yet, so I dont know how you can know such things…

All the tracks from GoldenEye that are extras are accessible through DVD ripping and vocal cutting

Try ripping the dam track, keeping it clean, and in full stereo and then tell me its easily done!

…I don’t want to offend you Takehiro or make you not want to finish the expansions because I’d love to get the rest of the ones you haven’t uploaded… but some one is walking around trying to make us all believe we’ve found a Bond gold mine, but we haven’t really

Ah well. I guess I should stop with posting them anymore, eh? You tear them apart and basically say you think these are worthless, then you go on to say you want me to post the rest!

You’re not exactly doing a good job of fuelling my desires to post the rest here. I think these are the best expanded versions you’ll find, period. If you dont like em, then by all means go elsewhere. But dont slag them off and then tell me you want the rest.

Takehiro, I think I speak for most visitors to your thread when I say thank you for the work you have done in posting these soundtracks. We understand that you are using your own funds to buy these soundtracks and then generously sharing them with us. You summed it up perfectly where expanded is just that….expanded. If it is 30 seconds longer than the commercial album, then it is expanded. Period.

Please people, be considerate about the comments you make in this thread. Takehiro owes us nothing, so everything that has been done so far was a real generous gift. We are all looking forward to the rest of the soundtracks to be uploaded and support your timeline for when you can post them.

I can understand how you feel, Takehiro. I totally agree with alansmithee above. There are a lot of unthankful people out there. They get a chance to download stuff other people worked on and uploaded. They get it for free and still have the nerve to moan and complain. My only advice is to ignore them. (It’s easier said than done, I know.) We are lots of people here, who appreciate your (and many other’s) work.

To those who complain, all I can say is this; It’s really quite simple. If you like the stuff, say thanks. Show your appreciation. If you don’t, shut the hell up! Nobody’s forcing you to down???load. You made your own choise. Be greatful you got that option. Without guys like Takehiro, your option would be nothing at all.

I’ll trust your judgement on what’s true expansions or not, Tak. If the scores sounds fine and are expanded enough for you, then they’re for me too.
But then again, it’s your money and so on. I think in the end everyone that chooses to share, do so ’cause they have something WORTH sharing. Or else what’s the point? Regards and thanks in advance!

Again, most people here support what you do. After all what you post here is free to download or not. As a Bond and Barry fan, I welcome any additional music your source can provide. Please keep up the good work.

Hear, hear to all the above positivity. Tak, it’s always a good day when one of your soundtracks pops up; it’s just a nice way to spend an hour or two, listening. And believe me, they’ll endure, because as we’ve seen time and again, the "Complete" commercial releases just aren’t. ๐Ÿ™‚

However, you have to consider that there is a hell of a difference between constructive criticism, and DESTRUCTIVE criticism. TTUBE’s comments above were completely constructive! And, before someone starts to rip him down, you should consider asking NICELY how he came across the information on the expanded scores that he had said. If someone has a different point of view, go ahead and state that, but do it NICELY! Please, guys, we are all here for the same thing, and there is no reason to get nasty about this. I realise that this is TAK’s topic post, and he is the only one who is allowed to be narcissistic here, but we can all be nice about it, right?

Matewan
05-06-2011, 05:16 PM

KaFaraqGatri
05-06-2011, 06:22 PM
Thanks to everyone’s comments since this morning. Everyone is indeed entitled to their opinion but I took it kinda personally.

For the record, the only real score leak has been Die Another Day – none of John Barry’s Bond scores have been leaked to the mass public at all. So AVTAK is not a genuine leak. People have to get access to the this unreleased material through any other way they can.

No one is making anyone download what I post here, but if you dont like it, just stay away ๐Ÿ™‚ Simple as that. There’s other expanded versions out there — some may be better, some are are likely to be a lot worse in my experience — if you wanted to go another route.

some one is walking around trying to make us all believe we’ve found a Bond gold mine, but we haven’t really. A lot of these are just tracks broken up and don’t run any longer than the 2003 Re-Issue’s.

Oh, but we have found a Bond gold mine. I think these albums contain the best DVD rips you’ll come across on the internet. Admittedly, some of them are not expanded by much, but they are expanded nonetheless, regardless of whether the music was ripped from the DVD or leaked. In the case of a score like, say, Live and Let Die, which was already complete in its 2003 re-release, what we have to gain by downloading what Takehiro is providing is the score in proper film order and with the cues in separate form, rather than pasted together into suites. That’s good enough for me. Nobody broke into the vaults to get us each and every great little cue we’ve always wanted, but, hey, it’s all right. This will more than do. (BTW, IIRC, I myself told you that the other expanded A View to a Kill album was a leak, but I was, well, wrong. :S)

Tak: I don’t know which one of you that’s right or wrong on this (maybe the truth is somewhere in between?), but YoYo started off by stating "This has nothing to do with YOU", so why take it personal? I agree with that backing up ones argument is always important for relevance.

YoYo Boy and Tak: Could you please both post links here to the Octopussy and Tomorrow Never Dies cues you mentioned, so anyone who wants can compare, listen and judge for themselves? That would be interesting for many more than just me, I think ๐Ÿ™‚

Wait a minute… TND isn’t complete? Are you serious?? Shoot, I thought it was… I mean, with the whole "music-only" function just for that movie I honestly didn’t think about missing cues… and the total time limit of Tak’s currently uploaded OST is (2:13:??) so yeah… Didn’t bother to ask… so does this mean, u’re going to put the alternate "Company Car" in the next upload? I heard an alternate on Rafael’s thread and thought i’d ask… believe me, that’s the only track I know that has an alternate…

Right…

So, what about Monty Norman then?
HE is still alive, isn’t he?
That would be amazing.

i don’t think monty norman would be interested. i read somewhere that he no longer is involved in movie scores. his original love is theatre. also his score for dr. no was a disaster and the producers had to bring in barry to rearrange and handle orchestrations. personally i think george martin would be nice for the next film. i think his score for live and let die is the best non-barry score there is.

I’m afraid I have to disagree.
In my view, Eric Serra composed the best Non-Barry-Bond out there. But Michel Legrand comes close!

michel legrand is good but not being allowed to use any of the familiar bond themes really hurt that movie. people are really hard on eric serra. he did a decent job.

Kamen was closest in style, I feel, to Barry. He had the brass down and those marvellously moody strings. Arnold is good but he needs to go. We need someone new in, I think. Sometimes his stuff is just too intrusive. Only sometimes, I love Tomorrow Never Dies and Casino Royale; both had some startling Barry-like moments in them. But time to get someone in who’s more purely orchestral, I think.

agreed. too much of that artificial percussion/techno, though he’s toned it down a bit for the daniel craig films. i used to HATE kamen’s score but i’ve really come to appreciate it more every time i hear it. it really fits the mood of license to kill quite well. i often wonder what a barry score for LTK would’ve been like though.

yeah me too. i listened to tak’s LTK expansion and hearing the music sequenced as it was in the film really makes a difference. i hate it when scores are rearranged and bits and pieces are pasted here and there. i know the composers are usually trying to make it a more fluid listening experience but i find it to be quite distracting.

———- Post added at 09:30 PM ———- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ———-

btw, this is a bit off topic but license to kill is probably the most underrated film in the series. it had a unique story (as opposed to the same old bond saves the world from megalomaniac plotline), an excellent villain, right up there with blofeld and scaramanga, two of the best bond girls ever, and it explored the q-bond relationship far better than any film before or since. it’s a shame this film didn’t get the marketing campaign it deserved. i think it’s up there with FRWL, OHMSS, and FYEO as the best in the series

On a side note guys, it has come to my attention that posters/viewers of this board have been PM’ing other members to bitch about my alleged ego on this particular thread. I’m not making this up, its publically viewable on my Soul of James Bond posting.

I just wanted to say publically in return that I have never had any ego that I am aware of. As a very underconfident man, that is totally unlike my real self. Its very hard to read someone’s "tone of voice" on text-based internet boards, emails or IMs, so clearly some of you have misread my older posts and thought I was some big jerk. I am certainly not that person and it pains me to think other people think I may be like that.

It is unfortunate that we have to base our opinions off other humans in the world from text that can be easily misconstrued, but thats just how it is. We are all guilty of it. Unless we were all on here webcamming with audio every day, we may never know the "real" people behind our posts.

But know this everyone, I am trying my best to be the real me when I say this – if I have ever said anything on here that any of you read as being jerky or egotisitic, then I apologise for that. I have never, ever been jerky or egotistical on forums; simply because that is not how I am, nor how I believe other people should act. I know other users on other forums who are complete ego maniacs – they speak cryptically when asked a question by inquisitive other users, they ignore people outright, the list goes on. I do not want to become like people like that. Some of us have spoken extensively by PM and even by email, so you will know I am not a bad guy.

I have just recently moved countries, and have a lot going on in my new life now. Thats not an excuse for any past behaviour, but it may explain the odd days where I might have said something before thinking.

I only want to make friends here, not enemies; life is tough enough as it is without the stress of making enemies. So if we can all get along, thats great. I welcome anyone who wishes to join in the fun and I will make every effort to help out anyone who needs it. If anyone knows the amount of PMs I have received about The Dark Knight recording sessions, I personally answered every single one, so I will always do what I can.

Anyway, enougha my yakking – enjoy the music, wherever you may find it.

you’re right. if you go back and read the fleming novels, then it becomes obvious dalton was basing his portrayal more on the literary bond. goldeneye is a damn good movie, but if dalton had done it, i sincerely believe it would’ve been even better, possibly better than license to kill. seeing dalton and sean bean play off one another would be the ultimate experience. i think only craig and lazenby have come close to this portrayal: the flawed bond that is all too human and knows he could be killed any second. when dalton’s bond is fighting, you truly believe he is fighting for his life; he may just not live this time (of course he always does). it truly says something about his acting ability that he is able to create this sense of uncertainty and suspense in a character that is usually portrayed as invincible and overly confidant. occasionaly connery was able to convince us that bond was truly scared and in a desperate fight for his life (the tarantula scene in dr. no and the traction table scene in thunderball both jump to mind) but more often he seemed too sure of himself, like he wasn’t taking it seriously (especially in diamonds, where he’s just going through the motions). moore was even less convincing, though on rare occasions he too could achieve this level of suspense (the centrifuge scene in moonraker and most of his action scenes in FYEO, for instance).

I know! If u put TND and GE in comparison, Brosnan was not the very serious Bond (in TND) like he was back in GE… Dalton would have been so much better for GE…

to me, brosnan was just a hybrid of moore and connery. i don’t think he brought anything new to the role. i’m not saying he was bad, i do enjoy him, just not as much as dalton.

Perhaps some people will call me unorthodox, but let’s face it:
It was George Lazenby who nailed the part. He was the original Bond.
Barry Nelson comes close, probably.

But I agree that Dalton was decent. Nice to have.

i think lazenby is underrated. i constantly have this argument with my wife, who thinks he was horrible. considereing he had little acting experience, i think he pulled it off quite well. shame he didn’t take the 7 film/14 year deal eon offered. theoretically his last film would’ve been FYEO. i believe he would have improved and matured into the role well. when you consider he was only 28 or 29 when he did OHMSS, he would’ve still been relatively young into the early 80’s. younger than geriatric roger moore

I could quote that entire post and say "yeah that" but I will just say "yeah that" instead lol. We are so much so on the same page. Im fact Dalton would sit and read the Fleming books on set, which is awesome.

I would have loved Dalton to do GoldenEye, him and Sean Bean would have been the dogs bollocks. Dalton was so human, in LTK he gets the shit kicked outta him. I love all the Bonds but I liked it when they seemed vulnerable. The Moonraker and FYEO scenes stand out too, right on.

Lazenby was 29?! No way! He looks like hes in this 30s!

Well, Connery did Dr. No. when he was 38/40 so I guess he fit Bond’s character well at that time.

Connery, if I remember rightly, turned 36 while filming You Only Live Twice. I cannot believe Lazenby was only 29! I can see why he would have believed the guff fed to him by his agent about Connery being THE bond – poor guy. If he’d stuck around only for Diamonds, we could have been spared the tarnishing of Connery’s rep.

Tak: First I want to thank you for giving more details on who you are and the reason for reacting the way you did. Nobody’s perfect, but openess always helps to avoid misunderstanding, I think.

I don’t know about the rest of you here, but I think openness and mutual respect on different opinions and way of expressing oneself in words are VERY important. I can’t speak for anyone else, but truth is I’ve felt sometimes that i shouldn’t ask questions, because I was afraid of being labeled as a trouble maker or asshole or whatever which I’m NOT.

There is one question though I would appreciate if you answered to avoid further misunderstandings, Tak: Do you know if the CD’s are mixed and ready as you order them or does the process in creating the sources for the scores start after you’ve ordered? I’m just wondering since you wrote a few weeks ago that you’ve ordered all of them. Usually it don’t take more than 10 days until shipment if one order CD’s from CDWOW in Scandinavia for example. If something is unclear about my question, feel free to write that please ๐Ÿ™‚

agreed. i think connery ruins diamonds. he didn’t take the role seriously; he only came back cuz the producers paid him 1.25 million, which was the most any actor had received for one movie up to that point. they wanted the connery name to draw in big bucks. it was further ruined by charles grey. he made blofeld look like a prissy old english grandpa.

so right. i love "the whyte house" and "007 and counting" – such a chill soundtrack (for a bond film, anyhow). this and moonraker are the 2 bond scores i listen too when i want to relax and be mellow. in fact barry’s score is about the only reason i even watch diamonds anymore. DAF is to the connery era as Golden Gun is to the Moore era.

i’ll admit roger moore is a guilty pleasure for me. i think he had some of the best one-liners of any bond.

This is a big problem, in my view. QoS was terrible, chiefly because of its poor, artsy direction from Forster. In the old days, the Second Unit Directors used to graduate to Director after a while – look at John Glen. If you ask me, he did some of the best films from the pre-Craig era. And then, look at Martin Campbell. Not a Bond Graduate, obviously – but before Goldeneye he’d directed tonnes of action stuff for TV and film, some of the best episodes of The Professionals among them. If they’re going to use big names, at least use people with experience in the area! Bond isn’t just any old film – they’re special.

Arnold won’t leave unless they don’t re-sign him. After Arnold, who knows? I’ve always liked the idea of John Williams doing one – I once entertained notions of re-scoring Attack of the Clones using Thunderball…

I respect you like his work but I don’t see how you can base him doing a five minute piece (which is just basically the Bond theme with a few small pieces as bridges) as proof he can score an entire film. At that time, Arnold had just composed 2 fantastic blockbuster scores and proved he was more than worthy with his score to TND. Granted, he’s wavered in quality since, but I feel that Altman would have been a terrible choice. While I don’t support always getting big name guys to work on the films, if the 80s (particularly the early 80s) proved anything, is that some time you need experience behind the camera. To me, Bond during the 80s felt very amateur at times and cheap. At least now they feel like the big event movies that they are supposed to be.

Good luck on your projects and thanks for your continued efforts.


KaFaraqGatri

Altman knows how to orchestrate an action piece. And there was far more than just the Bond theme in there. Its a great piece, composers can get hired from doing one piece like that.

i disagree. at times the john glen films lack the scope or magnitude of over the top efforts like moonraker, but i think he was making a conscious effort to return the series to its roots, when shiny cars and fancy sci-fi gadgets were less important than plot and suspense. and as for experience, glen had been working on the series, either as editor or second unit director, since OHMSS. also, look at the non-eon bond, never say never. it was directed by irvin kershner, a seasoned director of blockbusters like the empire strikes back. his experience didn’t rescue that film from being a disaster.

if its an experienced name, i’d like to see giacchino. if they go with an unknown, i hope it is someone that can truly recapture the barry magic. i think arnold needs to step aside and give someone else a chance to shine. maybe he could do every other bond, like barry did through the 70’s. it would keep the series more interesting, at least musically.

I was listening to the Cort and Fatboy show recently, and Fatboy had a James Bond casting suggestion that would never ever work … but has kinda been fascinating me ever since. He put the name Peter Dinklage in the hat as someone who could play 007.

Now, obviously, Dinklage’s height — or lack thereof — would prevent him from ever being credible as an action star. But apart from that, he’s suave as hell, charming in an utterly dangerous sort of way, and has an awesome voice. Just watch him in Game of Thrones, in which he is ruling the earth in every scene he is in. He shares a number of qualities with Bond, one of which is that he feels as if he is somehow in control of every situation he is in.

Dinklage could never make a credible Bond, but by God, someone ought to find him some sort of comparable big-screen role; the guy is awesome, and Hollywood ought to be taking advantage of it in some way.

Cussing the villains to death sounds like fun anyway ๐Ÿ™‚

How about a black, jewish, bi-sexual Bond? THAT would be fun/interesting ;D

A lot of people have thought of that idea… and I heard Jamie Foxx was being considered as the 1st Black Bond after Brosnan resigned from the role…

aw c’mon, not jamie foxx. i find him slightly obnoxious. he is also TOO american. what makes bond great is they usually go with a relatively unknown BRITISH actor. Moore and Brosnan were probably the best known actors before they got the job. connery, lazenby, dalton, craig were pretty much unheard of, at least in the USA

What do you think of Nuno Malo as a composer for a Bond movie? He is a big admirer of John Barry, and he did the music for a commercial with a similar style to that of "Bond music".

Hisaishi has some of the necessary "ingredients" to do Bond. He’s able to create memorable themes on his own or doing instrumental renditions from original songs, and he has done in the past a few music scores of jazzistic style, but I’m not sure of what he can do for the action sequences. The kind of action music he compose has nothing to do with the fast paced sequences we often have these days. Not saying that he can’t do it, but that’s not his forte.

Watching Octopussy, it made me realise how exciting action scenes can be without music. The tension and stunts seem more real, somehow. Nowadays its wall to wall noise in action movies.

Going back to an earlier topic…

I would hate to see a black man cast as 007 if the goal were simply to cast a black man in the role. However, if it was the RIGHT black man (by which I mean if it were the right man PERIOD), it’d be awesome.

And the right man for the job might very well be Chiwetel Ejiofor. He’d be terrific. Better than Michael Fassbender (my current pick for the next actor to take the role)? Maybe not; but he’d be great, and I hope I can live long enough to be able to read the talkback at AICN when something like it finally does happen.

true, but you’ll notice that barry didn’t do a lot of traditional action movies outside the bond series. plus, barry’s action cues tended to be a little more lush and melodic than what you hear in most current action movies. arnold’s music is kinda like barry’s music on a lot of speed, but a barry action cue is far more hummable, a lot less frantic in pace; more thought out. "007" "fight at kobe dock" and especially his moonraker action cues are the type of scoring hisaishi could do it if he wanted to, probably just doesn’t like that style.

octopussy is one of my favorite all time barry scores. he really knows when to hold back and let the on-screen action speak for itself. the music playing during the taxi chase gives me goosebumps. it’s a crime emi didn’t release octopussy or avtak in expanded editions back in 2003.

yeah i just read colin salmon’s wikipedia page. he was considered for the roles of bond and the doctor! personally, i wanted to see clive owen play bond. craig is good, but owen is an equally talented actor, and i think looks a bit more like bond.
as far as composers go, i could see michael giacchino doing a better job than david arnold. i’d like to see john glen direct another bod as well.

love your alternate cover art, especially for the classic 60’s-70’s OSTs. nice to see how you used old poster art. they don’t make movie posters like they used to. now it’s all photoshopped but back then they hired real artists to paint beautiful posters. going to the movies was fun not just for seeing the movie but to see the various films’ posters hanging in the lobby. i love the old indy and star wars posters!

Hahaha! Transsexual! NOW we’re talking ๐Ÿ˜€ Nice to see you too love the 60’s-70’s poster art. Live And Let Die is another great exampel of this, I think. And the Star Wars’s of course. I still feel the cover art for The Empire Strikes back has a unique mysterious tone, though I don’t like the movie as I used to.

———- Post added at 01:23 PM ———- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ———-

I respect you like his work but I don’t see how you can base him doing a five minute piece (which is just basically the Bond theme with a few small pieces as bridges) as proof he can score an entire film. At that time, Arnold had just composed 2 fantastic blockbuster scores and proved he was more than worthy with his score to TND. Granted, he’s wavered in quality since, but I feel that Altman would have been a terrible choice. While I don’t support always getting big name guys to work on the films, if the 80s (particularly the early 80s) proved anything, is that some time you need experience behind the camera. To me, Bond during the 80s felt very amateur at times and cheap. At least now they feel like the big event movies that they are supposed to be.

Good luck on your projects and thanks for your continued efforts.

I agree. Most composers can come up with a memorable theme for a movie (main theme or whatever), but having the skills and time to come up with equally memorable and diverese and balanced music that makes for a truly classic soundtrack is another thing. John Barry was one of the few who accomplished this imho.

Sure whats the problem? I’ll try and help any way I can!

Here goes, back at Rafael 007 thread, I mentioned him that the soundtrack version of Backseat Driver lacked that Bondish trumpet fare. In the movie it started right after Bond jumped out of the backseat of the BMW 750 (I couldn’t resist calling it in it’s full glory) and ends when the vehicle smashing through the parking lot wall, plummeted to the streets below… While the soundtrack just repeated the chore/riff after the guitar solo all the way to that climax.
It was upsetting to me atleast and thought I should settle for it’s absence. That’s when Raf posted the rip from the scene and I was extatic, he did warned me however that in the rip the composition was chopped up a bit to flow with chase scene. I already knew that, ’cause I did a comparison way back when I first found the mp3 track and played it with the chase scene I recorded on a VHS side by side.
At the time, I did not have a sound mixer, but used what I have (windows movie maker, ugh) to mix that "Bondish fanfare piece" on the soundtrack version. It was not perfect, but it was the best I could’ve done at the time and sended to him. After I have aquired a real sound mixer (and possibly the best), I did it again, the mix was better, and barely noticable.
Then when Tak came along with this thread, I noticed S.T. posted about that same track, but his focus was the guitar solo and I wanted to post about my findings as well. But before I did that, I wanted to check and see what he was talking about and indeed, another difference between the soundtrack (here it sounded flat) and movie (in here it was booming) version, but as I really compared the two, I found out more…
It seems the movie version has some or atleast one more mechanical instruments/synchs that the soundtrack left out, the one you can really notice up front is that there is some sort of "artificial" guitar synch that laps every 4 seconds (approximately) starting at 01.33.979 on the movie rip (well, you’ll really notice it in the guitar solo, but I traced it all the way back there), right after the security guard closed off the exit/entrance of the lot, it’s completely absent in the soundtrack version. I know it’s just a minor thing, but it really adds up to the experience. I actually realized I was listening to the cropped up rip alot more than the full track after I found out the difference between them.

You can confirm all of this on the rip that Raf posted in his thread, if you don’t mind and discuss. Anyone else want to take stab at it, be my guest, the more the merrier… ๐Ÿ˜‰

And my apoligies if my writing is rather excessive/tedious (or just plain out not understandable), I just didn’t want anything left out. =_=’
Now I’m actually mixing all that I learned and making it what I think should sound out… I got what I thought was my final mix, but there’s one section that I still loused up.

05-30-2011, 07:52 PM
Man dont u hate it when they dont just give us the movie score as heard in the film?

I dont know the score in that great a detail but are you saying this film mix is missing on the version I posted?

Tak, the one in Rafael’s TND OST is only 1:30. Unlike the 3:00 on your album. I know because I ended up getting TND twice, first his, and then yours. Even though he had the different singles+instrumental+acapella versions of Surrender and Tomorrow Never Dies, your album is complete. His was an DVD rip with the isolated track you mentioned earlier in this thread.

TripleMMM is right about it.

Now as for SpartaTank taking over this thread, I hope he manages to get TWINE. That’s like the most impossible Bond score to find.

The DVD isolated track is mixed so low in parts than when you turn it up it gets hissy. Kinda sucks…

TWINE was already posted before. All Sparktank is doing is listing my last few releases for me, as well as some new redux editions (including Licence to Kill 2CD).

Hi

I come back to peruse the Bond stuff – which I love – to find everything is changed – will Sparktank leave the link to the thread of new Bond goodies on her.

Anyway Tak – it’s been fun and i loved every Bond score and has been the highlight of the last 6 months

Don’t worry b.s. I’m really thankfull for what I can acquire because of Tak and Raf, I guess you haven’t read my other post that I try not to sound like an arsehole. I’m just pointing out my findings of how different they really are.

… I dont know the score in that great a detail…

Yes, I know, but whenever I put that in, it unzips the first two tracks properly, and then reports "Wrong password" on the third track! Are there only three tracks in this set? The first two tracks sound great, BTW. The audience sounds real, like it was a live recording. I found no problem with it.

I know. Appreciate the info, but I’ve tried different free ones but so far all of them have been trial versions which last only a month each. Since I work a lot and got a hearing disorder, I don’t have the time and energy to seek out and start all over again with a new program. Maybe you now a good, practical free player that’s not a trial version? It would save my a great deal of trouble if someone could point me to a specific source please. I use a PC ๐Ÿ™‚

Hi,
In case no one bothers to explain to you, Takehiro had originall uploaded all the titles as mp3s. These links seem to have now disappeared, but he is uploading them all again as FLAC files which will give you a superior sound quality, so just keep checking back from timt to time and eventally they will all be here. The links in blue that are already after some of the titles are links for the new FLAC files which he has done to date.

??

Maybe you should read about sound formats. FLAC format is close to LossLess quality which means something close to CD quality sound. Bigger files means more information so better quality.

MP3 means compression and smaller files which means loose of quality.


tehƧP@ƦKly???ANK??? -Ⅲ???
06-26-2011, 11:50 AM
Flac is lossless though. Just VBR.

edit: and bigger files doesn’t necessarily mean more information=better quality.

It’s easy to burn MP3’s to CD then rip them back to FLAC for fake-lossless.
All the original data is lost, so when you rip to FLAC again, you’re ripping it with large quantity of data still missing.

Since I started using FLAC I could never go back to any lossy format, and I’ll often pass up something I might like to have if I see it’s only available as an MP3 or whatever. I don’t mind converting a flac to an MP3 for use in a car or whatever, since I can fit so many more tracks onto my Fuze player (which also handles FLAC), it makes sense on a road trip. But FLAC is very easy to get used to and handle, especially with foobar and other programs. One thing, to covert FLAC to WAVE for use in some devices makes great sense, but MP3 is a dead end, musically.

And so I wanted to thank you for the new additions, in lossless; eagerly looking forward to more, especially the Barry-scored Bonds. Have you considered working this magic on, say The Ipcress File, King Rat, or other mid-sixties Barry scores?

Front Cover Art for OHMSS and LTK … Back covers in progress.


Love the OHMSS cover, so much better than the offical release

Not keen on LTK as there just seems something wrong with the picture used, but it is again a vast improvement over the original LP release back in 1989

I look forward to seing what the back cover looks like and if we can tempt you to actually do CD labels as well.

I’m also interested to se if you can improve the bland CR & QOS original covers as they are again just bland and boring, unlike OHMSS and the offical cd releases of the Rioger More scores from LALD to FYEO.

Wooops! Major messup in the spelling of License!
On the back its spelt as LICENCE… question is, which one’s right?

I think Licence is the correct one but the eps logo in brands of the world use "LICENSE" … License To Kill | Brands of the World (http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/logo/license-to-kill)

I’m Updating the cover with the correct logo version.

Yes, at the time there was a bit of controversy when it was decided by the producers and marketing bods to use the English version of the word for the US market.

Takehiro, what is here is nothing short of astounding. You are a credit to genuine lovers and appreciators of music everywhere. I cannot thank you enough for making these incredible scores available to us without extortion or anything else.

I have just noticed a couple of missing bits. Sorry if these have already been mentioned but it would take me forever to go through 50-something pages of forum. On FYEO, the piece of music where Bond first meets Bibi at the ice rink and then chats with Kristatos about Locque. Also on OHMSS, the (what I call) "oompah" music we hear a few times when Campbell attempts to bluff his way up Piz Gloria and then when Bond has the fight in the village with all the bells, and then the ice rink music. I do in fact have copies of these three pieces of music somewhere (albeit not particularly quality versions) which may be of interest to fellow audiophiles for completeness, but was wondering if Takehiro has better versions?

Hi Sharpy! I’m aware some of these are incomplete, which is why the thread is entitled "Expanded Scores" and not "Complete" ๐Ÿ˜‰ If anyone here wishes to add their own tracks to these versions, which they have, by all means go ahead. But as for myself, I and the people I am involved with prefer to keep all their hard work "in house" so I wont be needing anyone to supply with any extra music. But thank you ๐Ÿ™‚

Hi. The MU link seems to be down for Licence to Kill

The link is fine. All links are up and fine.
MU always has issues. You must be getting "temporarily unavailable" not "removed".
MU may not always work, or you have exceeded your daily 2gb download limit (for free/anon users).
MU sometimes gives greater troubles to people from different countries.

I suggest using JDownloader for all your downloads.
You can import direct download links, like MU, and JDownloader will continue to monitor the link and download when it is available.
JDownloader will automatically do the captcha for MU, RS, 7xto, and a small number of other file servers.
Most other file servers, you still need to put in the captcha. (Just like if you were to use your web browser).

Yes it was original for the movie, written by Diane Warren, and Patti Labelle included it on her album Be Yourself consecutively in 1989 if I recall correctly.

And I keep getting the temporarily unavailable thing on MU. ๐Ÿ™ hehe.


Sean Barry
07-02-2011, 09:43 PM
According to the sources pointed to by Wikipeida, it seems as the song was indeed written for the LTK soundtrack If You Asked Me To – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_You_Asked_Me_To)
I my opinion it plays an integral part in the movie as it connects to Dalton’s last line "So why don’t you ask me?" in the final scene. And it’s a great piece of music too that should be included together with the other songs featured in the movie, to make it an expanded score compared to the officially released one ๐Ÿ™‚

MrGhostface
07-02-2011, 11:41 PM
I agree, it does belong on the soundtrack, not just because it was written for the film, but simply because it’s a nice song and it comes in very organically in the last scene in the pool.

Thanks again for LTK, Tak! Great sound and fun finally listening to the tracks as they appear in the movie. One minor thing only: At very beginning of "Gunbarrel-Radar Alert" there is a slight sound defect. Hard to describe but it’s like the sound disappears quickly just after the first downbeat on the timpani following the opening brass line. I had a similar problem when I played the gunbarrel track to FYEO. I played both using VLC player which works well with other tracks. Help appreciated anyone ๐Ÿ™‚

Again I want to thank you for all the effort put in on LTK. Very impressive and fun to hear after all these years! I just want to help out on a few things. There’s a glitch in the following tracks after approximatly the first few seconds at the beginning: 2-6, 8-10, 15, 35-36. I’ve compared with the film score. Hope this is helpful and again thanks very much for an otherwise thrilling listening experience ๐Ÿ™‚

Why limit these albums to original music, anyway? Moonraker has some nice versions of the Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture and the Magnificent Seven theme. I think those arrangements were made for the film. I’m not sure that’s the case with The Spy Who Loved Me, though.

MrGhostface
07-13-2011, 07:40 PM
I would also like the most complete versions of a score possible. Originality is very subjective with some scores anyway. After all, it’s not like the Bond scores have never repeated music… so rather than exclude anything performed for the movie, I would love to see it all included. Like mtjs said, tracks like the new orchestration of The Magnificent Seven for Moonraker would be very appropriate because that one is used specifically because of the scene it’s scoring, and it was re-recorded by Barry as part of his score.

bishtyboshty
07-13-2011, 07:45 PM
I did notice that the thread is titled "Takehiro’s Expanded James Bond Scores", and so it would seem that the decision of included content is Takehiro’s choice.

07-14-2011, 12:37 AM
Don’t come at me with your obnoxious "I did notice…" you pratt, I wasn’t telling Takehiro what to do, just reasoning why I thought some tracks should be included. Besides which, using Licence to Kill as an example, Takehiro didn’t realise If You Asked Me To was original to the movie, but happily updated it when we brought it to his attention. Obviously, we’re just expressing what we’d prefer in expanded/complete soundtracks and the reasons we think that makes sense. But thanks for reminding me, I’ll be sure never to offer an alternative opinion on something in future.

Moonraker was my first bond cd i bought that was part of the "old" bonds. this was before Ryko and certainly before Capital. When they were on E.M.I. Manhattan. What is sad is Moonraker could have easily fit on a 45 minute LP at the time. Golden Gun was 45 minutes long (i think) so they pressed a 30 minute album when 45 could have offered the complete score. This is a set up from that 31 track edition that had a strange track called Command Control Center with that hidden Easter egg at the end.

KaFaraqGatri
07-16-2011, 02:51 AM
I believe the complete Golden Gun score is longer than 45 mins, same for Moonraker. To have every single score in a complete, film order would be great, but its not going to happen. If it does, I will personally eat my own foot.

Mr Nemo
07-16-2011, 03:01 AM
Thank You very very much Takehiro Sama!

Your thread is making an old Bond and Barry fan very happy.
I have all the official releases of these scores, but here I’m discovering many precious gems of missing music and the scores finally in chronological order.
I truly appreciate all the EBR editions in their lossless sound, and Barry’ music is my favourite, but I had been very delighted by the score for "Licence to Kill”.
Kamen’s score was a very neglected music that truly needed to be rediscovered.
Kamen made a landscape of ominous sounds, growing electrifying tensions, exploding violences and very exciting and fresh variations of the classic Bond Theme.
I also must say that Goldeneye, far from being easy-listening music, is a fine score too, because of it’s attempt to be innovative in the series.

Thank You very much again!

PS: I like Timothy Dalton as a proper Fleming’s Bond too!


alansmithee
07-16-2011, 03:06 AM
Sorry tak, i meant the album that was pressed for Golden Gun on LP was about 45 minutes of music, License to kill had a 45 minute album too. it certainly wasn’t complete, but i thought that barry composed a lot less music for Moonraker than his other Bond scores. a while ago there was this 31 track rip of Moonraker. Edited poorly, but based on the skill and source material at the time, it was a nice find. It had some nice little gems like the Venini glasswords cue, the scene where bond lands his glider, and when the space station comes to a stop. some heavy SFX were in those scenes. what was unique was this ripper included a breakdown of time.

Expanded Album Total Time 58:58
John Barry Music Total Time 37:34
Moonraker film Music Total Time 43:15

That is the only reason why I thought Barry composed so very little for Moonraker. If there was only 43 minutes of total recorded score and songs, they should have put that on the album. Ah to correct the wrongs of the past.


KaFaraqGatri
07-16-2011, 03:07 AM
No worries, Alan. Sorry I misunderstood. And thanks, Nemo. I totally agree with you about Kamen’s Licence to Kill and Dalton. And I have always loved the GoldenEye sound; it fit the tone of the movie very well.

alansmithee
07-16-2011, 03:16 AM
I agree, there was a time when i was begging for FSM or someone to release expanded scores to GoldenEye or The Spy Who Loved Me and License To Kill. If the rumors are true and the masters are lost or destroyed for so many of these scores, then these rips will be a fine solution to an imperfect situation. I am really curious to hear how you do on Dr. No. I always felt Monty got a bad wrap for his Dr. NO album since its mostly island songs, but his orchestral score is decent in the film. And GoldenEye is a great bond score that will only become more and more accepted, much in the way a zimmerites score is accepted as "music".

Spikey699
07-28-2011, 07:32 AM
Just very briefly, I want to thank Takehiro from the bottom of my heart for these gems. And more importantly, the time and effort on a community project that benefits the whole world, basically (Bond films are rooted in our culture!).

One thing I’m less thrilled with is that I’m sorry to see all the impatience and criticism. Sure, if I felt like it, i could post an essay on how track X is missing from film Y. But I won’t, for the following reasons:

1. (The big one) He’s doing it with his own time.
2. He doesn’t have every last second or cue of Bond music ever released.
3. For the music he does have, not all the sources he has, or DVD rips he uses to patch the sources he doesn’t have, are in pristine quality, and/or can be restored, so while he may have it and hasn’t released it, there’s a quality reason why (i.e. you could DVD rip it and edit it yourself for a similar result), it’s not because he’s "holding out".
4. Not every cue is a vital one (think: 5 second fanfare bursts).

And more, but those are the important ones.

I apologise for speaking for the man, but I used to work with Bond scores and edit my own expanded scores, I have some sources. But the deal is quite simply, time. I don’t got it (enough anyway). It would take me a month of all my free time to make something listenable for the average score, and for something like LTK, probably 3 months or even more to get much at all (the sources I have/know of pretty much suck, you’d have better luck messing with the DVD rip).

bottom line, be patient and above all positive and praising of Tak’s work. He’s a superstar and his patience is far more than mine would’ve been, reading this thread and imagining the PM’s he gets. Some people just need to relax and thank him, or if they feel the need to ask 20 times the same thing, DON’T.

OK, rant/advice over. Thank you so much Tak.

Just very briefly, I want to thank Takehiro from the bottom of my heart for these gems. And more importantly, the time and effort on a community project that benefits the whole world (…).

I just want to say that I completely agreed with Spikey699.
No one should criticize Takehiro, but only thanks him for his great and generous effort.

Takehiro: NOBODY DOES IT BETTER!

Best regards and thank You for all, again and again.

Wow, thank you Spikey. That was a long post to write up.

These do take up considerable time and effort. Stuff from DVD isnt just ripped from DVD and stuck into the mix, it takes many hours of remastering and clean-up. Sometimes a single movie takes a long time, depending on how complex it is. And I have to buy outside materials to complete these, which also means it takes longer.

And yes, some naysayers on here have said things like, "Dont bother, he dont have X and he aint gonna post it". Im not sure if theyre fans who lost patience, trolls, just or greedy people wanting them all as quickly as possible so they can sell them online (ahem RareScores).

Either way, I have purposefully left the harder ones till last. But one way or another, they will be posted. If I dont get them posted here (a bomb drops, World War III), those who care have my email address and will surely pass them on if the worst happens.

politics. jack white and alicia keys are big, well-known names (at least in the USA). the producers probably felt they were more marketable.

the same reason k.d. lang’s far superior song was shoved to the end credits to make way for sheryl crow’s song in TND. i think the producers figured a boyish lesbian was less marketable than some skinny-mini beach rock diva.


raybond
07-31-2011, 09:22 PM
Whilst the Eva Almer song "Forever" is great, it was not a rejected song. It may have been submitted, but I doubt anyone on the production side heard it. The fact that song is exactly the same length as the credit sequence makes me very suspicious that this song is anything more than a fan song (a great fan song, but a fan song all the same). Personally, listening to the Bassey song "No Good About Goodbye" based on some of Arnold QOS musical ideas, makes me wonder what Arnold would’ve come up with had he been allowed to finish his song. Although Winehouse was the planned singer, it would’ve been great to have Bassey back, but the song would’ve had to be toned down, as it was a little too ‘happy’ for the tone of QOS.

The new QOS album is excellent as ever Tak (really can’t wait for the ‘final five’ esp. Spy and Goldfinger), however since you included the source music for the Greene Planet party, I had hoped you would’ve included the music from the Tosca shoot out. I know it was source and not Arnold’s but it so fits that scene so wonderfully that it really deserves to be on the album.

Takehiro complained again! About some guy who uploaded his mediocre Chill Factor RIPP.

Says he is the original uploader.

But now it belongs to US, Takehiro!

It doesn’t matter who ripped what. With everybody just claiming he was the one who was the original uploader, you don’t understand the www. Chill Factor? Yours? Did you produce the music in question, baby? I will repost it, it will be my rip, then. Somebody will repost my rip, and it will stop to be mine, until I repost it again. I understand how the internet works. But you, Takehiro, are just a sack of shit. You will never get that. Don’t you realize you always look like a tit each time you complain about reposts? Did you invent the Bond music? Are you aware of copyrights? All you can do is lamenting, about time, about pressure. You want to give us the best mixes possible? Let me put it straight: All you can think about is that YOU alone hold the absoloute monopoly on all the stuff you post. Up yours, baby! That’s a fatal misconception of reality. Think about it.

FFShrine Federation to Takehiro. Our sensors are detecting a disturbance in the force. We suspect, you may be under the Wrath of Khan. Helmsman Jessie subspace message to FFShrine Federation, indicates alien is known trouble with tribbles lifeforce, up to old tricks throughout FFShrine Federation territory. This more than likely silicon-based lifeform, utilizing Romulan or Klingon cloaking device, apparently will not cease hostile actions. FFShrine Federation, suggest using warp engines to distance yourself from suspected dikironium cloud creature. Doing so will ensure safe distance, assuring alien will be left to limp under impulse power.

FFShrine Federation’s future triumphs, depends upon your delivering the precise Bond cargo. If necessary, FFShrine Federation suggest resorting to Kobayashi Maru scenario. This will silence creatures dilithium crystals, allowing you to continue into Federation air space, to delivery the Bond cargo. In going where no man has gone before, Federation Shrine gives permission to use phaser banks to protect Bond Cargo.

Our branch of the family spread out from East Africa, and out-competed the Neanderthals. Inter-breeding resulted in our absorbing 2 to 3% of Neanderthal DNA into ours… and here we are TODAY !.

i can answer this because i have a friend from southern egypt. Nubia is an actual region that is located in southern egypt and northern sudan. egyptians from this region are quite dark, compared to their arab egyptian counterparts. the term has become commonplace to describe any african with very dark skin, but nubia is indeed a specific region.

it’s only been speculated that neanderthals and cro-magnons interbred, though i think it’s a strong possibility, considering the dna was probably close enough to result in fertile offspring. some scientists speculate red hair was a neanderthal trait.

I wonder, if DA ever resigns or gets cut loose, if they go for someone big or if they decide to go with an unknown or up and coming composer?

I know this is old and might’ve already been brought up, but I wanted to write it anyways while I remembered it.

Since Sam Mendes is directing Bond 23, maybe he’ll bring along his frequent collaborator Thomas Newman (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, American Beauty)?

If so, I think this would be excellent. Newman is one of my favorite composers, and while I haven’t heard much traditional action music from him, I think he could bring something new and fresh to the franchise. Arnold has done some solid stuff, but he’s gotten rather repetitive. I think he’s basically exhausted all of his talent when it comes to Bond.

GrayEdwards

I didn’t know that. I’m not as familiar with the franchise as some of you guys are.

That said, Mendes seems to be one of the most (critically) lauded directors to direct a Bond film, so maybe he’ll have more sway. Plus, Newman has been nominated for an Oscar several times, so he also might seem like more of a catch than Arnold.

Who knows these things. I’ll hold out hope until I hear otherwise, though.


GrayEdwards
08-22-2011, 11:12 PM
Whew. Just got caught up. Not a huge fan of the classic Bond films, but Barry & Co’s talent is undeniable. Words cannot express how grateful I am for your hard and laborious work, Takehiro. Can’t wait to get The Final Five! Ha. *giggles*

Marc Forster did bring editor Matt Chesse and cinematographer Roberto Schaefer to work with him on Quantum of Solace, so I can see Mendes replacing Arnold for Bond 23. As of now, he’s not on board. And he’s got to go, in my opinion.

biff_stroganoff
08-23-2011, 05:14 AM
I can’t hear Thomas Newman doing a Bond score. Great composer, but that’d be a bad fit. And it’s irrelevant, since Sam Mendes will have nothing whatsoever to say about it.

I’m all for replacing Arnold, but if and ONLY if they replace him with Michael Giacchino.


GrayEdwards
08-23-2011, 10:03 AM
But see, I don’t want Giacchino doing Bond. He’s already done two Mission: Impossible. Same goes for John Powell and Hans Zimmer. They’ve already done their spy franchises.

I want someone new and unexpected… like Newman. Maybe Goldenthal.


biff_stroganoff
08-24-2011, 09:02 AM
Yes, but Newman’s style does not fit with Bond at all. AT ALL. Neither does Goldenthal’s.

Of course, that’s just my opinion.


MrGhostface
08-24-2011, 11:55 AM
Yes, but Newman’s style does not fit with Bond at all. AT ALL. Neither does Goldenthal’s.

And mine. Bond just isn’t their style at all. Especially Thomas Newman, who I am a massive fan of.


aj2008
08-24-2011, 03:59 PM
Newman is not a Bond man – his scores are lovely, for sure, but they’re very ambient-sounding. Wall-E and Finding Nemo are good examples. I’d really miss Arnold if they booted him; I honestly think QoS was his best one – so much atmosphere and depth, rather than just noise. I reckon John Williams, or Lalo Schifrin even, would be really interesting experiments.

biff_stroganoff
08-24-2011, 07:32 PM
I agree with you about Quantum of Solace. And I’m a Thomas Newman fan, too.

But, then, I’m a massive Bob Dylan fan, and I’d like to keep him as far away from 007 as humanly possible. Some things just don’t mix, you know.

Anaximander
08-26-2011, 10:10 PM
i’d like to see howard shore give it a shot. he can score epic action but he has also done some lesser known work with a jazzier side to it that is almost in the vein of john barry.

GrayEdwards
08-26-2011, 10:12 PM
What about Murray Gold or Joby Talbot? Their work on Doctor Who and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, respectively, was stellar, and I could easily see them fitting into the Bond franchise.

I also think Clint Mansell would make an excellent pick. Sahara was almost a Bond flick anyways, and the score certainly made the connection all the more clear.

Which scores are you going by in that assessment? Because I’ve not heard them.

Batman Forever.


biff_stroganoff
08-27-2011, 05:40 AM
Murray Gold is actually an awesome suggestion. I remember several episodes of Who thinking the music reminded me of something, and that was the something!

I’d still rather see Giacchino, I think … but not by much.

Good call, Gray!


eglia
08-27-2011, 07:25 AM
Nobody could replace David Arnold, he has absolutely nailed the style. Every score fits so perfectly to each film and while John Barry was amazing my only complaint is that he always re-used the same cues over and over, especially in The Living Daylights but that doesn’t matter because that movie and score are easily in the top 5 of the series, should have been two more Dalton movies before Brosnan because he wasn’t finished IMO.

BTW this is an amazing thread, good to have someone who cares a lot for these movies and scores.


GrayEdwards
08-27-2011, 04:36 PM
Even though I think there are better people for the job, I think they should keep Arnold until Craig is done, to keep the continuity.

biff_stroganoff
08-28-2011, 08:25 AM
I’ve got no desire to see Arnold go. He restored by faith in his abilities with CR and QoS. I do wish, though, that the producers would let me write the damned title songs; the movies can only benefit from it.

Fingers crossed! Along with other cues like the Hotel arrival in Bolivia, which is basically a longer variation on the "Bolivian Taxi Ride" cue and the cue where Bond goes back to the hotel room and finds M there.

Small but extremely effective cues that really should of been included in the first place.

Have any of these been ripped from the Blu-rays?
Just to answer this, I’ve been experimenting and will post my results here.

So far, with FYEO, the sound seems worse (as far as mix and SFX goes) in the Front Left/Right and Surround Left/Right pairings than the regular DTS from the DVD.

I tested this by extracting the results (and I am 99% sure I got the proper HD stuff from the DTS-HD audio) and putting the Front and Surround original Left and Right mono waves in stereo pairs (just to clarify).

I will update when I have more details, I’m checking a few more.

Or do you mean at 6:35? I actually like that piece that mimics some sort of a "alerted pause" moment. I noticed it was absent in the track too.
I’ll also add that the track "Going Down/The Bunker" from TWINE is suffering the same missing piece that "Backseat Driver (BMW Escape)" is. We already had a discussion about those missing pieces before.

Your right. Part 2 of Into Miami, Bond And Pussy In The Barn, Countdown to explosion (The music when Bond watches Bonita dance while waiting for the bomb to go off in the teaser), A Car In The Mirror (The music before Bond crashes his Aston Martin) and Flying To The White House (The march with flutes and drums only.

True. That’s why I (at least) also wrote "…but the Bathroom Spying track is still good to have. Thanks Tak!" and "…No critism here Tak since the tracks at hand is not up to you." But also the Goldfinger score holds a Special place in my heart, since it’s one of my favourites that made me discover true music. That’s why I miss some incredible music. But likewise I understand that’s it not always possible to obtain full scores for different reasons. I only hope you don’t take what I write as attacks on YOU, ’cause they’re NOT.

Is it only me or haven’t the James Bond concept been milked dry by now? The humour, heart and the glint in the eye in the films is gone and has been replaced by cold hearted cruelty and ruthlessness. Bond used to be something unique that stood apart from the rest. Now he’s more of a psycho murder machine and the films are not that much different to the Bourne films.
This probably will stir up some feelings, but it’s been on my mind for long and I just needed to get it off my chest. Hopefully Arnold will be exchanged and the music for next film will be worthwile. Please remember this is MY taste and opinon people and I don’t aspire to step on someone elses toes or taste here.

i hope it’s him. for a while i hated arnold, but i’ve come to respect him more as of late. i think he really found his own voice finally, with the last 2. no longer sounds like he’s trying to be john barry (which no one can do). broccoli and wilson are idiots if they don’t use him again. it could be he will only do it if they let him write the title song. smart on his part, but if they don’t budge we could be stuck with an inferior composer

Yeh thats all it is today just having someone well known doing the song but he did weave the quantum song in really well to a few cues but no where near as bombastic as say use of the title theme during the crane fight in Casino.

Hold on no way he isn’t doing it, they’ve just started shooting so its too early to even start thinking about scoring but they would never oust him out and imo someone could do a great bond score but no one could do better than him!

Thank You Takehiro for Live and Let Die, it’s truly a very enjoyable gift (to die for)!
Your efforts with Bond scores are always extremely appreciable!

I’ve just a question about two tracks of the score.
In the movie, B. J. Arnau sings her fine performance of “Live and Let Die” in New Orleans, not in Harlem. Bond seats by the stage, because of his former Harlem misadventure with a table by a wall, singing Mrs Arnau threateningly towering on him, then he is “swallowed” by the floor and taken in the presence of Mr Big/Dr Kananga…
So, should track #9 be filled in the place of #26 and #26 put as #9?

Thank You for Your attention!

AND MOST OF ALL
THANK YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN FOR YOUR MARVELLOUS EXPANDED EDITION!

I could be wrong, but isn’t the composer usually the last, or one of the last, to be confirmed in any production (let alone a Bond)? And according to the press conference the title song artist is yet to be confirmed as well, so the two are most likely linked and maybe confirmed at the same time.


mtjs
11-04-2011, 06:16 AM
Check the fifth post of that FSM thread; the OP’s source is an MI6-HQ article which doesn’t mention Arnold at all (I think it used to, but it’s been updated). The truth is that there was no mention on who the composer for Skyfall will be at the press conference or the press release. And Arnold himself confirmed via Twitter that he’s not on board at the moment.

If I’m not mistaken, the title song artists are announced very late into the production process, certainly much later than the composer. I think something may be up. It’s a curious situation, because the names of all the other important crew members have already been revealed. If Arnold doesn’t get the gig, it’ll probably be either because of his previous commitment to the Olympics, or because Mendes wanted him out.

Tak, if you are willing to upload it, I’ll take the new Live and Let Die album for the better sound quality.

I actually liked "The Dark Knight" with Heath Ledger as the Joker, but I didn’t like Batman Begins. Other than that I agree with you about this era of "darkness" in moviemaking. It doesn’t surprise me though, as films, music and other cultural art expressions always have reflected the current times and society. I don’t see anythingwrong in daring to look at the darker aspects of life, but I think what is lacking today is some sort of balance between the darkness and light, seriousness and humour, hope and despair and so on. It’s so one-sided and fake, because life ISN’T one-sided, it’s TWO-DIMENSIONAL. These things make me both upset and depressed. But let’s wait and see adn hold on, as you write.

I like Serra’s Bond score, it totally fit the tone and visuals of the film. GoldenEye without his score would be very strange.

Okay. I don’t like Brosnan as Bond (too little facial expression and too much concern with looking good) and therefor didn’t like either of those movies as well as their scores, except for TND’s title tune and the underrated Surrender with k. d. lang. Like you wrote before: Each to his own ๐Ÿ™‚

Mr Nemo
11-05-2011, 05:30 PM
Hi Takehiro,

I’ve listen the to music from my “Live and Let Die” DVD to compare it with the music in the CD and in Your edition.
I’ve found that, both in the CD and in Your edition, there is no music from the Fillet of Soul Harlem scene. In the movie we can hear a jazzy piece. Truly not a great problem, it’s a quite weak little music that can be forgotten.
Track #9 from Your edition is actually the music that B. J. Arnau sings later in the Fillet of Soul New Orleans and could be placed as track #27 as Fillet of Soul New Orleans (not Harlem).
Track # 26 seems to me very close to the music that is heard when Bond and Leiter enter in the Fillet of Souls New Orleans, just before B. J. Armaud’s version of “Live and Let Die” song. Track # 26 has a strong saxophone playing on the left that I didn’t hear in the movie score (but may be I’m a little deaf). Anyway it’s very close to the movie music and may be a different recording for the LP release.

All this annoying punctiliousness is because I like tracks in movie order and absolutely it’s not a way to criticize You or Your incomparable work on Bond’s scores, for which I never stop to be grateful to You.

Thank You very much again for Your kind attention and for Your great EBS with all their rare and shiny pearls!

I’m with you. GOOD GRIEF she is overrated. But remember, Amy Winehouse and Co. were "confirmed" on QoS for ages before she had an episode (God rest her soul). Until EoN actually says something, I would be reluctant to get too stressed out.

To the guys talking about movie darkness, especially you, Sean Barry, in your last post – you’re spot on. IMO, the uncompromising darkness was the single worst thing about Quantum of Solace. There’s this underlying theme of dread about the future of world politics and backroom negotiations which I find really unpleasant for a Bond film. I’ve always found the fictional "black and white" nature of the world of 007 is one of the more comforting things about it, and extensive civil service corruption is not a theme for a Bond film, at least not in the way they executed it.

I agree on Adele. IMO The Living Daylights is the last real Bond song. Tomorrow Never Dies and Surrender are good, but they’re lacking Barry’s punch, depth and dynamics and the metaphorical lyrics of Don Black’s previous Diamonds Are Forever, Golden Gun and Thunderball fo example. Maybe they’re not considered hip enough by the Wilson and Broccoli but I think Depeche Mode should
have a go at the Skyfall title track if anyone.
You could be right about QOS, but I was so put off by Casino R’s suffocating bleakness, that I lost all interest in watching QOS.

If you’ve ever heard Buble’s version of "Feeling Good" (which, incidentally, is by the "Goldfinger" songsmiths Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricuisse), it is practically an audition for a Bond theme song, down to the 4-note motif. And now, having watched the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Edwsf-8F3sI&ob=av2n), I can see that’s exactly what he’s aiming for!

Hopefully not Lady Gaga, either. She’ll be such old news, very, very soon.

Tak: Don’t get me wrong. I Like Brosnan as an (comedy)actor. I think he had some really funny moments even in "Tomorrow Never Dies". I’m just curious about what in Brosnan’s potrayal of Bond did you like, more precisly, in GoldenEye? Maybe what’s bugging me is that Richard Maibaum had died and that inevetably changed the style and tone of the screenplays ever since. But again, it’s all a matter of taste ๐Ÿ™‚

Thank you for this.

I think I have played some of the game but cannot remember much about it or the music, so this will be really interesting to hear.

On the subject of Bond Title tracks, there has not been one single official title I have liked since the series was relauched in 1995.

Up till then, I enjoyed most of the title tracks and liked LTK more than AVTAK, but this all comes down to taste

Whoever gets the job of singing "SkyFall" will have to be damm good, and it would ne great if they brought someone back from the classic years just in respect to the series long 50 year history.

I thought he was pretty great, myself.he did an okay job. i think the problem lay not in his acting but in the quality of the scripts. they simply didn’t develop the character and instead went the safe route by trying to make him a connery clone. there was some good writing in goldeneye, and the first half of die another day, but the rest made him very one-dimensional. what wasted talent. brosnan could’ve been great but they fed him shit dialogue, didn’t give him anything to work with

Grumpy indeed. Maybe I just don’t like people who grandstand for praise. I know I’m not the first person to say that. Sure, you posted Goldfinger finally, but you’ve been "working" on these soundtracks forever. It doesn’t take that long to do this sort of thing, as many of us know. Don’t get me wrong, the soundtracks you’ve put out are cool, but if you have them to post, get on with it. I don’t get why you’re stalling. I’m sure you’ll take your toys in now I’ve said that, but whatever.

Be careful what you say.
First of all, it isn’t your god-given right to have these scores on demand.

And second of all, it requires more work than you may be aware of.

But I’ll single you out for being crazy for thinking he’s better than Craig! ๐Ÿ™‚

I’ve done some research:Turns out that for example 50% of the members of a big Swedish filmreview board don’t like Craig as Bond either. Just wanted to let you know, to put an end to the discussion once and for all ๐Ÿ™‚

anyone can do a cut-rate expanded ost, but to get a high quality version takes more time and attention to detail. sure, i’m impatient as hell, but i’m not gonna alienate the guy making these. i’ve heard other "expanded" bonds and they’re usually inferior to tak’s work.

I talked to a professional sound effect mixer once,
wanted to know if he could give me a hint which
software to buy in order to split score from the
sound mix, from a DVD source. He just responded
to me that he himself was looking for something
like that which would to the trick, but all in vain:

"Naturally, it’s almost impossible to separate all
existing tracks – after we tried everything in our
book to fuse them to make them inseparable."

Must have been on a party I attended with
Shawn Murphy. But I can’t remember his name.
I think he worked on the Die Hard films.

Tough job,
Takehiro & crew

I’ll say it once more for those in the cheap seats -these are expanded scores. "Expanded" is generally accepted as "meaning longer than the commercial release". I never said these were definitive, and there [i]is[/u] still music missing from some of these scores. So I haven’t ‘forgotten’ anything or missed something.

Okay. I don’t like Brosnan as Bond (too little facial expression and too much concern with looking good) and therefor didn’t like either of those movies as well as their scores, except for TND’s title tune and the underrated Surrender with k. d. lang. Like you wrote before: Each to his own ๐Ÿ™‚

It’s funny how each one has their own favorite Bonds. Brosnan was my 2nd favorite, right up there with Connery. I could never understand why they didn’t renew him as I thought he was still young when he did his last Bond film. And I have never warmed up to Craig — still don’t like him as Bonds (though he’s a fine actor otherwise; just not Bondsian enough).

At any rate, thanks to the OP for all his fine work on these soundtracks. I would like to download a few but what do people think are the 2 or 3 best soundtracks out of the bunch? Yes, I’ve seen all the Bonds films (multiple times), but dang if I can remember which music goes with what movie. And especially with Bonds films, my full attention is almost always riveted on the action and dialog.

So what 2 or 3 would some recommend to start with?

I agree with you on Craig, Nina B. Good actor, but not fitting as Bond at all. What do you think about if Mads Mikkelsen had played Bond and Craig had played Le Chiffre instead of the opposite in Casino Royale, btw?

On scores to start with: Tricky…As you know everyone’s got their own taste, but if you ask me, I’d recommend From Russia With Love, Goldfinger and Thunderball. They’re the ones that got med hooked in the first place anyhow. Hope you enjoy whatever you choose to listen to first ๐Ÿ™‚

KaFaraqGatri
12-17-2011, 08:20 PM
It was a stripped down, re-edited version of "Fatal Weakness". Apparently by this time, Serra was off the project and other ghostwriters were doing music with John Altman. Doesn’t explain why two cues of Serra’s remain in the finale though, so that could just be conjecture.

Thomas Newman will score the next bond movie?

James Bond News :: MI6 :: Exclusive: Thomas Newman to compose ‘Skyfall’ score (http://www.mi6-hq.com/news/index.php?itemid=9922)

Newman is to me one of the few composers that i always wanted to see working in a bond movie. He has proven before that he can write thematic scores, and there’s a certain elegance in his music that distinguishes him from the rest.


Anaximander
01-05-2012, 03:12 AM
will be interesting to hear what newman brings to the series. i always like hearing single scores (since i’m assuming arnold will return for the next one) by established composers. as much as i like barry and arnold, it’s refreshing and interesting what martin, hamlisch, conti, kamen and serra brought to the series.

Whoa, that is huge! Skyfall’s score just shot all the why to the top of my most anticipated for 2012 by a clear mile!

Kinda feel bad that David Arnold’s not doing it though, but I’m sure he’ll eventually be back again anyway. After all, John Barry took breaks from 007 as well.

Thomas Newman is my personal favorite composer, but 007 does seem to be outside of his accepted sandbox. I really hope he’s up to the task.

If Skyfall’s score is not a whole sight better than his Adjustment Bureau work, I may have to subdue the esteem I have always held for Thomas Newman… if not discontinue my adoration for him altogether. Please don’t let us down Tom!


Nightmare27
01-05-2012, 05:24 AM
I admit I was really hoping for Arnold to return. I’m not a big listener to Newman. I don’t think he’s a bad composer, but for bond I think Arnold should have stayed.
Though I guess if Chris Nolan were to do a bond film he’d want Zimmer to compose no doubt?

Anaximander
01-06-2012, 05:16 AM
i’m trying to stay open minded….

imo, arnold needs breaks, to challenge him and remind him there are other talented guys ready and willing to score this series.

barry was king but those occasional breaks sort of kept him from getting too stale and formulaic in his work on the series; this should be the case for arnold as well.

newman isn’t known for being an action composer, but i think he could potentially do some interesting work for bond…perhaps this is good, as it probably won’t sound quite as typical and formulaic as just about every other goddamn action score being produced nowadays





aj2008
01-06-2012, 01:14 PM
If he can continue the slightly less bombastic, more atmospheric stuff that Arnold was starting to do in QoS, then I’m all for Thomas Newman. From listening to a few bits and bobs of his, he’s certainly well qualified in that department. Hopefully he can do the action stuff justice as well.

KaFaraqGatri

I’m intrigued by the choice of Newman. But at the same time perplexed. I mean, he has never done anything like this before.

Anaximander
01-07-2012, 12:02 AM
arnold is too busy being musical director for the ’12 olympics and sam mendes just went with newman because they work together on almost every film. i’m surprised the producers gave him a choice, that’s usually broccoli and wilson’s decision but i guess since mendes is seasoned enough and carries enough clout that he was able to have more decision making power.

i really don’t think he can screw it up. the worst he could do is turn in a score that is just serviceable.

i was listening to american beauty and wall*e earlier today. i was able to imagine some of it in a bond movie.

I hope Skyfall’s score sounds, both, like nothing we’ve ever heard from Thomas Newman and nothing we’ve ever heard for 007, and I hope it’s magnificent and really revitalizes and redifines the musical possibilities for a Bond picture.

But I also hope Thomas Newman is learned in the pitfalls of ever straying too far from home (Eric Serra… although I do love his GoldenEye score). If you’re going to visit the dragon, you’d better feed the beast. Just give us a couple of unadulterated full on outbursts of the James Bond theme and we should be good.


Anaximander
01-07-2012, 07:35 AM
right. arnold toned down his use of the theme a lot in the last two and there were moments when we really coulda used it

as far as one-off composers go, i think martin and kamen did the most interesting work in the series


benuit

anyway, if they do all those then we’ll have every john barry bond score expanded ๐Ÿ˜€

Thats a myth about Moonraker. Apparently no one bothered to look in France, that’s all. Or the tapes werent they were meant to be.

If I had to pick one score, if thats all I had… it would have to be LTK. AVTAK is my favorite Bond score but LTK is just so bad on the album (with tons of amazing music missing) that I would take that first. Which is weird, as Barry is my favorite composer lol.

So Judi Dnch’s M is being replaced with Ralph Fiennes M – interseting

A source from EON Production, which is making the film along with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios and Sony Pictures Entertainment, told MovieWeb that Dench was on her way out.
It said: ‘Ralph Fiennes play’s a government agent, which we never get a name on, because he is set to play the new M.
‘Skyfall centres around M (Judi Dench) where her past forces her to leave as head of MI6, and find a new M. The board of MI6 then turns to a government agent (Ralph Fiennes) to take over. M (Dame Judi) is now forced to train the new head of MI6.’
Fiennes was previously rumored to be play Bond’s old arch-enemy Blofeld, a suggestion which the actor later denied.

Anaximander
01-13-2012, 10:09 PM
jack, gk did a moonraker already

he said tswlm would be very difficult to recreate. i’m guessing since hamlisch seems to have used lots of guitars and vintage 70s synths and that ‘wakachikawkachika’ music that is in so many old 70s films

Thanks for the great work on the whole set so far!

Has been wonderful Takahiro. Would also like to thank all other contributors as you do a wonderful job.

For some reason there seems to be an error when trying to follow the link from page 1 to the new TMWTGG and comes up like this: Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: advertisement_footer in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4293

It seems to be a php/MySQL error of some kind.

Cheers Takahiro!

I would like to see GKguyver’s MR score along with Tak’s score mixed together to give the definiative version (or as close as we will get) in FLAC as well as GKgyver’s Octopussy score.

I’ve heard his Octopussy tracks on Youtube and would love to see his work expanded and mixed with Tak’s

The work these guys did together on TMWTGG was excellent.

Kafaraq & gkgyver: Do you know if someone have found a way to extract the whole or majority of the score from Dr. No or is recreating it the only way to present it? I hope for the former, even though I know of the difficulties for you. Anyway I wish you both luck ๐Ÿ™‚

Absolutely gutted I missed out on TMWTGG over the last few days. i know nothing about computers but cannot download it.

We are all in your debt!

A Damn shame about MegaUpload- though hopefully something will pop up to replace it, if everyone doesn’t just migrate to another existing service.

Looking forward to the Octopussy score here as well, but without a doubt it’s TSWLM that I’m personally craving the most. Such a great score- kept from us for so long without a proper official release!

Couldn’t you upload tracks to YouTube and then anyone can get them easily convert them to MP3?

alansmithee
01-23-2012, 02:56 AM
I think YouTube compresses audio and video down that it would lose the purpose of being encoded in Mp3 and Flac. Plus Google is quick to pull the trigger on any file that seems to draw any attention from a copyright holder. I think a nuclear war is going on with File hosting lockers, with two more already going down today. I think its time to wait and see who is still left standing and willing to stand up against these pre SOPA attacks.

Multiupload just sticks on "Initializing Upload".

Gigasize and Mediafire both work.

Little by little, my friend! Plus, I don’t remember you having all the Barry scores (I’ve not been on here much as well)… Like I said, I’ve not watched all 23 Bonds… Later on I might ask for GF, The Living Daylights, LTK, Thunderball, OHMSS (yes I did watch that, I completely forgot about it considering that Tracy drove the car instead of Bond during that chase… silly me) and possibly, Moonraker…

There’s too many to ask for, it’s going to get to a stage where I’ll want all of ’em!

Just be sure to use codenamed files for your archives like babydoll’s doing for the Star Trek reuploads… like for FRWL you can use "Tatiana Romanova" for the filename so that it’s concealed and reduces the chances of the file being removed… the only problem with MediaFire is that you have to split your archives into 200MB files each if you’re not a premium member.

Thank you for TMWTGG! Managed to get it eventually – really enjoyable! I know the film is rather silly, but I still enjoy it. Barry’s music is great, and having had to have been composed in such short space of time is remarkable. I’d love to see a more serious remake of the film, in proper cat-and-mouse style between two masters in their field, would be brilliant. I wonder who would be Craig’s Scaramanga?? Can’t think of anyone to beat Christopher Lee.

Nouniard

While Mp3 is easier for immediate playback on all of our devices, I like FLAC as it allows me to convert a lossless file to my format of choice…whether it’s another lossless format (ALAC) or to my preferred setting for devices (AAC iTunes Plus).

Plus, in a world with very affordable hard drives (up to 3TB for single drives as of now), storage isn’t the problem that it used to be…not to include our portable devices.

True but doesn’t matter as I still have to convert FLAC to mp3 to play them on mp3-players AND burn them, which has been the point since you’ve included CD-artwork all along, right? Just facts, no critisism as you should no by know. Honestly I can’t see the point in going thru this all over again. Life is too short. Jeez…


Nouniard
02-23-2012, 09:02 PM
Very true and if I were in your situation, I would have a similar mindset…however that is also what makes FLAC a great choice. If storage space was a primary influence in my choice of format and quality, I would likely download each album in FLAC as I went along and simply convert it to my lossy format of choice (aac, mp3, etc.). In fact, this is what I do anyway (regardless of storage capacity) as I convert all my music to the ‘iTunes Plus’ (256 VBR AAC) format.

Having a lossless source is the best way to give everyone what they want.

If so, I beg, please post it!!!

KaFaraqGatri
03-26-2012, 07:45 PM
I chop and change, but I think I always come back to two of the underdogs – A View to a Kill and Licence to Kill. There is some lush string work in the former, and Airship to Silicon Valley is a favorite track of mine. I also love the electric guitar additions and the action theme present in Golden Gate Fight (and some other cues). The title song is also my favorite Bond song. Licence to Kill has amazing brass work (despite Kamen admitting he didnt think he wrote so well for brass) and there are so many great unreleased cues in there that are just superlative (Bond Flames Sanchez, Dario’s Death).

But I also deeply admire You Only Live Twice, Moonraker, and The Living Daylights.

Well I spent many hours uploading them to Megaupload… and then it went down. I kept 320k files on my hard drive (most of the unreleased music on them was lossy-sourced anyway). Since the MU closure, we just don’t know how long other, similar sites are going to last. So uploading 320k files is, sadly, all I can do, which is a lot quicker and seems to be enough to keep people happy.

I do remember Bach’s "Air" being featured in TSWLM, and I’m sure Hamilsch re-did a few other classical pieces besides his own compositions for it… I’ve never listened to the OST of TSWLM but if it’s like LALD then I pass. I wasn’t that impressed with what George Martin did for that one.

These soundtracks are wonderful-thank you.

I was just wondering something. I fully appreciate that they are expanded and not necessarily complete scores. However TMWTGG seems to be much more complete for example than OP. I love the OP score -one of my faves-but a lot seems missing-the Acrostar landing,Bond’s arrival in India, his escape in the bag, "007 you’re on your own now", poolside music, the loaded dice. Why is this the case? I’m not ungrateful, please don’t think that, but just curious as to the variations.

Thank you once again!

The download slots limit is for a specific file (there are no "free" users as such… everyone is just a user). I’ve seen it used occasionally over the last couple of months, but it never lasts very long.

@monkeygra What do you mean with "pop mix"? Do you mean the "Main Titles" version the on-movie version of You Know My Name?

monkeygra
04-14-2012, 09:50 PM
oh ok, the "pop mix" is the same as the album version, which apparently is different from the single version. You Know My Name – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Know_My_Name#Release)

I’d say go with MediaFire, but be sure you name the uploaded files very discreetly… otherwise they will take down your albums if "GoldenEye" or anything like that is in the name… keep your old naming system like GE-FFS-KFG.rar or something.
The only problem with MediaFire is splitting up the archives after 200MB.

I must be pretty lucky to download Octopussy just moments ago.
It must be that KaF’s share has attracted a lot of traffic that most of us don’t get the chance…
I suggest keep refreshing every 5 to 10 min. Those spots shall be open for you.

Btw KaF, I just got your album of YOLT, but I noticed that the Gunbarrel track also has the Capsule scene on it. Sometime earlier I downloaded this album from another poster here and his got the Gunbarrel and the scene afterward seperately… This is just something of a noteworthy to mention (though I do like that the gunbarrels are on their own XP).

Anyway, as always, thanks, laddie!

Does yours have any sound effects or volume dips in it, worksofare?


Sean Barry

I downloaded and checked. The tracks and nametags match YoYoBoy19’s Expanded score except nr 22 ‘The Tanker’ is missing, which would explain the lower filesize.

Pretty sure it was taken out because my rip of that track (Tanker) sounded like garbage anyways lol.

And I’ll try to rip other Bond stuff, but I wouldn’t expect miracles. A lot of the Bond DVDs are filled with sound effects in the back channels. I’ll try to do The Spy Who Loved Me again though.

Also the reason I want to wait is because I’m certain Take’s version will sound better than the original I posted up however long ago.

At Brok2: I probably should seeing as I don’t like the sound quality of my original.

Did you mean "tried to download"? Because a dead link cannot be downloaded.

As for those asking about TSWLM: I have made some small progress. I have access to higher quality sources than I had a couple of years ago (when I actually did my first version) but the work needed to remaster (or at least improve them somewhat) is still intensive, and there is a lot of material. I also have to decide how to present them. There are some small cues, almost ‘stingers’, which on their own would yield a somewhat disjointed listening experience. Do I leave them isolated or do I combine them into other cues to make mini suites? Do I include the album versions of some cues, or are they redundant since they are not in the film?

There is much to be done but rather than post a quickly assembled, substandard album, I want to make it the best I can. After all, it’s the last one of the "classic Bond" scores. And as I have said before, its not like this is the only thing I have going on right now, so it will likely be a little while before I finish it. If you don’t want to wait for my version, or think I am BSing you because I have nothing to show, that’s entirely fine – no one is forcing you to wait or believe me. But for those who do wanna wait it out, I hope the wait is worth it when I finally post it. In the meantime, it sounds like YoYoBoy is gonna be providing us with a mix of his own, which is a good stop-gap to the final release of my own.

One or two have asked about covers – I may post the ones I had made when I post TSWLM but there are many good ones out there already. RDAF has made some, for example.

Tak, you could add the stingers at the end, or put them between the tracks, doesn’t matter really, and you could use the album cues as bonus fodder at the end of the soundtrack, so at least all versions are there, like you did with the earlier Bond’s. And a separate folder of art would be a idea so if anyone wants them they can down them

Just my opinion, but I have no problem with the disjointed listening experience. That said, if you do decide to string cues together, please include a little silence between cues. Makes it much easier if there’s a boring bit (IMO, of course) and I can edit it out cleanly for my listening pleasure.

Personally, I would much prefer isolated tracks, though MrM has a good idea of silence punctuated suites. As for album versions, There’s no harm in including them. Even if it were, say, as a seperate optional download. Basically the kitchen sink method: if it’s all there, everyone and all bases will be covered.

Hi KaFaraqGatri.

I think that any fine track, with good sound, should be included. Shorter tracks could be assembled in suites with very short pauses, if they were parts of the same sequence in the movie. So we could have musical and narrative units more coherent. Anyway, chronological order is always the best choice in my opinion.

As usual, I trust in Your exquisite taste!

Best regards.
And thank You for all again!

I downloaded the Moonraker Link, and there were no tracks from The Spy Who Loved Me

Thank you

You need to read the previous 83 pages for the answer, dude.

When I post the new version, I may put a little side-by-side comparison showing the difference in sound quality between the old version and the new.

Anyway, I’m with brok for this one, I myself prefer isolated tracks. But I think you should know that already from my last post about You Only Live Twice’s gunbarrel…
Bloody great to see this thread has not died and hopefully it will go on like the Bond movies do, KaF! ๐Ÿ˜‰

To all the fans of 007 film music, there is an upcoming book by Jon Burlingame. Amazon UK mentioned to be out in September, whereas the US site said November.
The Music of James Bond: Amazon.co.uk: Jon Burlingame: Books (http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Music-James-Bond-Burlingame/dp/019986330X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1346024471&sr=8-1)

Maybe in expanded editions?

The book sounds wonderful, but for me we need expanded CD editions. I would love to see Intrada do them. Rumours were abound a while back that it may happen but nothing’s come of it. Maybe the owners want it to be secret until nearer the time?

I’ve been toying around with some cover ideas for this series (gotta have consistency in cover art, right?) and here’s what I’ve come up with. I only have a few so far, but if anyone is interested I’ll post them as I get them done.

Excellent covers so far!! The Faberge egg, however, might look better if it was turned the other way up.

Suggestions for other covers….
TB: the underwater breather?
FRWL: Klebb’s shoe?
DAF: The Oil rig? or the Willard Whyte sign, maybe
LALD: A croc, or a something voodooesque
FYEO: Tough one… 2CV or ATAC?
QOS: The Vesper Necklace?

Keep up the good work!

Diamonds Are Forever: A diamond, Ford Mustang
Live And Let Die: Tarot cards, a gator, fake hand
For Your Eyes Only: Crossbow, Deep Sea Diving Suit
Quantum Of Solace: A bottle of H2O, oil covered body

I’d recommend for covers…

Quantum Of Solace: Vesper’s necklace (which Bond drops at the end of the movie)
GoldenEye: the satellite (I can’t think of any other significant objects in that movie)
Tomorrow Never Dies: A newspaper with "Tomorrow" on it; being the name of Carver’s newspaper..

OK…first, thanks to everyone for their suggestions and feedback! I went back and redid some of the previous ones, as well as cleaned them up in the details a bit. I won’t be deleting any of the ones I’ve already posted, but if you already have them you might want to snag the new ones as I post them. AND…I’m including tray liners for those interested. I’ll probably post one a day since they take quite a while.

EDIT: Had to make some corrections…look for updated version as part of a RAR file tomorrow.

Awesome work. Are you still gonna put them in a RAR for download on the first page? Easier than posting them here amongst the other posts, they may get lost.

I think I will make a RAR with the first batch once I get them done instead of waiting for the full set. Maybe three files in all, with about 8 films per set? Once I get the first ones done I’ll hook you up with the link.

Also, I want to give you credit for doing the actual hard work and editing the scores…any preference on how you would like your name and/or credit to read on the back?

Thanks again for your excellent work on these!

Alright, without further ado, here are the first 8 sets of covers and tray liners for the Bond scores:

Download the ZIP file here, no password needed (http://www.mediafire.com/?6cee4sa50af25rd)

Once all the films are done, I will combine them into one file for easy downloading. These sets are for those who don’t want to wait, and also as a kind of beta test to make sure there are no typos or other errors that turn up as people start taking a closer look at them.

Hopefully will have set 2 done early next week and the final set a week or so after.

Enjoy!

It’s a very cool idea. It’d be a good base for a minimalist set of covers for the movies too.

A couple of Typos:
On OHMSS, the character’s name is Sir Hilary (a man’s name, with one L) not Hillary.
On Live and Let Die, Track #28 says Solitairs and I think you want Solitaire;
On The World is Not Enough, Track 14 – You have "Khazakstan," it’s actually Kazakhstan (watch the h).
On Die Another Day, Track 5 – I don’t think "Hovercrafts" is the correct plural; I think it’s just "Hovercraft." (What is the plural for craft as in the ship (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_plural_for_craft_as_in_the_ship))

I also don’t know why, but the font on the back some of the titles (particularly in collection 1) is very hard to read. On The Living Daylights, however, it looks great; what did you do differently for that one? You may also consider a drop shadow, since it kind of disappears on some of the lighter backgrounds.

2) Stinkor mentioned trouble reading the backs on some of these.

If anyone else has trouble reading the backs, let me know which ones are the hardest to see and I’ll do what I can.

3) This set does NOT include the back/track list for TSWLM for obvious reasons. But…it does include an alternate cover bonus, so if you don’t like the one you see in the teaser above, there’s a surprise in the zip file!

I appreciate all the encouraging feedback and I’m glad to know that this set has a few fans on here. Enjoy!

octagonproplex

Adele is very good. But she’s so young that I feel they could have waited on her, especially when there’s so many well established iconic British singers who’ve never been given a crack at Bond — THE iconic fictional British hero of the modern era (outside of Harry Potter).

If it were up to me, I’d go with either Sade or Joe Cocker as my first choices. Or how about Rod Stewart or Annie Lennox? Mick Jagger (The Rolling Stones), David Bowie, Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits) or Kate Bush? David Gilmore (Pink Floyd), Roger Waters (Pink Floyd), Elton John, Peter Gabriel, Sting, Robert Plant (Led Zepplin), Roger Daltry (The Who), Eric Clapton, Jeff Lyne (ELO), Phil Collins, George Michael, Steve Winwood, Supertramp, Ozzy Osbourne, Paul Young, Simply Red, Tears For Fears, Seal, Billy Idol, Brian Johnson (AC/DC)… ect? I can actually imagine Daniel Craig’s Bond cruising in his Aston Martin and listening to those artists without a hint of irony.

All I’m saying is that one British legend deserves another. Let’s get ’em while they can still get got! Adele is like 24 years old, she’s got legit chops enough that I feel confident that her time would have come eventually, but because she’s hot right now I guess she’ll sell the maximum amount of singles. Suppose that’s the bottom line.

At least we’re past the abomination that was Jack White and Alicia Keyes.

This mentallity at its worst was taken to its zenith with the recent Olympic ceremonies — I was just like; "who the devil is Dizzee Rascal and why are you devoting some near ten valuable minutes to him as a representative of British music? And where for the love of all that is holy and true is Mick Jagger?"! …But I digress.

Still, Adele is excellent and I’ll be looking forward to hearing what an Adele collaboration with Thomas Newman sounds like (hopefully Thomas Newman is intimately involved).

I would kill for a David Bowie or Eric Clapton Bond collaboration, but the producers now think they need someone young and hip to sell the song, not realizing its about the quality. Adele is great and I was hoping she would be the one. I wanted her to do Quantum’s song so hopefully she will deliver.

Time for the third and final set!

Just a few things:

Your Diamonds are Forever cover is missing the outer radial fade that all the other covers have. Makes it seem inconsistent with the others.

‘Sif not having the Lektor for From Russia With Love! The shoe was barely in it at all, but the whole plot revolves around the Lektor! ๐Ÿ˜›

A really minor point- I personally think the spider suits Dr. No well, but there are always many people out there who are Arachnaphobic, and wouldn’t want to to see a spider in their CD collection. If you made it something else then you wouldn’t endanger alienating that crowd. To be honest I wouldn’t know what to replace it with though… a mango? The shells Ryder collects? Dr. No’s iconic radiation suit in silhouette? a geiger counter? The dragon? Hey- what about the Dragon! they talk about it and build up to it for a good half of the movie or so!

Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the release of the first James Bond movie ???Dr. No???, this unique release contains music from the original album release plus many of the cues that were not on that album.

The Adele song sounds like a very nice return to form!

I was only hoping that Thomas Newman would be involved, so that the theme song could have some carry through into the score – but it doesn’t appear that he is.

Still, I’m most pleased with what I’m hearing!

That link on MI6 is where I???ve been posting on and after checking out gkgyver???s youtube channel and that incredible Golden Gun effort ??? this is now where I???ve ended up!

So happy to have found this, what an amazing effort by KaFaraqGatri ??? you obviously have some sought after connections!

The first one I decided to listen to was LTK, its very impressive even if the fidelity isn???t quite there on the unreleased tracks.

I???ve started to go through the whole thread so I???ll try not to repeat anything but just wondered if there were any detailed notes that went with these releases? Would be good to know how they were constructed because there is a lot of mystery and confusion when sequencing Bond cues from unused music to alternates, from tracked music to music some thought were tracked but were slightly different etc???

Also I didn???t see any links for the cover art or game scores mentioned? And I guess TSWLM didn???t materialise ??? I can???t imagine why ๐Ÿ˜‰

Was there any link for the rare/unused music that was also mentioned?


KaFaraqGatri

i can’t believe (actually i can, and expected this) that all we’re getting is another lousy compilation of already available bond music. on the one hand, it’s nice to see a bond compilation that also focuses on score tracks, but this is really only a good collection for someone that doesn’t already own the soundtrack albums and would like an introduction to the world of bond music. not having any expanded bond scores is very disheartening. being the 50th anniversary of Dr. No, this would’ve been the ideal year to get these expansions. i fear that we will now never see any more new official expansions. more frustrating is the fact that much unreleased bond music is out there, sitting in a studio and waiting to be remastered and released. but i guess eon and mgm is only concerned with money, not preserving the music of their old films. hence, another stupid best of compilation with NOTHING NEW.

I’ve been carrying on listening in a random order. Found the U2 GoldenEye instrumental very interesting- never heard that before. It’s almost a shame they weren’t brought in to score the whole movie like that! They also did a vocal demo which i’m surprised didn’t make this release.

Also loved the music video version of AVTAK. The vocal coming through on that one sounds fantastic.

Were there ever any release notes that went with these?

KFG, what are the suites at the end of some of your expansions?
Are they the Nic Raine BBIA re-recordings?

It might be a nice idea to add Never Say Never Again and Casino Royale 67 to your collection of downloads.
CR 67 has had a couple of releases- this one is very interesting:
Soundtrack Preview: Casino Royale (1967) Remastered :: Collecting :: MI6 :: The Home Of James Bond 007 (http://www.mi6-hq.com/sections/articles/collecting_soundtrack_cr67_preview.php3?t=&s=music&id=02755)

TB was great, I enjoyed hearing part of the Bond/Fiona ride- one of my favourite cues.
I have a 57 second alternate cue of Bond meeting Domino which seems to be a rip from some version of the film- there was a release which had audio differences. Very little sound effects in it.
I have the 30th Anniversary LE so i’ve heard Shirley Bassey’s version of MKKBB, I really like her take on it. It got me searching for other covers on youtube but there’s not that many.
An interesting one here by Glenda Grainger:
Glenda Grainger – "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" – Audio Fidelity #45-115 (1965) Beatnik Bond Girl – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g69__0MK5tY)

I’ve done OP where I’ve always found Barry to repeat himself from TMWTGG…now on to MR – fantastic quality. Probably the last vintage Barry Bond score – it’s so majestic, I would place it in the top 5 of all Bond Scores.

That’s because it is a Thunderball Remake, look it up on wikipedia, Ian Fleming and other writers had disputes over the rights on the story and so they could make NSNA.

Indeed Kevin McClory was the one behind Never Say Never Again, as a matter of fact, I believe I’m the only one who really loved this film, as well is the main theme sung by Lani Hall and the score composed by Michel Legrand; actually I had never seen Thunderball till a couple of days ago, and I didn’t like it that much, I find far NSNA far superior in every way. And, I must say that, McClory, after winning in a courts the rights to use the Thunderball story, as well as its characters and the whole SPECTRE concept, planned to make a new remake of it which would be called Warhead 2000 AD or something like that, and he expected Timothy Dalton to reprise his role as James Bond.

NSNA is a terrible, terrible movie; it is inferior to Thunderball in literally every conceivable way. And yes, I do in fact mean "literally" literally. The only thing that movie has going for it is Sean Connery, and even he seems a bit as if he wishes he was somewhere else.

McClory, incidentally, had nothing to do with the production, apart from signing his rights to make it over to Jack Schwartzman. Thank goodness he was never able to make that Warhead movie with Dalton; it would almost certainly have been garbage, as McClory was a talentless hack. He got screwed — hard — by Fleming and company, granted; but frankly, that was for the best from my point of view.

NSNA did have a really good cast; Connery, Edward Fox, Max von Sydow, Kim Basinger, Rowan Atkinson, and Irvin Kershner directing of course, so it should have been better than it was!

Anyway, I have a query about Skyfall. I’m sure there was a big bold James Bond Theme moment in the movie (in an Aston Martin scene?) but it isn’t on the soundtrack.Was it reuse of an old recording? If so, anyone know where I might find it? I do have all the Bond soundtracks but my ear for music is not that developed to identify it!

To many BOND fans, including myself, NSNA was a true Bond film, as it was a serious look at a remake of "Thunderball". When it was made, there was no book called "Thunderball" and Ian worked with MANY writers to knock out a script for the movie, without having any book already inthe works, although Fleming would later try to claim it was always being written, but it was proven that most of the content was conceived and created by McClory, who proved it up in a court of law, and so the movie had to have both Fleming and McClory’s names on the writing credits. This has been smacked around, back and forth for more decades than I care to even think about.

Bottom line: NSNA was a serious remake of an earlier Bond film, with Sean coming back as 007, to the delight of Bond fans worldwide, AND it made a ton of money, just like every other BOND film, Eon production or not, with the sole exception of "Casino Royale" (1967) which BOMBED at the box office, and was considered by many to not just be a parody of the Bond films, but a back-handed slap at the whole spy genre in general, and most people tend to ignore the film completely. In fact, I wouldn’t even own the DVD, if not for the fact that it is the only place that you can get the 1956 "Casino Royale" TV production, in a high quality rendering! Starring Barry Nelson as the first Bond, but, unfortunatly, he was a NYC private investigator called "Jimmy Bond"!! (Shades of Woody Allen, YIKES) Hehehehehe

All in all, NSNA was a fun film, not horrible at all, as some would say, and it must be considered to be a true BOND film, simply due to the fact that it was the last appearence of Sean as 007. I wish he would come back one more time, just as a cameo in the film version of the John Pearson book "The authorized autobiography of James Bond"! When I read that, and the writer meets James Bond in person, escorted by many MI6 guards (the writer, not Bond) I can really picture Sean in that role, both in the beginning of the book, and in the end, when he departs the beach area where he gave his interview to the writer, with Honeychild Wilder on his arm! CLASSIC Bond scene!
I still have the first release of that hard back, and really need to knuckle down and transcribe it into my computer, as an Ebook, so that I can share it with all those BOND fans out on the internet! ๐Ÿ™‚

Take care, and may good Bond dreams charm your sleeping hours.

I don’t think that a Bond film should be considered "true" just because it has the original actor in the role. In the strictest sense, it is not official (i.e. EON production), ergo I do not consider it a true Bond film. It’s discussed a little bit in Everything or Nothing, a very fine documentary on the Bond films.

I prefer it to Thunderball. It at least does away with some of the INTERMINABLE underwater scenes, and I love the game sequence in NSNA.

I agree with you on NSNA William. A very underrated film indeed. Sean Connery, to me, seemed to have a good time in it too compared to You Only Live Twice and Diamonds Are Forever and that’s nice. I like CR though, but that you already know. Looking forward in you sharing the "biography" onwards by the way. Sounds like fun reading:)

I agree with you on the underwater scenes and the game sequence highlight, Stinkor. I also liked Bernie Casey’s relaxed and cool Leiter.

The dance scene were Bond breaks it to Domino that her brother is dead to me is one of the finest moments in cinema, a kind of honesty that would have done a movie shallow like "Titanic" done very well for instance. And don’t let met get started with Klaus Maria Brandauer as Largo, who is always excellent. By the way! What ever happened to great actors playing the villains Bond has to defeat? Okay, we got excellent Robert Carlyle as an exception but otherwise, ever since Christopher Walken in A View To A Kill, the actors weren’t worth the role really (or perhaps they were, the villains themselves not really well written, perhaps)
Ah, i was talking great actors, hehe, just look at Goldfinger played by German actor Gerd Froebe. German, mind you and Goldfinger happens to GAS his way to the goal. This was no coincidence, just excellent storyteller insticnt, albeit probably subconscious.

Funny you should mention the inside jokes regarding the title for example William. As I recall Sean told wife Micheline Roquebrune he would never play Bond again after Diamonds. Her reply was "Never Say Never Again". Luckily for us she was right ๐Ÿ™‚
I could go on forever on the inside jokes in the film.

I also agree with you on the moments of honesty in NSNA and the bad writing for the actors playing villains since Walken, olafolaf. It’s obviously down to bad writing. For example compare Jeroen Krabbe’s work in No Mercy (which starred Kim Basinger btw!) and The Fugitive with The Living Daylights and it shows, to me anyway, he can play villains in both a menacing and a charming way.
Interesting point on the Goldinger nervegas thing too. Bond makes a reference to the nazis after dropping the gold bar during the golf scene which also could hint on Goldfinger being a former Nazi…

Having just watched my way through the entirety of the Bond-movie catalog — from the ’50s TV version of Casino Royale all the way through to Quantum of Solace, I can say definitively that from my point of view, you guys are on crack. Never Say Never Again is the worst movie in the entire bunch. Connery is decent, but nothing special; he’s palpably bored by the whole thing (no surprise, since all reports are that the production was a miserable experience for all involved thanks to the inexperience of producer Jack Schwartzman). Brandauer is over the top, and not in a good way; Basinger is hot, but stiff as a plank; Barbara Carrera is having fun, but may as well be the Tasmanian Devil, she’s so cartoonish. Don’t even get me started on the embarrassing Rowan Atkinson scenes.

The action scenes suck, the cinematography is flat, and the music — a few scenes excepted (such as the tango, which is indeed a very good scene) — is terrible. I still like the video-game scene, though; that was kind of a cool idea.

Overall, though, yikes; that thing is a big pile of suck.

I think you got me wrong, though i totally forgot about the Nazi Gold. Anyways, I wasn’t talking about Goldfingers character being a Nazi (perhaps), what i meant to say was, that using a german actor adds another layer of uneasyness to what we experience in the movie.

I’m with Biff Stroganoff on this one- Never Say Never Again is just awful. The cast was great, but the writing was just terrible. The action sequences were a bit flat too- I mean, Bond sneaks into a villa to rescue some girl, who stabs him, and he fails his mission. What kind of crap opening is that? It may have actually held weight if Bond was either shaken by the experience or was on probation or something through the events of the rest of the film, but nah, he’s just the same ol’ confident bond, only now looking just as old as Moore in A View to a Kill. Connery was clearly phoning it in, as well.

I think the biggest part that rammed it home for me was when I saw a documentary that compared the Goldeneye and NSNA casino scenes. Did you know they were shot in the same casino? In Goldeneye we have a traditional card game sequence involving Bond and the movie’s femme fatale sizing each other up, with a lot of other elements at play. The camera gracefully pans the casino, we see it’s elegance, opulence, and patrons doing their thing.

In NSNA? We get shuffled into a smaller deserted room for Bond and the Villain to play a friggin’ arcade game?? Which, by the way, uses visual representations of the exact bombs that have just been stolen? Eugh.

Actually, if there’s one thing NSNA is good for, it’s showing us how awful Bond is when you go off formula. Sometimes we need to see Q virtually worshipping the ground Bond walks on to be reminded why it’s better when Bond drives Q nuts. Sometimes we need to see Bond with a stupid, bumbling sidekick (Sorry Rowan Atkinson- you’re great in other stuff, honest!) following him around everywhere to be reminded why it’s better when Bond is just left to his own devices. Sometimes we need to have the Villain’s creepyness shoved in our face with a nonsensical two-way mirror perv to be reminded why it’s so much better when the Villain has a bit of actual class and dignity to themselves, instead of just being some loser who likes to go beserk occasionally.

Actually, Now that Quantum of Solace is out and pretty much does all that by itself, we don’t really need Never Say Never Again for ANY reason anymore. Thanks, QoS!

EDIT: Also, for the record, the Thunderball novel came out a full four years before the Thunderball movie.

It did. It was based — without the permission of anyone else involved — on screenplays written by Fleming and Jack Whittingham, with considerable story input from Kevin McClory. McClory was a talentless hack, but Fleming did, in fact, plagiarize him, and Whittingham, and lost a court battle over it.

There is a fascinating book called The Battle For Bond about these goings-on. I finished reading it a few weeks ago!

Also, I have a 5.1 version (corrected from the poor Blu-Ray mix) of "Live and Let Die" on that page along with a custom mix of Skyfall in 5.1 by mixing an instrumental stereo source with the vocal stereo source.
Enjoy!

@KaFaraqGatri Yes, but it seems like the vocals are in the back channels while the surround channels are in the front channel. I’m not sure if my disk is odd or whether it was an unintentional flub by the sound mixers.

Does anyone happen to know how/where to go the little cue of "into Russia" (or Into St. Petersburg), its about 20 seconds long, you hear it when the Bond’s plane…lands in St. petersburg, before he meets jack wade.

I’ll be upping these soon. Sorry for the wait.

Don’t be, the waiting actually adds to the excitement. There are times I play those "slow/low cues with high tension" tracks from the score, like Death of the Tarantula, right before choosing to come to this thread. It sure prickle my skin with suspense to find out wether you succeeded or not… XD

You have to go to Rafael 00_Agent’s Bond Music thread (Thread 45183) to find that track, it’s one of few tracks that Kat was unable to edit out the SFX, reason why it’s not here… I would post it for you, but unfortunately, since Mediafire changge their lay-out page, I can’t seem to grasp where I should go to upload a file without the need to sign-up…

Thanks for any answer.

No problem about Skyfall. Your dedication to this enormous task of Bond sountrack-dom is most appreciated by this Bond fan. You have my most sincere thanks for all your hard work in expanding these scores. Short of the scores being properly re-released your versions are the ones that I listen to the most. Again many thanks for your generosity of time and hard work in services to Bond music. Hopefully, someone might notice the 93 pages in this thread alone (and many more in others) and realise that there is a market for these scores in their fullness and finally get into gear to release them, even if only as limited editions.

Sanico

Kafa your work on this fan-made expanded rips are all of the highest quality, and it’s fantastic to finally see the spy who loved me expanded. From all of the original soundtracks this was one of the worst represented on album.

In relation to TSWLM, it’s great to now hear new interpolations of the song theme in ‘Arrival at the Ruins’, ‘Bond’s Bandage/Ferry Arrival’, and the Bond 77 theme used on ‘Underwater’. This track also has a cool variation of the ‘Ride to Atlantis’ theme. Maybe one of the best of the new tracks.
One thing i noticed too and which was not presented on the OST, is a 5-note motif for the Russian/Anya characters in ‘Missing Submarine’, ‘Briefing Anya’ and ‘General Gogol’. Interesting.
Also great work you’ve made on ‘The Pyramids’, with mixing the original track with the new material especially now with a new finale added. I got used to hear this track in the OST which fades to ‘Eastern Lights’, and i was surprised when i hear this new end, which is rather good actually. Of course that you can notice the difference in sound from the OST mix and the new music, but all of that is forgivable considering the source you’ve been working on them.
Another track worth of mention is ‘Trouble with Jaws’. Not because is a memorable track per se, but because apart of ‘The Tanker’, it’s the one that most resembles to a John Barry track in a Bond score.

Out of curiosity, the Lawrence of Arabia spoof scene which has the theme written by Jarre for that movie, was left out of your expanded. I assume it was excluded because was not originally composed by Hamlisch?

Finishing just to thank you again for TSWLM, and praise all the extraordinary rips you’ve made to the other scores! Thanks Kafa ๐Ÿ™‚


KaFaraqGatri
11-29-2012, 02:32 AM
Thanks for your kind words. Its nice when people notice little things (like the mixing of The Pyramids scene).

I did leave off the non-original stuff and some stuff was just unrippable. This edition I did some time ago; I was planning on revisiting it — and had started doing it again, as I stated some pages back — but everyone was so eager to hear it, I thought I’d post the old one. Its still an OK effort, and I doubt I could have gotten anything much extra, to be honest.

As the saying goes, "never say never" – I may still do a Skyfall edit one day. After that, that would be a good place to end it – anyone who’s seen the film will know why, the door is closed on a certain part of Bond history and the films from here on in will be different.


Anaximander
11-29-2012, 02:35 AM
i like how hamlisch pays homage to barry in a few subtle ways. he uses part of "stalking" from FRWL, for instance, in the scene where bond and anya are being stalked by jaws in the ruins.

KaFaraqGatri, what can I say other than what has been already said. A huge thank you for presenting us with the very best of Bond Music. This has indeed been a real pleasure and this has been For our ears Only! The quality has been second to none and it has been great hearing some of the lesser known music of the Bond series. Once again a huge thank you and maybe we will be treated to Skyfall.

Your mission KaFaraqGatri has met with considerable success.

Hats off to you, KaFaraqGatri. You’ve provided us all with the most complete bunch of Bond music to meet our ears so far, and I’ll be forever obliged to you for all your efforts.

I support the idea of a 007 mega-post, including your 007 score editions and more editions by other people, with extended versions from Casino Royale (1967) and Never Say Never Again. They’re not official movies (and the first is an almost unbearable mess of a film) but both are based on Ian Fleming’s creature and deserve a little niche in every Bond fan’s heart (at least, they do in mine).

Also an avid fan of your reconstructions, I wondered why you did a sub-standard job on the Octopussy score. Why didn’t you include about 15 minutes of the wonderful suspense music by Johzn Barry that appears in the second, Europe part of the movie? I’m waiting for this material for years to emerge. What was the problem? Disinterest from your part? Instead, you chose to include more of Nic Raine, which doesn’t really cut it.

Could you possibly link us this approximate version? Even if it’s not perfect we’d really like to hear it.

Also what happened to the other cues in TSWLM? ones like:

Bike chasing Lotus
Tanker launches Submarines
Jailbreak
Disarming the Warhead
Accessing Control Room
Preventing Armaggeddon
Escaping the Tanker

YoYoBoy managed to get these without dialogue/sfx- they just need some good old KaFaraqGatri clean up. Could you give them a go?

I don’t mean to be a negative nancy about it but it seems nearly a quarter of the tracks have been left out

No, they are not. Brok2 is right.

@brok2

Same problem with Octopussy – he left out quite a lot of the unreleased suspense cues, which to me are essential.
For my part, it would be good enough to have them with slight s/fx – rather than not having them at all. Somehow,
KaFaraqGatri thinks otherwise.

Spoliansky
12-01-2012, 04:53 PM
No bad feelings, raybond. It’s just that he was on such an amazing roll with his expanded Bond material that we are used to certain standards. On Octopussy and TSWLM, he clearly left out so much of the material everyone was waiting for, that it just shows. Everything else he did was nothing short of spectacular. Speaking personally, I never touched these film scores because I literally believed that I could never do a job as good as KaFaraqGatri.

Those of you who don’t appreciate what KaFaraqGatri has done here for the past few years, can always try to complete the soundtracks themselves rather than complain about someone else’s generosity.

Why is it that whenever someone critiques a body of work, or requests something made available that a creator has revealed they have done behind the scenes, people like you always appear and puff out your chests and declare them to be dissing the whole body of work, and you tell them that clearly the only course of action is to do it themselves? Have you ever, even once in your life decided that you do not have the right to be dissatisfied or want more of something that you find really good, because you are incapable of doing that job and reaching that level of quality yourself?

If a builder makes you an amazing house, but forgets to put the glass in the skylight, do you hold your tongue because you can’t fit glass?

Do you, for that matter, decide to build a whole new house for yourself from scratch?

Do you now understand how archaic and flawed the ideal you and people like you present to the world; that unless you do something yourself, you must either put up or shut up?

We love and massively appreciate what has been done by KaFaraqGatri and those like him. All we’re asking is that, having run 99m of a 100m dash, they take one more step and cross that finish line.


KaFaraqGatri
12-02-2012, 04:14 AM
I think the problem with forums is that "tone of voice" cannot always be read easily, because its just words on a screen. So someone saying, "Why isn’t X on here?" might be read as being quite harsh and rude, when it might just be a genuine, neutral-toned question – which would be completely obvious if it was being spoken.

I also think its not really a good analogy to use a house being built – after all, a house needs a skylight. No one needs any extra tracks; it just would have been nice. But I didn’t forget to include anything. Anything not on these was not on for a reason.

Its been a while since I did these, so I don’t know the specifics, but anything I left off would likely due to there being SFX. Or perhaps the music I had was in stereo but there were elements in one of the channels that needed removing, which would mean copying the clean music from one channel to the other, thus creating a mono passage. I wouldn’t do this, because it would sound strange. Perhaps this is what other fans have done? There is one example I can think of. There’s a rip of TSWLM I heard years ago and it had a DVD rip of the ski case. Not only is the whole score sped-up by 4% (as its from a PAL source) but its littered with obnoxious effects and crashes to mono at numerous points where the sound from one channel has been duplicated into the other to remove SFX. It sounds terrible.

Octopussy was one of the hardest to do, and I just did what I could. TSWLM, as I said before, is my initial attempt. I was working on a new version, which has better sound quality. I am still working on it, and if it ever gets done I’ll post a link to it. But I just wanted to get something out there, as a lot of people were asking about it. Its by no means perfect, but we’ll see if anything turns up.

As a matter of fact, a discussion like this has rekindled my interest in it. I’ll perhaps take a look at my material again soon and see how it goes.

Octopussy has never been high on my wish list for expanded Bond scores. It’s a marvelous score, but I think the original album contained most of the best cues from the film. I’m not saying I don’t like your expanded version, I quite appreciate it. This comment is directed more at some of the folks that have criticized your edit. I’ve heard it’s next to impossible to rip anything from that film without having sound fx. Also, a lot of cues heard in the film are simply tracked. The Bond theme that plays when Bond is driving the car on the train tracks is the same cue that’s played during the taxi chase earlier in the film. Also, 009 gets the knife is the same exact cue played when Bond and one of the knife brothers fall off of the train.

As for TSWLM, I don’t understand the fuss. I enjoyed it. I know it was missing stuff, but then it’s labeled as Expanded, not Complete. It’s the best expanded version I’ve heard. YoYoBoy’s version is indeed more complete, but many of the film rips sound like shit. I see no point in listening to the most complete possible version of a score if I’m just going to fast forward through a bunch of unlistenable tracks anyway.

I agree, the missing music isn’t that extensive in comparison to other Bonds. I also agree that its a great score, but some of the best tracks are on the album.

I know it was missing stuff, but then it’s labeled as Expanded, not Complete. It’s the best expanded version I’ve heard.

Thanks, Lye. I think people sometimes think the two terms are interchangeable, probably due to soundtrack labels releasing expanded scores that are sometimes actually complete, so consumers get confused. But expanded does not mean complete, generally speaking.


Anaximander
12-04-2012, 12:02 AM
I’ve also noticed that a lot of users on this forum confuse "Isolated" with "Complete" scores.

The isolated channel on a dvd/blu merely presents the score as heard in the film. Often the directer or composer choose to omit certain parts from the film. So it’s not necessarily the complete score.


KaFaraqGatri
12-04-2012, 12:05 AM
True, but one could argue its complete simply because its all the music from the film you saw and enjoyed. You don’t know what you’re missing otherwise, ya know?

Anaximander
12-04-2012, 12:17 AM
True, and sometimes it’s unnerving to hear an OST album and hear music that isn’t in the film (i.e. Star wars deluxe soundtracks)

KaFaraqGatri
12-04-2012, 12:26 AM

I’ve listened through TSWLM a few times and I have to agree with previous posters: You’ve done a really great job as usual, KaFaraq! ๐Ÿ™‚
I recentley stumbled upon what is called "The Spy Loved Me Expanded" with "Good sound Not SFX" and "Tracks: 416 Total time: 73:59 mins.": CDRareScore :: INFO CD (http://leolor.cogia.net/?op=di&idcd=1375)
Does anyone now if this could be the original score or score tracks mixed with album cuts?? 416 tracks sounds way too many and I doubt it includes for example Bike Chase and Ski Chase, considering the obvious impossibility to rip clean FX-free tracks.

I’ve also noticed that a lot of users on this forum confuse "Isolated" with "Complete" scores.

And then great sadness.

Ol’chap, you made the best "expanded" Bond score ever to grace on the internet! I salute you, Commander Kaf! If there ever was a chance that the "complete" scores would surface in the future, I have without a doubt that you would have a hand in it! I would just rank you to Admiral (to admire you from beyond) if that came to pass.

I will say about those isolated scores, they may have not been intented to be in the final stage, but they’re good indication of "what if" scenarios could’ve been put into thought in the development process. Take the Tank chase in St. Petersburg scene, we would’ve never found out that their was another completely different score for it. Makes me wonder if that their was some sort of "altered mode" in the DVD/BD special section to see how it would came about, just for the curiousity! Seeing the the same scene with the completely redone John Altman/Nick Raine’s playing it safe, "Trying my best to catch my female witness" score or Eric Serra’s all out, original take of "Fuck it! I’m driving a bloody Tank and I’m not afraid how to use it to get my job done!"

All in all, as Alec Trevelyan would put it, "Well done, good job…"

P. S. I finally finish mashing a better OST and the film version together of Backseat Driver from TND, but ever since the revision of mediafire, I am unable to load it up without the hassle of signing up…

I wish the future will bring a DVD or/and release of "The Spy Who Loved Me" with a quality sounding isolated score or separated music score, so we all finally get to here the movie version of Ski chase/Bond ’77, The HMS Ranger hijacking and so on. Of course an official complete original soundtrack would be even better, but I’ll doubt that will ever happen.

Sanico I have talked a few times with Lucas K about why they didn’t remaster and expand all the scores, and apparently he said that the studios just didn’t have the money.Or didn’t wish to expand the whole series.Which is a real shame, considering now that some of the original scores have now been lost.
Lucas and his old company Film Score Monthly also produced brilliantly the original Man From U.N.C.L.E. cds sometime back.They were also co produced by Jon Burlingame, who has now written the James Bond ‘bible on Bond music. Trust me what Jon doesn’t know ..it isn’t worth talking about.
A fascinating read for all lovers of Bond music.

Well, KaFaraq . . . as a relative newbie to these pages, and seeing the effusive (and sometimes creative) manner in which others have already expressed their gratitude, I’m not quite sure how to convey the depth of my own appreciation without my voice getting lost in the general din. I think I’ll stop short of the billboard-sized colored lettering for now, however, and just state plainly that, as a lifelong lover and collector of filmusic, I’ve never been satisfied with my Bond library . . . until now. You’ve completed my collection, and in a manner both stunning in scale and exquisite in the attention to detail. Clearly this was a labor of love for you. Now we’re the beneficiaries, and I (honestly) can’t thank you enough for your effort and your generosity.

Actually, though . . . I should say my collection’s almost complete. The link for The Man With The Golden Gun isn’t going through, and (naturally) that’s the one I’ve had a tough time tracking down elsewhere. As much as I hate to ask for more—any ideas on this?


KaFaraqGatri
12-21-2012, 11:46 PM
I have to say it continues to surprise me how much people seem genuinely enamored by these. It really was a labor of love, and whilst the results are mixed (and not complete in some cases), I am glad people love them as much as I do. I adore the Bond music.

As for TMWTGG, I’ll reup that but please remind me if I forget.

On a side note . . . do you enjoy working with Packupload? I’ve appreciated its ease of use in downloading your scores. I’m looking—as a helpless, babbling neophyte to this whole file-sharing business—to start returning some favors around here by uploading some of my own jewels.

is anyone else bothered how they’ve stopped using the gunbarrels at the beginning of the films? i always loved that part, with the barry orchestra, especially in the moore era when he used a slightly more symphonic arrangement of the bond theme. it helped set the tone for the next 2 hours and you knew exactly what you were watching. the way they did it in casino royale was understandable, but removing it from the beginning of quantum really bugged me. if i didn’t know better, i’d think i was watching any generic action thriller in those 1st couple minutes.

it’d be like removing the giant star wars logo and william’s music from the beginning of episode 7


KaFaraqGatri
01-12-2013, 07:06 AM
It bothers me too. I can understand it being at the end of QoS, as Bond has — by that point — become the Bond we know. I really thought it would be at the start of Skyfall but no. No idea why, other than that they wanted a "yeah!" moment with it being the 50th anniversary. I hope its back in its proper place in 2014.

GreatKenji
01-12-2013, 07:52 AM
Yes, you both are right, and I hope the gunbarrels returns at the beginning of the next film, by the way, what’s the real chance for Skyfall to win the best score Academy award? And correct me if am I wrong, but this is the second time a Bond score is nominated, right? And also the second time a Bond title song is nominated as well, isn’t it?

Is this ‘deluxe’ version, one of yours KF? Or do you mean there is an expanded official release coming soon? Either is good.
Really all I need is a rip of the Gunbarrell/Bond Theme and the end credits music & possibly the music when the helicopter arrive at Silva’s island. Is much else missing from the CD?

I had wondered that with the score being Oscar nominated, I wonder what the chances are of an FYC expanded/complete release?


Grubbuts
01-12-2013, 05:39 PM
I think Newman’s actually in with a decent chance. There’s some extremely strong competition – excepting maybe Hans Zimmer you have four other modern heavyweights and regular contributors to Hollywood soundtrack-making. But Newman, someone who traditionally does drama lends an element of what might be perceived as class by the Academy (they’re such fuddy-duddies). The Skyfall score could be the dark horse. Either way, it’s good that both the song and the score have at least been recognised by this venerable institution after the Bond series being mostly ignored for so many years.

KaFaraqGatri
01-12-2013, 09:56 PM

No, no official release. It wouldn’t happen that quickly, and most likely never would ๐Ÿ™‚

There is quite a bit of music missing from the album – some cues are truncated, but the essence of them is there. I guess album time was an issue, or perhaps Newman didn’t like how they played away from the film. As for actual cues missing, there’s maybe three or four missing entirely (but don’t quote me on that, I don’t know it as well as the other scores).

My version is 94 mins with no FX (of course). I’ll be uploading it later, I am sure the talented folk here can make some artwork for it. However, I’ll be revisiting this in future, so this isn’t definitive. I’ll post a better version later in the year, possibly in FLAC and MP3.

Thank you for the expanded edition of Skyfall

This is my first taste of the soundtrack as the official release is still sealed and i decided not to listern to the score until after i’ve seen the film

having now seen the film a few times, it is far easier to listern to the score as I caN picture what has happened in the film, where in the past, i’ve listerned to the scores before seeing the film and said "yuk"

Thanks for making the wait worth while

Cool! Whenever I feel low I just find a funny WLIIA video to watch and I feel so much better! : )
Do you prefer the UK, or the US version? I watch em both, but mostly the US.

Oh yeah, and thanks again for sharing all these scores. I’m listening to your expanded Skyfall right now! : )

Thanks for SKYFALL deluxe edition. It present Bond’s album as it should be, with title song and end credit. And for Golden Globe award winner song which I don’t know it is first Bond song that win or not, and also for Newman’s nominee score at, which if it win (at rarely chance) will not at all surprise for a long long history of Bond’s music at Oscar should recognize.

Have been heard about expanded release of Dr.No. last year. Anyone know about this?

Kafa, by the way, where did you get "Old Dog, New Tricks", cue that you entitled "Close Shave (Alternate)" in your awesome expanded releasse, encoded at 320 kbps? I thought that because it was a digital bonus release, it can only be found encoded at 256 kbps (VBR).

what’s the real chance for Skyfall to win the best score Academy award? And correct me if am I wrong, but this is the second time a Bond score is nominated, right? And also the second time a Bond title song is nominated as well, isn’t it?

marvin hamlisch’s TSWLM score was the 1st oscar nod – lost to star wars, and rightfully so. no other score in ’77 could hold a candle to it. not sure about 1st time a bond songwas nominated..i think it was the same film

I don’t think Newman will win. However, the Academy may feel they’ve shortchanged Bond in 50 years and may let Newman win for this reason alone.

it would make sense that a bond film won a best score oscar, if anything. to me the music is what makes the films breathe. it’s just a shame that they never saw fit to award barry for OHMSS or maybe AVTAK, but at least he was recognized for dances with wolves and some other great scores

i haven’t had a chance to hear life of pi or argo yet, but among the three i’ve listened to, anna karenina sounded like a shoe-in. desplat seems to be an academy favorite in recent years, although because this may be one of williams’ final scores, it wouldn’t surprise me if he got the award. skyfall is a definite darkhorse

personally, i thought lincoln was an average williams score. it sounded similar to his other historical epic scores. i definitely hear some jfk and even a pinch of amistad in there. nothing new, nothing award-worthy.

Live and Let Die was the first Bond song to be Oscar nominated, back in 1973 (the year I was born)

And my thanks to KF for another ‘deluxe edition’. It’s funny, I look forward to his releases as much as look forward to the ‘official’ release, if not more.

Now we need to find an Oscar FYC edition of the score, in case there are any extras. Maybe someone will release the recording sessions at some point….

Sadly there’s no way to get it, a lot of people, including KaFa have tried to rip it and work on it, but sadly it’s a nightmare thanks to the sound effects… so let’s wait that someday The Spy Who Loved Me receives an expanded official release.

DVDWorldUSA :: Advanced Copy Pre-order Price Guarantee (http://dvdworldusa.com/advanced.asp)

ADVANCED COPY PRE-ORDER PRICE GUARANTEE

We have changed the way that we are offering the latest releases from the USA. You can now get the movie you want early and at the lowest price on the web.
Once we receive the title, it will be sold at our normal selling price. Pre-ordering will guarantee early shipping and a substantial saving.

Why pre-order?

ADVANCED COPY AND LOWEST PRICING

We usually receive top sellers up to 3 weeks before the official U.S. release date.
Pre-order now with our lowest price guarantee and your order will be shipped as soon as we receive stocks, via our express service (see shipping policy for rates).

IN-STOCK PRICE

This is the day that we physically receive the title, the price will be considerably higher than the ADVANCED COPY PRE-ORDER PRICE.

US Customers Please Note:

Unfortunately, we cannot ship product to customers in the US ahead of the release date.

They do this for many major films, like Prometheus or TDKR.

Basically, the studio ships US copies to US retailers around 3 weeks before street date, but they can’t sell them in the US until the street date. Since DVDWorldUSA sells them to territories outside the US, this isn’t legally a problem and they sell them as soon as.

UPDATE: If anyone wants this, end credits ripped from the DVD’s surround track. Excuse the slight sfx/dialogue at the start. https://soundcloud.com/antovolk/skyfall-end-credits-with

The main title was recorded separately be Adele & Epworth, wasn’t it? ie not part of the Newman recording sessions. And wasn’t the film version of SkyFall an edit of the original, rather than a separate recording?

Having said that, I would jump for joy if someone did share the sessions – I really want the complete version of the gunbarrel.

They were both recorded at Abbey Road, IIRC. And the film version of Skyfall is not an edit of the single version, it’s a slightly different mix.

Can you give a preview of this song?

Has a fantastic music played in the chase scene between Bond and Silva in the subway station. She is like the beginning of the song ‘Granborough Road’ but is completely different from it. Can you have this song without SFX?

I did, in fact, manage to get about 60% of the film version totally clean but it fell apart towards the end (after I spent many, many hours on it)."

As many others have written, I too would like to hear this, KaFa. Perfect or not, I’m sure it will be the best we’ll ever get. If you have the time, please post it.

Please, stop messing around with the Bond legacy. You have clearly shown to the world that your Bond edits are godawful and make the real fan vomit. Missing stuff gets compensated with dull, overlong Nic Raine suites. Sound quality improved? I cannot tell what you really do with all your costly equipment. If there are no good DVD or Blu-ray rips, you make the worst mockups available. Shame on you, KaFarqgatri, for making my eyes bleed and my ears vomit. Stop it – now.

I know the first rule of an internet forum is to not feed the trolls, but sorry, can’t let this pass…

No-one is forcing you to download or listen to them. If you can do better you are welcome to try. Otherwise you would do better to keep quiet and let people think you are a fool, rather than opening your mouth and removing all doubt. Basically if you can’t saying anything polite or constructive, then don’t say anything at all.

BTW, have you gone through all the threads that have DVD or Blu-Ray ripped materials and castigated them, or are you saving your delightful advice for this thread only.

I’m too polite to swear, but as Bond would say, ‘there’s a useful four-letter word…. and you’re full of it’.

There, I feel better now.


Spoliansky
02-09-2013, 08:38 PM
Not correct, Ray. Public opinion is forcing me to download them, because the general judgment seems to be: These are the best versions of the Bond scores around. For almost 3 years already, they have gathered some reputation. Which forced me to download them, because I am no ignorant of another man’s opinions, and to compare them to what’s already available. And when I compared them, I found them NOT WORTHY.

They sound crummy and partly like fucken old LPs forced through terrible noise gates. Leaving out the most wanted cues (a matter of highly subjective pre-selection worthy of a SS-Officer’s daily routine) and not telling the forum members. Then, at the end of his incomplete assembly, he’s stuffing everything with filler from lame alternates by Nic Raine, selling it as "expanded". At least three of these edits suffered from boredom, because KFG had lost interest in the project.

There’s also a terrible glitch at the end of each track of YOLT. Noob at work?

Oh come on, Ray. Don’t be such a tit. Bitching like a baby.

———- Post added at 09:38 PM ———- Previous post was at 09:31 PM ———-

As far as I perceive it as an objective bystander, the reality seems to be that KFG has brainwashed everyone here into believing that his Bond edits are the definitive edits. Which is as far removed from reality as can be.

Thank you Jessie for acting swiftly. Now we can get back to looking forward to KFG’s latest offering. Having heard the SkyFall FYC tracks (the same user has a relatively clean rip of the ‘Back to Work/Gunbarrel’ cue) that have been released on YouTube, I’m eagerly awaiting what KFG has obtained (especially with regard to recording sessions music). I just wish I had as much access to score music as others clearly have, but I get to enjoy it through their generosity, so no complaints.

Since KaFa’s upcoming edition uses the original sessions, I think can be considered a "complete score", so here’s my quickly made custom cover art for it –

[edit: see updated version below]


KaFaraqGatri
02-10-2013, 10:10 PM
Sadly, its not complete. It’s missing maybe three cues so its not real sessions. Still, much to enjoy on it!

I like the cover, but I would lose the bottom line of text in orange. It makes it look less… real. The rest of it is very nice!

scorehunter66
02-11-2013, 04:46 AM
What is exactly is this 2 cd version of Skyfall?

It’s just a cover someone’s produced using the tracks from the ‘for your consideration only’ 2-disc version. What it doesn’t take into account is that all music relating to the James Bond theme (even a one-off orchestra strike) was not included in it along with the title song (most likely because they weren’t composed by Thomas Newman), so it’s not that expanded as a result.

Anyway, I’ve been playing around with three separate versions of the score (the OST, the FYC and the Blu-Ray DTS HDMA track) and they all have their differences in one way or another. I might compile a comparison list as I do find the discrepancies interesting.

But this is different. Neither the FYC or OST have proper tracks on them. In this case, both the FYC and the OST are edited (albeit differently). Furthermore, for some reason, the FYC combines some individual cues into one track. For example, I’ve no idea why Severine/5 Agents has been combined into one piece when they are clearly two separate cues.

As for official reiusses having different versions of music, they only usually do this only if the album presentation was specially prepared by the composer (First Blood), or contained different/unique mixes in comparison to the film versions (The Untouchables).

i wish the 2003 bond expansions had done that. kendall wasn’t allowed to do 2 discs. there was some music left off of thunderball. the reissue shouldv’e looked sort of like your version on the first and beginning of 2nd disc, then include classic LP lineup. all of the bond scores still deserve this treatment from mgm

These are being posted here for Bond fans everywhere. Due to the age of the material, and the archival nature of some of the film sources used, the sound quality 23. Skyfall (44 tracks, 111 mins)
This edition contains the most complete version of the score available, with more content than the FYC, OST and iTunes releases combined. It took time, money and effort to track down the material I could, which was slightly marred by the fact I was not able to access the Blu-ray or DVD as neither was released at the time. I’m still not 100% happy with the set as a whole, but I’m grateful for what I do have to listen to. Thanks to Sparktank for providing a very high quality studio master of the trailer music.

Again, thank you for the work in getting this to us KaFa ๐Ÿ™‚

Don’t mean to rain on your parade though, I just decided to fix up the editing in the opening of the "Ronson/Cars" track (the bit between where you had the audio from the DVD/BD and where the FYC track comes in should’ve been a bit longer) using my Blu-ray – if anyone wants it here it is rc.mp3 (http://www.mediafire.com/?pehfumexvl3u3xp)

It’s fine, I don’t have the BD/DVD so was just using what I have. Plus, IIRC, there is some noise during that segment and it was mainly some sustained strings, possibly tracked/looped? That opening cue has quite a few edits in it, and the FYC track didn’t have the start. If you lay it against the film it doesn’t run in time at all. The gunshots and sound effects hide some of the edits, and I was more concerned with leaving the cues at their original, or close to original, as they could be – before any edits or film mixes were made.

Well, have people established the name of Judi Dench’s Craig-Era M?

Barbara Mawdsley’s commonly accepted, though I think that was "established" during Brosnan’s run. There’s also apparently a prop from Skyfall that has her name as Olivia Mansfield. Bottom line though, there’s never been any onscreen reference to it.

raybond
02-23-2013, 09:40 AM
It appears Judi Dench may have played two different M’s. If the props in this article (see link from CommanderBond.net: SKYFALL’s props reveal M’s real name – CommanderBond.net (http://commanderbond.net/17169/skyfall%C2%B4s-props-reveal-m%C2%B4s-real-name.html)) are referring to M, it appears Barbara Mawdsley is her Brosnan-Era character, whilst her Craig-Era M might be called Olivia Mansfield.

Does get me wondering though, are they going to make all the M’s have to have a surname beginning with M? Would limit the potential candidates a little, wouldn’t it?

I know I’ve come here late…. but forgive me for not going through all 109 pages, I have gone through quite a few, and didn’t really find the answer to this, but can someone explain what these expanded ones are. I’ve looked at one or two and they seem to be the same as the normal expanded, like Diamonds for example, but just in different order of play. And the other one was OHMSS, The ones that do have a few extras on, is this just a lift from the music tracks of the DVD?

Does Skyfall have the Bond theme track when the helicopter arrives at Silva’s lost city, and OHMSS didn’t have the skating music. Is there any extras on the DAF and OHMSS or is this just the order of play for the most part?

What are the Medleys and Suites? Recognise the Prague Silva Screen covers, is that the medleys or suites?

Be really interested to know what they all are, but don’t believe there’s a real answer to the questions in there. I saw that the OP said read the blurb before listening on one of the pages but don’t see it anywhere?

Ohhh, PLEASE do!

Also, if anyone needs them, I bought the 4 non-score songs and the Gin Wigmore song used in the Heineken commercials. They’re all iTunes 256k .aac with the user ID data removed. I’m not sure if there’s an issue with importing them into iTunes 11 since I already have the originals, but they drag onto my iPhone just fine. Probably just me.

I labelled them to be inserted into KaFaraqGatri’s 2-disc Skyfall edition, but "Moonlight" is the one I’m not 100% sure of. Either iTunes had a different performance available, or I just can’t hear it in the film. Ultimately I placed it as the music heard when Bond follows Severine to the bar & drops his earpiece into Eve’s drink. The music heard before Eve vists Bond in his room was a vocal performance, and the music heard while Bond gets his martini is a wind instrument. If anyone has any concrete info on where "Moonlight" plays (and if it’s even this version,) I’d be grateful.

Maybe a user can ask Tony Lewis (he is on a Twitter "TonyLewis musiceditorcouk") (Producer of the Skyfallscore) about this cue on Silvas Island and the complete Gunbarrel Track, maybe he can upload this 2 Tracks without SFX ๐Ÿ™‚

He would never do it for professional reasons as he’s not the copyright holder for starters.

I can answer this, some of the expanded’s are just edited into chronological order.

while some of them are edited into chronological order, with some DVD rips to flesh them out more.

others have bootleg material.

and some even include material that is mocked up from the sheet music (basically, using a synthetic orchestra program to re-record certain tracks)

all of them include bonus tracks from sources like the prague Silva screen recordings.

Thank you. I’ve listened to a couple of them and I hear the original soundtrack and Silva Screen stuff, and some DVD cuts, but not picked up on any re-recorded synthy stuff yet…

Out of the official re released extended soundtracks I thought they’d have brought some more out this year or long before actually. It’s a shame they didn’t. I do remember them talking of actually losing a lot of the original tapes which is outrageous, and the Moonraker ones being damaged too.

There’s so many myths about Moonraker – lost, damaged. As I understand it, the score was recorded in France and no one has bothered to look there for it yet. It could well still be there.

have seen with my own eyes, damp and ruined reels at Pinewood in their sheds in the 90s. Couldn’t believe it. Actual Barry recordings completely rotten and ruined in cans. No idea why they were there and not a music studios, but yes you’re right it was France the Moonraker stuff was supposed to be at.

KaFaraqGatri
03-05-2013, 06:38 AM
The album has a lot of edits and some re-arranging – for example, Granborough Road is a curious mix of Komodo Dragons and Escalator/Crash which has led people to think the film has tracked music.

dai2m
04-06-2013, 10:23 AM
It’s true that EON films are the Bond canon, but, on terms of music, I always consider Never Say Never Again and Casino Royale (1967) part of the Bond Score Music heritage. In fact, even Jon Burlingame, in his recommended book "The Music Of james Bond" includes both movie soundtracks as part of Bond music.
Casino Royale (1967) has been published pretty complete (‘though in mono), but Never Say Never Again is not complete so far. The Silva CD includes music not heard in the film, and lacks portions of music heard in the film. It’s a real pity people like you doesn’t consider Never say Never Again worthy of your attention. But it’s your choice, and perfectly respectable.

If it’s classic Bond music (i.e. pre-2006 reboot) and it ain’t John Barry, I am not really interested. Barry’s music has a magical sound. NSNA might be a decent score, but it doesn’t interest me at all.


dai2m
04-07-2013, 09:37 AM
Don’t misunderstand me, please. "People like you" means "people who’s able to offer the rest of us some complete/expanded/extended, edited and chronologically ordered Bond scores", which I’m not, to my embarrassment. ๐Ÿ˜‰
Sorry if that’s not what you have understand.
NSNA is certainly a decent score, but a below-par one if compared to any Barry’s score. But it’s more satysfying when listened out of the film, ’cause the movie producers don’t treat it as it deserved, with multiple re-editings and last minute changes.
But it’s true: anything by Barry or Arnold is far better than NSNA (IMHO).

Thank you KaFaraqGatri – outstanding resource. You deserve a medal.

Would you consider a request? The film version of Bond ’77 varies between a couple of its uses and is rather different from the arrangement off the OST. I’m particularly keen to hear a clean version of the theme that runs under the Lotus/helicopter chase (shortly after Jaws manages to escape crashing through the roof of a house). It’s got some great disco strings but it’s hard to hear everything going on musically as there’s a lot of engines/screeching tyres/gunshots etc.

I’d be eternally grateful of you could isolate that short piece.

Here’s hoping.


GreatKenji

I think KaFaraqGatri once remarked he tried to do so, but simply he couldn’t get anything, sadly each segment of the film you mention is full of sfx which cannot be deleted or edited in order to have the music only. Let’s hope someday they release the complete score of The Spy Who Loved Me as well as those of the other classic Bond films.

My understanding from Lukas Kendall’s interviews at the time of the expanded re-issues about 10 years ago (really? that long?), was the tapes for SPY do still exist but that the 24 track tapes would’ve taken too long to re-master in the time they were given for all the re-issues. That’s why they stopped at Live and Let Die, though Golden Gun was considered/attempted even, but the later scores were more complex to remaster. Also, another reason why no SPY expanded re-issue has happened is because Marvin Hamlisch did not want it to occur, preferring the re-recording he did for the OST. With his passing that potential obstacle would be out of the way (sad that it often takes the composer’s death that allow these releases to occur, rather than us getting to congratulate them for it in their lifetime, by being able to hear the actual music clean).

My understanding from Lukas Kendall’s interviews at the… was the tapes for SPY do still exist but that the 24 track tapes would’ve taken too long to re-master in the time they were given for all the re-issues.

No, it was a cost issue – it would have been very expensive to transfer that particular recording.

That’s why they stopped at Live and Let Die, though Golden Gun was considered/attempted even…

I believe work began on LALD and then Kendall realized that TMWTGG had actually been an option, but he didn’t have the budget to do it. Something along those lines. If he had had the choice, we says he would have preferred to do another Barry score but alas it was too late.

but the later scores were more complex to remaster. Also, another reason why no SPY expanded re-issue has happened is because Marvin Hamlisch did not want it to occur, preferring the re-recording he did for the OST. With his passing that potential obstacle would be out of the way (sad that it often takes the composer’s death that allow these releases to occur, rather than us getting to congratulate them for it in their lifetime, by being able to hear the actual music clean).[/QUOTE]

My understanding from Lukas Kendall’s interviews at the time of the expanded re-issues about 10 years ago (really? that long?), was the tapes for SPY do still exist but that the 24 track tapes would’ve taken too long to re-master in the time they were given….

Interesting that it comes down to budgets (notwithstanding Hamlisch’s misgivings – now possibly moot)

Frankly, I’d be happy to spend a few hundred quid ( Ok – realistically a couple of grand all in )on transferring the 24 track masters onto a hard drive out of my own pocket.

Put the tracks into shape in pro-tools at my leisure and mix at a decent studio with a good engineer in a few days. (Another 2 or 3 grand maybe.

CD Master delivered – job done.

Yes, soundtrack albums were a different game back then. A lot of old scores were specially re-recorded, so with Hamlisch’s passing and the host of indie labels doing great releases now, it would be nice to think the entire Bond could be revisited and expanded. Some of the old scores are in need of remastering and expansions. I cannot believe no one at EON is interested. It’s so disappointing.

THE Tracks NOT Taken

Yeah, yeah, yeah—where’s Moonraker, and so on. If five of the Bond soundtracks could be done properly, why not all the others? The answer: time and money, and in some cases, lack of master elements. Master tapes to the first three films—Dr. No, From Russia With Love and Goldfinger—are not at EMI’s Abbey Road vaults in London, where most of the expanded Bond material was kept. (The four additional cuts on the Goldfinger CD come from the British LP master.) I would presume they are lost. Moonraker is missing because it was recorded in Paris—maybe the tapes are still in France. A View to a Kill was recorded in London, but the tapes are not at Abbey Road for whatever reason. For Your Eyes Only and The Living Daylights were already expanded for the Rykodisc CDs. This leaves three titles that theoretically could have been expanded: The Man With the Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me and Octopussy. For Octopussy, there may be tapes of extra music at MGM in Los Angeles, but there was not time to evaluate them. There are 24-track tapes of The Spy Who Loved Me atAbbey Road, but I don’t know if these are for the film soundtrack or the LP re-recording; furthermore, 24-track mixes are very time-consuming and expensive. So we end up with only one title that missed narrowly: The Man With the Golden Gun. Originally, EMI was going to try to remix and expand both Live and Let Die and Golden Gun from the 16-track tapes. As the transfers were being done at Abbey Road, I was informed that the process was becoming far too expensive and time-consuming, so Golden Gun would not be done. Had I known we could only do one of the early Moores, I would have suggested the Barry score rather than the George Martin one—but I didn’t, so we couldn’t. The only other thing that fell by the wayside due to a lack of time and money was the tank chase from GoldenEye (the Bond theme arranged by John Altman), which was recorded on fancy modern digital tape that required expensive equipment to transfer. So that’s the true story. —L.K.

Damn we need a Complete Score from TSWLM and LTK

I think KaFaraqGatri once remarked he tried to do so, but simply he couldn’t get anything, sadly each segment of the film you mention is full of sfx which cannot be deleted or edited in order to have the music only. Let’s hope someday they release the complete score of The Spy Who Loved Me as well as those of the other classic Bond films.

Late to the party on this, but:

What trick did he apply to the piece of "Bond 77" that occurs underwater? He got that piece out perfectly clean, and it too had LOUD SFX of the submarine/Lotus hitting the bad guys.

I would really like to see his best take at the 2 missing pieces: The Ski Chase (which should include the pause and the Union Jack…what good is the Union Jack by itself?) and the Motorcycle/Car/Helicopter chase. LOVE the music behind the motorcycle sidecar missile launch!

Even if not perfect. The version I made myself has very intrusive SFX, as I have limited skills.

I really liked Skyfall also. While I did actually expect to like the film, what really surprised me was how much I liked the score. Since I am a REALLY big fan of Arnold’s scores for CR and QoS, I was expecting to be let down. Needless to say I was completely wrong! Casino Royale is still my favorite film (and score) of the three, but Skyfall is still and excellent addition imo.

I surprisingly loved Newman’s score after I finished watching it. I mean I liked it before, but didn’t think it fit a Bond movie till I watched it.

The LALD Blu-ray 5.1 mix uses the never-before-released quadrophonic stereo mix of Live and Let Die.
I???m surprised it wasn???t on the UE DVD as that is when a company called Mi Casa (http://www.modernhometheater.com/virtualtours/micasastudios/) were commissioned to remix the first 9 Bonds from mono to 5.1. I haven???t come across any official information that describes what changes were made for the blu rays, although there have been a few video changes like the brightness correction on LALD???s main title itself.

Just thought I would let people know that the Music and Effects tracks for Dr. No and Goldfinger are available here:

Dr. No: http://www.the007dossier.com/007dossier/file.axd?file=/2013/05/Dr-No-Music-Effects-Track-AC3-1ch-48kHz-DELAY-0ms.AC3

Goldfinger: http://www.the007dossier.com/007dossier/file.axd?file=/2013/05/Goldfinger-Music-Effects-Track-AC3-1ch-48kHz-DELAY-0ms.AC3

It???s very nice of someone to extract those tracks and commentaries from the early Criterions for the sake of preservation.

I ran though the parts of unreleased Goldfinger score and it struck me that there would be couple of clean pieces that could be sourced from this with little to no tweaking.

There???s ???The best place in town??? cue (about 30 secs) which has a very sexy saxophone and ends with a cheeky 4 honks! I didn???t make the connection until I played just this part separately.
-Did you use some music from a different part for the movie, KFG? as it sounds much more romantic, perhaps the end titles?

There???s also a cue at the end of the golf game when Bond plants the tracker (about 53 secs). Although it has tweeting birds throughout so I don???t know what peoples thresholds are with SFX. Same with a cue later on at the stud farm which has a lot of horse background foley. It is a nice slow waltz version of the main title (about 75 secs).

The end of the car chase has an exciting cue (about 44 secs) but I???d imagine the gunshots and crash in the middle will make it near impossible.

The other cleaner part is when Oddjob returns from the ???pressing engagement??? (about 70 seconds).

There might be some hope for the presidential music as well (about 40 sec) as the final repeated phase that has the aeroplane sound could be replaced with the previous part.

All in all, there???s about 10 minutes of unreleased music from Goldfinger

There are some errors and some fixes. You won’t find anything official because EON are standing by their releases, sadly.

I’ve spent what seems to be a few hours tracing through all the pieces of music from Dr No using the Criterion music/effects only track. I’ve done it with a few of the films whilst looking through Burlingame’s book and Lucas’s annotations, it’s become quite an interesting exercise in discovering where parts were meant to be used and which of the more significant pieces remain unreleased.

There’s about 15 minutes of orchestral underscore unreleased from Norman’s 2nd recording session (17 cues)- other source music, cues and the Bond theme recording also make up about 15 minutes as heard in the film. It totals to a hotch-potch of 30 minutes of music – not that much compared to the subsequent films

Harkit’s shameless “50th Anniversary” release offers up 3 tracks that could help piece together something more authentic, Bond Arriving Home (although shorter than heard in the film), Tarantula and Dr. No Visits James Bond’s Bedroom. Clearly they did not use the Criterion track as there is a piece that runs for about 1:20 at Dr No’s aquarium and ends with the nod to the stolen painting. Its clean (apart from the hiss) because it’s predominately a dialogue scene.

I would imagine it would be tough to get much else off of this track. One of the longer pieces is Norman’s Interrogation of the Chauffer that actually uses his version of the Bond theme. I think it’s an interesting piece as he seems to use brass for it at a different tempo to Barry’s version. The music fight section seems to jump around a couple of times where the scene had censorship cuts.

There’s also a couple of curiosities with the track, apart from the Bond theme heard when he introduces himself, it is missing when it appears elsewhere in the film, as is Norman’s cue when he returns home. But when Bond is on his way to Miss Taro, the track called Jamaica Jazz (a slow version of Jump Up) is heard as Bond is driving, so it would appear at some point that piece was intended to be used there instead of the Bond theme!

In FLAC? looking forward to it, either way. Will it include the extended version of Auric’s Factory?

I have some suggestions for bonus tracks but I’ll PM you so as not to ruin any potential surprises.

I’ve been scouring the music of Thunderball, cue by cue, both complicated and revealing at the same time. Obviously there were a few more cues than Kendal didn’t let on within the remastered CD, but I would also say that was the case for even more cues than thought on the original LP.
There’s plenty of cases where either the film versions are longer (presumably due to the album versions being trimmed to fit on 1 CD) or the album versions being longer because it contains unused music. Then there’s the alternate versions, some released some unreleased and a couple of parts tracked in.
To hear the film version you would need one playlist and to hear the "composers cut" you would need another, and then maybe a couple of others that resembled a LP and Expanded playlist!

I don’t know about everyone else but I find the differences interesting, no doubt the composers intention is preferable (and it usually contains more incredible music!) but its revealing to have in front of you "final cut" version and to see how it was changed for better or worse.

I was a bit bummed when I realized I mistook it for GoldenEye, but non the less, still rejoiced! XD

Might I add one request in your pursuit to your Goldfinger completion, KaFaraqGatri?
I was wondering if you can produce the longer version of the track called "Oddjob Throws Hat", it’s the same one they used in the scene in Fort Knox vault when Bond acquired Oddjob’s hat and used it to try taking Oddjob down. But this cue’s duration lasted longer (10.6 seconds elapsed time to be exact) and that version is much more impactful.
If if it’s not possible.., well, I won’t regret that I didn’t got the second chance to make such request. ๐Ÿ˜‰

In a way, I wish it was GoldenEye. As much as I love John Barry’s work (let’s face it, he was the best of the Bond composers and knew exactly how to deliver), I think I would be much more ecstatic if Eric Serra’s score was to get an expanded release than Goldfinger. I feel we were already blessed with the remastered edition from 2003.

I’m a newbie on this forum and a major Bond fan and I’d like to say thanks to KaFaraqGatri for uploading these wonderful scores.

By the way, I’ve been trying to download Skyfall, but all I’m getting is a blocked site. Does anyone know if I could download it from anywhere else.

Thanks

Could you perhaps add dates to the individual score whenever you make changes to/upload them? Tough to keep up with all the progress here and though i once downloaded everything, I doubt it is still up to date.

On another note, do you guys know if there is a link to the expanded score of Octopussy? The one in this thread links to the standard CD soundtrack, but I’ve seen tracks online which have been recreated from the score such as ‘Acrostar/Fill Her Up Please’, ‘Welcome To Delhi’ and ‘Checkpoint Charlie’ etc. I’d love to get hold of WAVs or MP3s of these if possible.

Also, do you know if anyone has ever tried recreating some of the missing cues from the A View To A Kill soundtrack? I think that’s the only Barry Bond soundtrack which no-one has attempted.

Many thanks to anyone who can help.

For the skyfall soundtrack, does anyone have the track where Bond captures Silva?

Here’s a link to the audio of that Silva’s Capture video before it was taken down. It was pretty well done IMO.
Skyfall Complete Score-Silva’s Capture.mp3 (http://www43.zippyshare.com/v/67551244/file.html)

There’s a new version of Jon Burlingame’s book coming out with a Skyfall chapter- so many interesting insights- I highly recommend.

I covered Dr No and Goldfinger a few pages back, and I’ve started to look through FRWL and Thunderball.
Some of the longer unreleased tracks in From Russia With Love are the film version of Spectre Island and Lelia Dances – also the film version. This was Barry’s original attempt at the belly dance source music. Its nicely performed and sounds a lot more authentic than the album version. Would be great to have this memorable piece of music.

Another interesting piece that went unused is Death of Grant that is actually 3 cues. The 1st cue stops at 1 minute, that is used at a different part of the film. The 2nd cue is 23 seconds would have played as Grant was opening the briefcase. Its fun to play it against the DVD and see how Barry builds the tension – as soon as he says "put your hands back in your pockets" at the 1:32:07 mark. The start of the fight is then unscored until 1:34:01 when the 3rd cue (the remainder of the track) for 38 seconds kicks in…as the garrote goes around Bond’s neck and he scrambles for the knife and theres a nice "hit" as the knife goes in.

Check out this where ‘composer’ cuts that went unused are matched up:
Thunderball – The Execution of Count Lippe (original music added; OST) – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzxX2Sfgsdk)
Thunderball – Finale & End Title (original music inserted;OST) – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVwRDtEEEes)
Thunderball – The Landing of the Vulcan Bomber (original music added; OST) – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lBIARvgAbs)
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service – Bobsled Chase (complete music;OST) – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fi0NingIKtA)
You Only Live Twice – Car Chase (A Drop in the Ocean) original music added; OST – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTg1EqMMKpQ)
Diamonds Are Forever – Bond Smells a Rat (complete music; OST) – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1kqpFqgyyo)
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service – Journey to Draco’s Hideaway (complete music; OST) – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOPF93c16MA)
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service – Ski Chase (music completed; OST) – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIkwS664Qzw)

I’m sure many members out there have them downloaded but I can’t believe they wouldn’t share them. I’ve been a Bond fan all of my life thanks to my Dad who recently passed away. I’ve found myself watching the movies every night to cope. Unfortunately I have a long commute to and from work and I find my mind starts to wander to my father if I don’t keep it busy. I have all the soundtracks but I’m getting bored with them. I’d greatly appreciate it if someone who has all the extended albums would be willing to help me out in getting them.

Cheers fella.

Hey guys, I didn’t know where else to post this, but last night i got really bored and I ended up making a pretty much complete score for Skyfall. I’ve managed to locate other tracks that weren’t officially released, etc.

I’ve renamed some of the tracks, too. The only two tracks that have SFX are ‘It’s Called Radio!’ and ‘With Pleasure!’, I will try to upload it, but my internet is being really temperamental at the moment.


That’s a pretty sweet playlist.

Are you able to zippyshare your versions of these 4 tracks?

12 Depleted Uranium Bullets 1:38
25 It’s called radio! 0:50
49 International Trailer Music 2:29
50 Domestic Trailer Music 2:30

I believe KFG’s latest release had a SFX free version of With Pleasure/End Credits.
I’m sure most of us could source the Charles Trenet & Animals tracks easily enough and then we’ll all be able to have a 51 track version!

Omg, so true… And it’s "Coming soon"!!! Gentlemen, set your stopwatch. Let’s see how long our suspense is going to last before it kill us all. lol

I wonder if I’m in a minority for not minding some of the Goldeneye stuff? Maybe because I heard it in the game long before I listened to the original stuff, so i ended up enjoying it that way first lol.

You’re not alone in this, I’ll even go further as I’m also in the minority of loving Eric Serra’s score of GoldenEye before I even knew the N64 game existed… The way he uses the instruments and even the syncs, it really pile-drives the essence of USSR whenever the scores are played during Bond’s visit to mother Russia, like the Cold War still looms fresh around every crack from that time of that mission.
And those chilling suspense of a composition when time is running out, sounding almost like a steam-powered train slowly but surely speeding up until that timely demise!
Bloody hell, I’m still hoping we could finally get that track from the "self-destruct Tiger helicopter" without the FX from the film. (Forgive me Rafael 00_Agent, but I still appreciate it)
I mean sure it does has it’s flaws and Serra did not stick to conventional/traditional means, but it still reeked with the essence of composition of Bond, James Bond.

Speaking about composition, I have finally concoct an improved version of the "Backseat Driver (BMW Escape)" track, mixing Kaf’s and Rafael 00_Agent versions and willing to upload. But ever since Mediashare’s site’s redesign, I’ve been unable to do so. I just wanted to freely upload without any of the hogwash of signing up/download apps…
Any suggestions?

Yeah you’re right. Apparently there’s a cue where Silva escapes, which didn’t make the FYC; it’s a small cue less than a minute, I think.
After listening to the film version of Chapel Death, I’m glad we got an alternate on the official album; that string section really adds to that piece.

Thank you for Casino Royale! Also, I hate to ask but there were multiple versions of You Know My Name that were released alongside the film; the orchestral one (with Chris Cornell’s vocals) used for both main and end titles, and the (more popular) rock version. Did you include the full orchestral version, and was there an instrumental for YKMN?

KaFaraqGatri
02-10-2015, 11:46 PM
IIRC, the "Pop Mix" was the one used for the film. However, it’s so heavily compressed on CD that the orchestral layers are barely audible. It’s not the precise film version/mix but it’s as close as you can get. The "Main Mix" was the drier single version (or ‘rock version’ as you referred to it). No instrumental that I know of, sadly. I did post a tracklist on page one, and as you can see there are two versions of the title song. I wouldn’t have included the same mix twice ๐Ÿ™‚

DAKoftheOTA
02-10-2015, 11:56 PM

The pop mix was indeed closest to the film mix regarding the orchestral layer, but they are definitely different (i.e. not just due to compression). If I remember well, Arnold has stated the only mix he was involved in was the film version – none of the others.

A couple of years ago, JCH152 uploaded a 5.1 version of the Blu-ray audio, and I took it & mixed it into a 2-channel "standard" audio version. It’s not perfect, but it’s still a much fuller sound & is probably the closest thing available until someone more skilled than me can make a perfect version.

Just download an already converted MP4.
(but don’t share anything from that encode with us)
Encodes use either the lossy DTS core or AAC audio.

Are you trying to edit the audio or just want the movie to watch?
The movie is easy to find in Mp4 720p/1080p.

Remuxed movies (1:1 copy of the movie-only) aren’t normally found in MP4 containers.
You get way more features using the Matroska container (.mkv).

Ripping blurays to Mp4 will take anywhere from 6-36 hours.
Depending on your system specs, how you pass the video to the encoder, and then the encoding settings itself.

———- Post added at 03:14 PM ———- Previous post was at 03:10 PM ———-

I just finished remuxing Quantum of Solace last night to the external.

Casino Royale is the unrated (truly unrated) version.
Not that that changes anything about the opening or closing credits. The content is identical to the edited/Theatrical release.

I also remuxed a few other blurays yesterday.
So after I finish a group of edits, I’ll update my end credits thread (http://forums.ffshrine.org/f92/end-credits-compilation-thread-mega-~sparktank-178821/#post2754728).

The first half of the soundtrack is brilliant. The sampling of the Russian choirs and the dark sounds it has are just perfect for the post-Soviet Union backdrop. It all echoes the past and current state (at the time) of Russia. It has a few weak points sure but "We Share The Same Passions" and the track played at Fallen Monument Park were perfect. Those Russian choir samples get me every time.

That’s a little bit of a broad statement. Serra did use the same synthesizers and some of the same instrument samples but both Leon and The Fifth Element, when taken as whole workss, are vastly different from GoldenEye.

He used the same equipment for Goldeneye and the two movies were less than a year apart. In the early workprint of the Goldeneye they actually used the Leon soundtrack as a temporary score in place of an original score.

I’m sorry you feel that way. To me, the score only enhanced the film. And I had played the game on N64 before I saw the film, and the music was the same. So I was very pleased with Serra’s score

I think I like Serra’s score for the same reason that a lot of people hate it: because it’s so different and "un-Bond." I love when a long-running franchise takes risks and does things differently, and I think Serra pulled it off with GoldenEye. They were trying to revive the franchise after many had assumed it dead (you have to remember that, in 1995, it had been six years since Licence to Kill; that was the biggest hiatus between films by a long shot, at that point), and I like that they tried something different with the score.

I really loved watching Goldeneye in theaters.

Everything was new: Brosnan taking over, Eric Serra taking over (although I had no real idea about music back then), Judi Dench taking over, and new production team (Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli).

I loved every minute of watching it in theaters.
Sean Bean (pronounced "seen bean") teamed up with that foxy minx, Famke Janssen, opposite of sexy heroin, Izabella Scorupco.
Who wouldn’t?

A lot of the Russian choir tracks made me really want to buy the OST after leaving the theater.
Run, Jump, and Shoot was severely overplayed.
The resonating bass throughout "Fatal Weakness" was just pure ecstacy.

Motherofgod, Tina Turner’s opening titles…

…why don’t I have the bluray to this???
I should check to see what’s the best transfer out there.
USA vs EUR vs CEE vs GER vs FRA…

They should "Remastered in 4K" all the bond films… ๐Ÿ™

Goldeneye and Fifth Element were alwys two different beasts, to me.
While Serra will use signature sounds throughout his career, he always manages to create a whole new universe of music.

I don’t quite think I’ve heard the opening titles to Leon ever replicated or recycled (although, to be fair, I only know a fraction of his work).

Messenger: Joan of Arc is definitely a strong contender, too.
So glad there’s an isolated score for it (along with Leon and Fifth Element).

one thing I will say though,

I was disappointed the film version of the tank scene wasn’t in the first OST.
It was later attached to one of the compilation albums.

"A Pleasant Drive in St. Petersburg" is not the same as…

Goldeneye: (Eric Serra)
• 16. Tank Drive Around St. Petersburg (Film Version)* (5:57)
* previously unreleased material
~ Filmtracks: Bond: Back in Action 2 (Compilation) (http://www.filmtracks.com/titles/bond_back2.html)

I remember seeing that CD in stores so often.
I remember loving City of Prague Philharmonic back then, too.

I was too poor back then to get the actual CD.

I still like APDISP though.
I use both versions when playing any sort of race/car gaming.

It was the studio that hoisted Eric Serra onto Goldeneye…. the producers didn???t hear a note of music until the dubbing stage of the film and where horrified hence why the new version of Tank Chase a more traditional version if you will….

There was a David Arnold version of Goldeneye? That I’d be interested in.

The "pleasant drive in St. Petersburg" with the full 007 theme was the only part of the soundtrack (aside from the main title song, which I loved) which was worth a damn, IMO. The silly electronic squelches and synth drums did nothing for me.

I’m hoping the expanded pack will have Trapped In The Tiger for GoldenEye, which unfortunately hasn’t appeared on many bootlegs and was never on the official release. It’s a great little short piece. I get some people didn’t like GoldenEye but it was a nice and dark refresh and reflected the past nicely since the last Bond occurred during the cold war. I only wish I could find more electronic music with Russian choir samples over it.

The Tomorrow Never Dies soundtrack should be really easy to do since the blu ray and DVD remasters have an isolated soundtrack setting on the disc, so I look forward to getting that too.

KaFaraqGatri, IF remastering the soundtrack for Never Say Never Again (because I just noticed the custom art today among the rest of the album art), please don’t let it be that crappy Silva Screen Records version. Also, Spectre8750 recently made a request thread for the rare NSNA LP / CD that was ONLY released in Japan. Apparently a user here by the name of counteragent owns this CD, and it would be great if you could get into contact with him about it.

Not all of them are new, no. The ones that are new are from new sources, which Sparktank is helping me with.
I mainly wanted to ‘rebrand’ the thread and post new links, so some albums are the same as before. But where I felt that older sets were lacking or disappointing, and where I felt I could improve, I posted new versions.

Sean Barry
03-17-2015, 08:15 PM
Thank you very much KaFaraqGatri and everyone else for a great job! I’m a bit curious though regarding Thunderball. The older version posted before contained 46 tracks including for example the music where Fiona takes Bond for a ride, called ‘How Far Do You Go?’. The current posted contains 33 tracks and seem to miss some music like the mentioned track when I compare the tracks lenghts. Is this due to audio quality? I seem to recall something about a computer crash and lost files, KaFaraqGatri?

I’ve been trying to get a hold of gkgyver for a while, ashe said he had master copies of these recreated cues. I have low quality MP3 versions but my intention — with his permission, which I believe he granted — was to slot them into my uploads here. However, I have not heard from him in some time so I don’t know what is happening. If anyone wants them, I can insert the low quality versions I have now (which would mean reupping Octopussy) but I would love to think he can pull through with the originals.

Ahh OK. Totally get the preference to have the higher quality mp3s for quality control purposes. Out of interest, are the versions you have low-rate mp3s?

I know TMWTGG and Moonraker have complete recreated scores and there are a couple of cues for Octopussy doing the rounds. Are there any for From Russia With Love, Goldfinger or A View To A Kill? As a Barry nut and completist, I’d love to get my hands on them if there are! Thank you.

Yeah, but unfortunately:

"Funding for this project was canceled by the project creator on January 21."

TMWTGG is not complete; a handful of smaller cues are missing but nothing major, IIRC. Moonraker is similarly not complete, unless gkgyver did some more. The MP3s I have are 128kbps I think.

Compared to the other 20-something films before the "reboot" (are we calling it that?), I never felt that anyone was as dark as Daniel Craig. I had seen all but I think 2 of them before I saw Casino Rayale (on Black Friday, the week it opened, no less). Diamonds Are Forever and The Living Daylights (or possibly License to Kill, it was one of the Dalton Bonds). And then there’s Never Say Never Again, which I still don’t know if that is a Bond film or not. Either way, never saw it. And still, out of Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig – I think Craig has portrayed him the darkest. But he’s not my favorite. Roger Moore is my favorite. And no matter what, Sean Connery will always be 007 to me

KaFaraqGatri
03-23-2015, 04:49 AM
Never Say Never Again is a Bond film only in that it has the character of James Bond. It’s not an "official" Bond film (as in Eon Productions had no hand in making it, as I am sure you know). I, too, have not seen it yet but keep meaning to check it out.

I love all the actors who have played Bond, even Lazenby. If he had ignored the advice of his agent, I am sure he would have gone on to be much more highly regarded. Moore gets a lot of hate but I love his ability to play humor and I like all of his films (Moonraker is not as bad as people will have you believe).

As for the GoldenEye score – totally with you there, Dak. As much as I adore John Barry, I cannot envisage GoldenEye having an orchestral score. Eric Serra’s music fits the film like a glove, and it too is a film that is one of my favorites in the series. The only thing that could make it better is if Dalton had come back for it (it was written with him in mind, you can totally see it in the script). However, I think the universe may have exploded due to sheer awesomeness if he had returned to play Bond.


Kolpitz

It’s tough for me to pick Moore’s best film. I like Octopussy a lot; I love Moore’s more serious approach to the role as seen in FYEO. The coldness of scenes such as the cold-blooded shooting of Tip Tipping in the train carriage is great, for instance. I also admire his reading of the lines when he is pleading with the military guys to stop the bomb exploding, although the effect is somewhat diluted due to the clown make-up. I am sure kids will love it, though. Live and Let Die is totally different to any other Bond film and quite mature in terms of content; TMWTGG is rather formualic (almost like a holdover from the more comic-book style Connery pictures) but a lot of fun; TSWLM is larger than life but dated by its score; Moonraker is again a more comic-book film but nonetheless enjoyable (one of Barry’s greatest Bond scores); FYEO brings a more grounded approach to the series (bar the silly opening with Blofeld); Octopussy contains the same, more mature approach and a great score by Barry; and AVTAK is an underrated and rather enjoyable romp with a thrilling score and a great villain. Maybe I have sentimental attachment to it from my childhood, but I still enjoy it. In fact, I can find something to enjoy in every one of the 23 films made to date.

Agreed. Dalton is so underrated next to Lazenby (I can await the hate mail I’m going to get for liking Lazenby). In Dalton’s case, he was the closest to the novels and really brought an edge to Bond that I like.

Found it ironic that the late Roger Ebert didn’t liked Dalton (http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-living-daylights-1987), but years later when "Casino Royale" came out, he loved Craig’s interpretation (http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/casino-royale-2007). It just goes to show that Dalton was in the wrong time and in the wrong place, since nowadays, we love our movies to have a dark edge to it.


KaFaraqGatri

Dalton was in the wrong time and in the wrong place, since nowadays, we love our movies to have a dark edge to it.

Precisely right. I agree completely. I agree also with what John Glen stated a couple of years:

"Looking back at the two films that I did with Timothy Dalton, The Living Daylights and Licence to Kill, I find him to be quite similar to the new Bond. He and Daniel are both harder-edged Bonds. I think Timothy was before his time. You look at Licence to Kill now and it keeps up. It’s more in vogue now than when I shot it, I think. I still think it’s one of the best Bonds, certainly the best that I directed."


NCFirebolt21
03-23-2015, 05:48 AM
My Top 5 Bond movies, easily…

1. Skyfall – Didn’t think it’d live up to much after the disaster of a movie QoS, but it went above and beyond. Hoping Spectre is better, considering we’ve got Sam Mendes directing and Newman composing again.
2. Tomorrow Never Dies – it was really nice to see Brosnan playing a character written according to his personality (unlike Goldeneye, which was apparently meant for Dalton)
3. License To Kill – Obviously the better of the two Dalton movies imo. Would’ve loved to see him do more than 2 if there weren’t issues…
4. From Russia With Love – My introduction to Bond movies, and it still is one of the best ever made.
5. The Spy Who Loved Me – Roger Moore and Barbara Bach were great together on-screen.

Goldfinger will always hold a special place in my heart as it’s my first Bond film. I watched it when I was in 7th grade, when my Dad thought I was old enough. AMC dragged it out for 3 hours. What a long night that was…..


Phuzz Phace
03-23-2015, 06:05 AM
Once I realized that no Bond film was perfect, well, that’s when I started enjoying them more. I can find something to like/love in any EON Bond film. There is so much going on in Bond films – the soundtrack (of course! John Barry is my fave), the Production Design (Ken Adam: genius!), poster art (I’m looking at you, Robert McGinnis!), along with the supporting cast, gadgets (props! love ’em!), cars (Aston Martin, Lotus), locations, etc, etc.

My fave go-to Bond films are (and have been for a long while) ‘You Only Live Twice’ and ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’ – I know, essentially the same story, but I dig ’em. My Top 5 fave Bond films off the top of my head would be the two I already mentioned YOLT and TSWLM with the addition of: ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’, ‘Thunderball’, and ‘Live and Let Die’ – with ‘Moonraker’, ‘From Russia with Love’, and ‘Diamonds Are Forever’ battling it out for 6th place.

I am lucky to have seen every Bond film on the big screen from ‘Live and Let Die’ onward – all the way to ‘Skyfall’. Think I set a personal record seeing TSWLM at the theater many, many times in those weekends it played. Ah, the 1970s when the Connery Bond movies were on TV all of the time (thinking ABC) and the Roger Moore films playing at the theater.

The problem I have with ‘License to Kill’ – it is trying for a more serious tone, then all of a sudden, that dumb truck "stunt" – you know, the white semi that Bond takes control of and only he can magically make it do a wheelie (only not really a wheelie since it is a very obvious rig with the chassis hinged. Cringe. Took me out of the film.

Don’t get me wrong, I still like Dalton and LTK. I think the truck stunt would have fit into a Roger Moore era Bond better – but even still, I don’t think it would have faired any better. Now, ‘The Living Daylights’ – that’s my go-to Dalton film.

When you want to watch NSNA (1983) the first time, please watch Thunderball (1965) once more before it and the documentary Everything Or Nothing (EON) of 2012, where there is a good round up of the whole lawsuit, credit rights of the story and the use of Blofeld, Spectre,… It is the same story (Jack Whittingham-Kevin McClory-Ian Fleming), the same executive producer (Kevin McClory), the same James Bond (Sean Connery), but for the rest with different nuances and most important, an all in all top cast.

Sean Connery just IS James Bond and plays the part with so much ease. Kim Basinger and Barbara Carrera are the designated Bond girls, Klaus Maria Brandauer is a good Largo, but not real evil enough, Max von Sydow the monotonuous Blofeld and Edward Fox a wonderful grumpy M. I almost forgot Rowan Atkinson as the clumsy Small-Fawcett. Also remember that in here the part of Felix Leiter is played by a black actor, Bernie Casey, way before Jeffrey Wright in Casino Royale. The partnership of Bond-Leiter is one of the better ones in the series in this movie.

It is a real James Bond movie and also a good Bond movie (way better than AVTAK, MR, DAD for example), but not as good as Thunderball if you want to really compare it. They weren’t able to use the James Bond theme or any other James Bond trademarks like the gunbarrel or the 007-logo. Because I want to link this to the topic of this thread, the only real bad thing about that movie is the score. With all my respect for Michel Legrand in its other work, it is just awful and the theme song sung by Lani Hall just makes me sick.

I just also want to make a remark that I don’t believe GoldenEye was written with Timothy Dalton in mind as 007. At the time there were legal issues to start on Bond 17 concerning the above and where the whole plot at that time was about 007 being involved in China among others. Timothy Dalton dropped out, because he was tired of waiting to start the film and when you sign up for 007, you are entitled to spend almost a complete year on the production (filming and promo obligations) and that he couldn’t engage himself in other things anymore. This also is a topic talked about in the EON-documentary. The story of GoldenEye together with the signing of Martin Campbell was just because he wanted to tell a story around a "new" 007, end of cold war, female M and etc… A bit the same background why he wanted to do the reboot of Casino Royale.

The best Bond film to date for me is OHMSS, closely followed by FRWL, GF and CR. The best score is also OHMSS, which is a real gem in all its parts. Only the awful off key singing of Nina in Do they know how Christmas trees are grown is a real downside. Very strange that even the grandmaster himself John Barry has recorded this with her and that there were no other singers available at the time to record an instant classic Christmas song. Other Bond scores to follow OHMSS are for me all other Barry scores and also George Martin’s LALD. David Arnold started and ended his legacy excellent with TND and CR/QOS, but completely lost it with DAD, together with the stupid childish song by Madonna. Eric Serra’s GE is OK for me, but not that different than his work on L???on or Le Grand Bleu. Too bad Michael Kamen didn’t had the chance to do another one after LTK, which also has a very good orchestral Bond-score. Thomas Newman made also a good Skyfall, but strange that this, together with Adele, had Oscar nominations and John Barry with 007 not when you compare them with all his 007-scores to date.

A last note, thank you KaFaraqGatri (and gkgyver, raybond, scorehunter66, and TheSparktank™ 2.1) for your excellent work on making the expanded versions of the Bond scores. Real cool and top quality! Keep up the good work! ๐Ÿ™‚

and the theme song sung by Lani Hall just makes me sick.

Couldn’t agree with you more. The rejected theme by the late Phyllis Hyman was so much better and it fits Bond so well.

After reading your thoughts, I think I might give NSNA another go and I can understand why Siskel and Ebert gave it a two thumbs up (and not just licking Sean Connery’s boots for the sake of it, since it seems from all their other reviews that they’re huge fans of Connery). Plus, it has Irvin Kershner directing the film, so that’s a plus. It’s nice to see a positive review, as all the reviews I’ve seen on YouTube were pretty mixed on the film (I hope for an Oliver Harper’s Retrospective review for NSNA, but I wouldn’t hold my breath).

If I were to pick a favorite from the movie, it would have to be Connery, Barbara Carrera, the health spa fight and the tango sequence.

I agree on NSNA. That one, OHMSS, FYEO, TLD and Casino Royale from 1967, which I feel is getting a lot of undeserved bad rep, are the only films with the Bond character that I still enjoy.

I know many won’t agree with me, but to me it’s important to be able to both appreciate the fun and the more serious aspects of life. If not to get through rough times.
Casino Royal (1967) is a time capsule of course, but I love the diversity and imagination of Burt Bacharach’s score that’s even more obvious to me in the complete version from Quartet Records imho.
I also love how the film makes fun of overblown authority figures who take themselves far too seriously. It’s a comedy and I think it’s wrong and ridiculous that many still are comparing it on the same terms as the more serious official Bonds. I mean come on, it’s supposed to be a parody, a send up. Not a serious spy movie. But that’s only my opinon of course ๐Ÿ™‚

I agree that Legrand’s score to NSNA is head ache inducing, but I have no problem with the title song sung by Lani Hall. Sure it’s a bit 80’s cheezy, but it’s still got more energy than Adele’s ‘Skyfall’ that only makes me yearn for Shirley Bassey to liven things up and save from depression.
I like NSNA as a film because it’s the only film where Sean Connery seems to be truly enjoying himself and relaxed as Bond. There are even accurate observations on health diets, spas and the very real cutbacks in early 80’s Britain. It’s also refreshing for me to see a Bond who treats women with deserved respect and more on equal terms. A more mature modern Bond compeared to earlier efforts if you will.

I never liked Arnolds scores though. Too much empty grand gestures and too little substance for me. I miss Barry’s ability to bulid tension with really subtle motives and melodies and slow hypnotic beats. I think that’s what made Barry’s scores stand the test of time and that’s why they’re still be relevant for so many people that weren’t even born when they were createed.

I’m sure many won’t appreciate this but I think it was a mistake to reboot the series. LTK would have made a perfect ending to the series for me. The last Bond film that distinguished the Bond character from other action heroes and even anti-heroes. But maybe it’s just me who have changed. I watched the films to death as a child and there’s no excitment left when you know excatly what’s going to happen.

It’s good to have people like KaFaraq, SparkTank et al to make all good music available though. Each one can pick their favourites and that’s worth a lot ๐Ÿ™‚

A Bond related side note: I remember seeing a video cover for a film where the hero was "a mix of Indiana Jones and Jamed Bond". It was in the 1980’s and it should be an 80’s movie.
At the cover he’s seen with his partner, a big monkey. Both are wearing tuxedos and aiming guns at the viewer. I never got a chance to see the film and haven’t been able to find it. Anyone know the name of the film? My guess it’s some kind of turkey and/or a parody…

Have you seen If Looks Could Kill? Perfect little slice of late 80’s (made in 91 but might as well be late 80s) cinematic cheese and I think a must watch for Bond fans who are willing to not take 007 too seriously.

Not really spoilery. Read the Octopussy short story. You’ll see a familiar surname.

KFG, thanks so much for your hard work. We continue to appreciate it.
Might I suggest that you reup your old work while we wait for the new?

Also, just on this, since you mention it:

VBR gives better quality than 320kbps
This is not correct, VBR’s advantage is filesize, not quality. There is overall less bitrate, so scientifically speaking the quality is lower, but the real point is: Lower filesize while trying to have an unnoticeable drop in quality over a fixed bitrate, for example, V0 VBR over 320 kbps will give a smaller filesize while sounding near-identical.
Since you’ll have a zillion downloads, VBR is probably the way to go as you say ๐Ÿ˜‰

Thanks again. As a fan, I guess I have one more annoying question- I did want to ask about Octopussy. There seems to be a lot of missing music- will that be revisited? I might upload some cues if I ever work on any, with your permission.

While we wait on more expanded Bond music, let’s take time to discuss some films/scores/etc. from the series.

I think everyone here knows that Christopher Lee passed away today at 93. He’s perhaps known to Bond fans as Scaramanga from "The Man with the Golden Gun". While it’s not my favorite film of the Bond series, Christopher Lee really steals the show (even more so than Moore. Moore’s Bond needs to wait until TSwLM to show show the best he has to offer there, which is funny since Moore was so amazing in "The Saint"). You feel bad for Maud Adams’ character, because she’s just so tragic, more than the Bond Girl Goodnight (she’s bland IMO). It’s also uncomfortable watching Roger Moore’s Bond hitting her, since it doesn’t fit Moore’s Bond to do that (I guess it was the director’s decision to say "hey Moore, be more like Connery", when the two men are pretty different, in terms of interpretation). The tone of the movie is pretty camp at best (it was the ’70s after all), but the best stunt has to be when Bond is driving through the bridge and makes a leap of faith sorta speak. (was the slide-whistle sound effect really necessary?)

As for the soundtrack, this has to be John Barry’s moodiest score to date (though sadly, a lot of the music that’s on the film, isn’t on the soundtrack. You need to make a nice clean blu-ray audio rip or have the score reconstructed for that). One thing I don’t like is the Lulu song (the end credits theme however, I like that better). The abandoned Alice Cooper song is a lot better.


TripleMMM
06-13-2015, 04:43 PM
I’m not really sure if I made about this before, but I see you made some changes with the track listings as some mergers you made with some of the tracks (I’d rather like the Gunbarrel Theme’s stays on it’s own unless it been scored otherwise). But also separated others (example are track 2. Beach Rescue and track 3. This Never Happened To The Other Fella), those give me incentive to re-download! ๐Ÿ™‚

As for Christopher Lee’s passing, that was a shock to me. The Only True Man With The Golden Gun, that legacy will be passed down in the history of Hollywood assassins. May he rest in peace, gone but not forgotten. I will say that the whistle affect in that scene might be a tad over the top, but as you said, suteki_da_ne0087, it was the 70’s campy version of Bond. ๐Ÿ˜‰


Sean Barry
06-13-2015, 08:14 PM
Christopher Lee may be dead but his spirit lives on!

I agree on Lee’s portrayal of Scaramanga. TMWTGG wouldn’t have worked without it.

I also like Lulu’s singing. A powerful, edgy performance that captures the danger of the title character. The melody and harmonies are simple yet sophisticated which become apparent when used as instrumental themes on the soundtrack imho. Great song. I can see why it was chosen to be the title theme ๐Ÿ™‚

Bond fans, what’s your favorite rejected Bond songs? For me it’s these:

Shirley Bassey – No Good About Goodbye (rejected from "Quantum of Solace")

Eva Almer – Forever (I Am All Yours) (rejected from "Quantum of Solace")

Alice Cooper – The Man with the Golden Gun (rejected from "The Man with the Golden Gun")

Blondie – For Your Eyes Only (rejected from "For Your Eyes Only", though I love Sheena Easton’s song as well)

Dionne Warwick – Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (rejected from "Thunderball". I prefer Dionne’s voice, though Shirley’s isn’t bad either)

k.d. lang – Surrender (rejected from "Tomorrow Never Dies" and got shifted to the end credits.) This song is so superior to the Sheryl Crow song that was chosen. Nothing against Sheryl Crow, since I love her as well, but k.d. lang’s voice really fits Bond and didn’t deserve to be shifted to the end credits, IMO. Plus, you can hear a lot of the song being played as the underscore throughout the soundtrack a la "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" in "Thunderball".

Out of the one’s mentioned above, my vote goes to Ava Almer’s Forever. However there was another spec song written for Quantum of Solace that was performed by Jo Harrop, which in my opinion is probably the best song never used for a Bond film. Here is the link to that song; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSgGo2xfwb4
Even if you’re not a fan of the song, you would have to agree it’s a million times better than Alicia Keys’ horrid Another Way To Die.

Another favourite of mine is Ace of Base’s effort for Goldeneye, that was eventually released as The Juvenille. I’m not a fan of their’s but for some reason that song works better than Tina Turner’s cliched effort.

Another favourite of mine is one written by a band called Straw (never heard of them) for The World Is Not Enough which was sadly rejected. Here’s the link

The Pretenders – If There Was A Man (rejected from ‘The Living Daylights’. Used as underscore in the track Into Vienna and for the end credits)

Swan Lee – Tomorrow Never Dies

Straw – The World Is Not Enough

Red Flag – Beyond The Ice (very sadly rejected from ‘Die Another Day’)

Eva Almer – Forever (I Am All Yours) (rejected from ‘Quantum of Solace’)

Alice Cooper – Man with the Golden Gun

Blondie – For Your Eyes Only

Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (rejected from "Thunderball". I like both Dionne Warwicks’ version and Shirley Bassey’s version)

k.d. lang – Surrender (rejected from "Tomorrow Never Dies". Played during the end credits.)

For me, the best rejected song by far is "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" — so much so that I barely even think of it as rejected. But if "No Good About Goodbye" counts, then that one is a close second.

I also have to admit that I love the Johnny Cash version of "Thunderball." It would have been very badly out of place in a Bond movie; but on its own, I dig it.

Good one!
My favourite rejects (in no particular order):

Julie Rogers – You Only Live Twice (listed as "Demo Version" on the 1992 compilation ‘The Best of James Bond’)

Phyllis Hyman – Never Say Never Again

Pet Shop Boys – This Must Be The Place I Waited Years To Leave (rewrite of ‘James Bond 02’ rejected from ‘The Living Daylights’)

The Pretenders – If There Was A Man (rejected from ‘The Living Daylights’. Used as underscore in the track Into Vienna and for the end credits)

Swan Lee – Tomorrow Never Dies

Straw – The World Is Not Enough

Red Flag – Beyond The Ice (very sadly rejected from ‘Die Another Day’)

Eva Almer – Forever (I Am All Yours) (rejected from ‘Quantum of Solace’)

Alice Cooper – Man with the Golden Gun

Blondie – For Your Eyes Only

Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (rejected from "Thunderball". I like both Dionne Warwicks’ version and Shirley Bassey’s version)

k.d. lang – Surrender (rejected from "Tomorrow Never Dies". Played during the end credits.)

Good choices. Blondie’s version of For Your Eyes Only is memorable and it’s a shame it was ditched for Sheena Easton’s song.

The soundtrack to The Living Daylights is probably my favourite Bond soundtrack, and the Pet Shop Boys’ This Must Be The Place…. is certainly one of my favourite rejected Bond songs. The lyrics were re-written before the song was first released in 1991, but combine the phenomenal music with lyrics associated with Bond and The Living Daylights, it would have certainly have been a cold and cynical song that would have been tailor made for Dalton’s Bond. On YouTube there is a video with the original demo, with no lyrics, that the Pet Shop Boys sent to the producers and it’s a major shame they were turned down. The harder edge feel, the coldness could only work with Dalton’s Bond.

Anyhow here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAqmN8Gd39E

As for The Pretenders song. It does work, but not for the main title song, and I was glad it was used at the end of the film. Dalton’s Bond was a dark, intense and cynical character. But he was also a character with real feelings and a longing for a romance, and this song perfectly captures Kara’s view point of Bond.

The same goes for Eva Almer’s effort for Quantum of Solace for me if you stick that the end credits, and use Jo Harrop’s effort over the main credits, it would have worked. Harrop’s song is a brilliant romantic but cynical song that really talks about Bond’s current state of mind. An old school Bond song that reminds me of the main title music of From Russia With Love.

In regards to Bassey’s effort? Although it’s far better than Alicia Keys and Jack Black, I really do not see it in conjunction with Craig’s Bond, and I for one feel that Bassey’s Bond songs should be left in the past.

No Good About Goodbye was never a rejected song, Arnold just reused a motif from the QoS score because he liked it. This has been covered extensively before, but particularly in Jon Burlingame’s excellent book.

As far as I know, Beyond The Ice was never rejected, either, since it was never in the running to begin with.

Apparently ‘This must be the place…’ was released 1990 according to Pet Shop Boys’ own web site: Pet Shop Boys Official Online Store – Music, CDs, DVD, Downloads, T-Shirts, Hoodies, Posters, Accessories and more.

Actually, as it states in that article Red Flag submitted their song for consideration. The producers never bother looking at such submissions (ie: songs, scripts, etc) and return then unopened/unplayed/etc.

When a song is needed the producers approach an artist of their choosing to make a submission.

I enjoyed it. (I may be biased as I’m a Jack White fan) But, I thought the song went well with the opening credits and it’s one of my favorite opening credits. Of course, Skyfall’s was awesome and Goldeneye’s as well. But worst of all time? Definitely Madonna’s Die Another Day and Lulu’s Man with the Golden Gun.

———- Post added at 10:11 AM ———- Previous post was at 10:10 AM ———-

As a whole though, I felt that the entire movie was just too short. Should’ve been longer like Casino Royale and Skyfall. And I much preferred Jack White and Alicia Keys’ "Die Another Day" over Chris Cornell’s "You Know My Name". That one to me is the least Bond-y of the new series.

Sorry, but I strongly disagree with your thoughts on Another Way To Die. That song is dire, and its most probably my worst Bond song to date. Jack White may have been great during the White Stripes era. But Alicia Keys? Forget it that woman sounds like she’s ‘strangling a cat’ I sometimes wonder whether a cat was present during the recording of that song since the piano solo is so flat that it could’ve only been performed by a cat (albeit a bored cat) And the credit sequence, forget it atrocious.

Quantum of Solace is my tenth worst Bond, because it is such a disapointment and a let down after the high mark left by Casino Royale. Thankfully Skyfall restored some gravitas. Totally agree with you in regards to Die Another Day Worst. Bond. Film. Ever.

Out of interest, what is different on the Diamonds Are Forever link compared to the Extended Release, other than the order. Anyone know?

Seriously, nobody knows the answer to this question? I would love to know if these are all different, or if it’s just the order of play in this case?

FYI

The official 007 accounts have confirmed that the full trailer for SPECTRE will be revealed to the world on Wednesday 22nd July at 8am UK time.

??? Midnight ??? Los Angeles

??? 3am ??? New York

I know there is a track on the expanded release that consists of a bunch of short cues which have been stitched together. So one of the differences is almost certainly that those individual cues have been separated and placed into the proper order.

Beyond that, I have no earthly idea.

Any ideas who’s done it? I doubt it’s Thomas Newman as it doesn’t sound like this style…I know in the past they’ve specially commissioned producers/composers to work on the trailer music (Parodi Fair, Pfeifer Brothers etc)

Also – CANNOT WAIT to hear the expanded score to AVTAK. Thanks to all concerned for making it happen ๐Ÿ™‚

As I understand AVTAK is the next in line (can’t wait for that one) Childhood memories (and nightmares of May Day). I was looking a long time for this kinda stuff. The original soundtracks are really a joke, especially LTK (Can’t wait to hear that one expanded). Please continue withall the hard work, it’s really appriciated.

I’m also looking for the radio editof Eric Serra’s The experience of love, can anyone help me out with that one? It’s not that i like the song that much, but the original version is way too long.

The Laserdisc isolated score track is edited, with the start, end, and even the middle of some cues cut or faded out entirely. Some of them end abruptly due to editorial decisions made for the final mix (for example, Bond to New York cuts off as soon as the plane comes on screen). In other words, it’s a ‘film mix’ rather than a ‘complete score’. The 2003 CD release is a much better representation of the music, and even includes unused pieces that never made it into the film (and thus are not present on the isolated score track at all).

Thanks for Writing’s On The Wall. As for the song I quite like it. It’s different, moody, melancholic. I can just imagine the title sequence to go with it (lots of dark blues and blacks), but am wondering how they’ll edit it to make it fit, time-wise.

For me, not every Bond theme needs to be bombastic and Bassey-esque. For every Goldfinger, there needs to be a From Russia With Love, for every You Know My Name, there should be a Writing’s On The Wall. IMHO.

It also sounds like a song that could be woven into a score – please note Thomas Newman.

The film mix will be, as far as I can make out, like Skyfall – a mix of the radio edit and the album version. The radio edit is cleverly curtailed in a couple of spots. It will be interesting to hear it come release time. This is definitely a throwback in style to something more melancholy, like You Only Live Twice.

I’m long time Bond Fan but I could never embrace the Craig films… I also hated the second half of Die Another Day so that doesn’t mean what was done before Craig was always perfect (far from it). For example one of the true assets of Casino Royale is the title song ‘You Know My Name’ a truly fantastic Bond Rock song.
SkyFall also had a lot of merits as a Bond song…

Listening to this I can only say that I didn’t know it was possible to have a Bond song worse than ‘Another Way to Die’…
It is truly horrible to me as a Bond song and even as a stand alone song there isn’t much to it.
I cannot believe they have greenlighted this to go along a movie that is expected to get a Billion Dollars in revenue…

It was funny on Comic Relief when they did the sketch about Daniel Craig having a little girl’s voice. It’s NOT funny when they do the same gag on the title song! WTF were they thinking? I have high hopes for "Spectre" to be a great Bond movie but my confidence is a little rattled if the producers and director chose this feeble attempt as the best option for the title theme. What other questionable choices have been made? I’m still 90% confident, but that’s down a fair bit from where I was before hearing this song!

IMO it’s not a matter of being a more mellow song rather than the big bombastic style usually associated with Bond; "Nobody Does It Better" is usually ranked as one of the very best Bond themes ever and that is very gentle. But "Nobody Does It Better" has a strong vocal performance to hang the gentle song on, plus it was the work of a top composer and a top lyricist, and unfortunately "Writing’s on the Wall" has none of that. It sounds like nothing more than a decent amateur performance of a rather bland song.

News stories recently were reporting that Daniel Craig was pushing for Adele to be brought back; I bet it was after he heard this song!

The movie will no doubt feature a cutdown version of the song so I won’t have to suffer the full version ever again, and a dazzling titles sequence should distract significantly from the song anyway. It will do it’s job in as far as it will be popular for five minutes and get the movie some publicity, but it does pain me to say that IMO the new Bond song is destined to join entries like "Another Way to Die" and "Moonraker" at the bottom of all future "best 007 song" polls.

I went to read the threads on the MI6 forum…

Discarding the personal hate attacks on Sam Smith (REALLY not the point since we’re talking about a song, some people should get a life), a lot of the posters recommended multiple listens and that’s what I did. Also a lot of them said the instrumental is spectacular for Main Titles.

So I listened a few times and…. I still find the song horrible, disjointed and not building to anything. The Falsetto is beyond words : nothing like Bond… not even good in the song by itself.

The instrumental is Bondian no doubt but could not feature as Main Titles anyway… On a romantic scene yes I agree… Main Titles of a Bond movie : are you kidding ?

Again the movie is expected to make a billion Dollars : what were they thinking about…

My first impressions of the song: I have to agree with everyone else, the background instrumental is strong gut they should have found a better artist. There is just something about his voice that just doesn’t gel well with what they were trying to do. I will have to give it a few more times before I pass final judgement but for right now, I am just not feeling it.

What are everyone’s thoughts on the song? It really has had a lot of backlash from Bond fans, it seems.

I think the song itself has great potential, and I don’t really have any issue with Sam Smith’s vocals… until he goes full-on falsetto during the chorus. It doesn’t help that those parts are also nearly acappella, they really take me out of the moment. The lyrics are probably the biggest stumbling block, though. Smith claims that he wrote them from Bond’s point of view, but I’m not getting that at all. He also claims that he wrote this in 20 minutes, and that I DO believe.

Overall, I think it’s a good effort, with a few aspects that could easily be adjusted/corrected in a live performance or remix.

I’ve listen WOTW a few times in a row and for me it’s a good song, it grows on me, but it’s definitly not a Skyfall. But for all we know, we may be suprised with how it fits in Spectre. I know it’s not a very populair opinion, but i do think that Madonna’s DAD worked in the titelsequence so i will hold my breath for another month. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I don’t know how different the actual instrumental sounds like, but until it’s uploaded you could "suss" it out by putting the song into Audacity or GoldWave and have the vocals reduced. Not always a perfect vocal elimination, but one can get a fair idea of how the instrumentation sounds like.

Agreed.

I’ve been listening to the song quite a lot and it grew on me (then again, I like Sam Smith’s music since his "In The Lonely Hour" album). It’s really good and can’t wait to see how it fits in Spectre’s opening titles.

Thanks for the upload. I didn’t think it possible, but I found WOTW even more boring and bland than ‘Skyfall’. I’ve disliked the path the Bond series have been taking both musically and filmwise since ‘Licence To Kill’ and this was the last nail in the coffin IMHO. I think WOTW would work better as an instrumental though, as written before.

Thank you KaFaraqGatri your work on these Bond scores is very much appreciated. TMWTGG and LTK are nuch better than the official releases. WOTW has grown on me, I hear echoes of Skyfall, TWINE and the jazzy chords of the late great JB. Wonder if it would be better without the countertenor voice though

I’m not generally a huge fan of Sam Smith, but I do think he is well suited to soulful melancholy. Listen to his single from last year, "I’m Not The Only One" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_-U6dcTEOg) and you’ll see what I mean. Unfortunately, this song is too quasi-operatic for his voice; someone like Adele would have handled the same song with more finesse. Lyrically I don’t really care; Bond songs have never been known for their poeticism, so for there to be no change here is no big deal really. But I do think these lyrics are rather more vacuous than some of the previous songs.

When Sam Smith was announced, I hoped for something a little more like "I’m Not The Only One", because as I say he does that sort of thing well. The backing track of "WOTW" is magnificent, though. There are elements of John Barry’s late period but also a pleasant touch of Michael Kamen. Pity about that ending though; it’s got no fun, no brass. Just Smith’s yodel and that’s it. Oh well, hopefully the film’s better than the song! And as JorjickThis notes, the song may well work better in context.

While we’re on the topic of Bond title songs, which Bond title songs is everyone’s favorite? Here’s mines (not in any order) :

Goldfinger – Shirley Bassey

Nobody Does It Better – Carly Simon

For Your Eyes Only – Sheena Easton (also, props for her being the only singer to be on the screen singing the title song)

Moonraker – Shirley Bassey

A View to a Kill – Duran Duran

The Living Daylights – a-ha

Licence To Kill – Gladys Knight

GoldenEye – Tina Turner

You Know My Name – Chris Cornell

Skyfall – Adele

Thunderball – Tom Jones

Live and Let Die – Paul McCartney & Wings

Diamonds Are Forever – Shirley Bassey

You Only Live Twice – Nancy Sinatra

If we’re going for instrumental, I love the title themes for On Her Majesty’s Secret Service and From Russia with Love.

Bond fans, what’s your favorite rejected Bond songs? For me it’s these:

k.d. lang – Surrender (rejected from "Tomorrow Never Dies" and got shifted to the end credits.) This song is so superior to the Sheryl Crow song that was chosen. Nothing against Sheryl Crow, since I love her as well, but k.d. lang’s voice really fits Bond and didn’t deserve to be shifted to the end credits, IMO.

Dang it, chap! You picked one that was in my mind (and the only one). Like you said, Surrender should’ve been the opening theme for Tomorrow Never Dies, fits perfectly!

Now for my favourite title songs, this shall be a list (in no particular order)…
1. Gunbarrel and Main Titles (James Bond Theme part), by Monty Norman. You can’t go wrong with that. XD

2. Goldfinger by Shirley Bassey, this was actually my first Bond title song exposure to the franchise!

3. You Only Live Twice by Nancy Sinatra, back when I was little lad, being high on octane energy, slow and soothing musics never impressed me. But somehow this was one of the first few that captivated me to take things slow and saver the moment…

4. Live and Let Die by Paul McCartney & Wings, I love how it starts rather slowly tainted and moments after the bombastic BANG! BANGS! hits you following a feverish composition and to top it off, adding a melodramatic sway right in the middle. If that told me that this is how the 70’s felt like, I’d want to join in that snazzy! X’D

5. The Man With the Golden Gun by Lulu. To me, this song made me envisioned at my young age that anything was on the table, don’t care how outlandish it can be! lol

6. Nobody Does it Better by Carly Simons, I can’t tell you how many times I listened to this song the double entendre literately shot over my head when I was a young lad, that is until I was old enough to understand it’s true meaning, it made me embarrassed that I sang it a bunch of times before and at first, but soon afterwards made me understand and look at things from the opposite gender.
Hey KaFaraqGatri, I was wondering if we shall ever have the same full version that was performed "In Memory of Desmond Llewelyn "Q"?

7. A View to a Kill by Duran Duran, just for the composition alone, it’s stark, stylish, driven, sexy, eat your heart out! And the "dance into the fire" lyric/part was like a cherry on top! DANGER!!!

8. The Living Daylights by a-ha, seriously, another one of those composition that felt like you were doing something something under the sheets, want to share with others close to me, but don’t want to get caught in the process. And hearing "living daylights" in the song felt like it could be a scary situation! X’D

9. Licence to Kill by Gladys Knight, makes me feel like I just want to stay in the dark and keep it (anything really) to myself. Uhn!

10. GoldenEye by Tina Turner, in one word; seductive! Another by it’s composition alone makes me feel I was falling in lust of something, just lurking in wait or have it pass by and yet be swayed to honing it, following afterwards. Deep in thoughts that I know it’s something I shouldn’t do, nonetheless makes me want to seek it even more. (I feel so weak)
(Hey, KaFaraqGatri. Apologies for being intrude, but even though you gave us the orchestral version of GoldenEye (which you titled "GoldenEye (Instrumental)"), is there any possible way you can recreate the original instrumental version of it (in it’s original synthesizer glory)? I’d be much oozing in satisfaction (okay, that sounded dirty, sorry)).

11. The World is Not Enough by Garbage, you have to feel this in a woman’s perspective to indulge this song (the antagonist, Elektra, if you will). Kinda makes you feel empowering in a sinister kind, like picture yourself walking down the streets in crowded pedestrians, knocking them down with yet a simple touch and even walking over them without a care in the world as in a cold-hearten b****. (Seems like I do have battle with my dark side) -_-‘

12.You Know My Name by Chris Cornell, with this song, composition, lyrics and all together… makes me feel that you were put into a situation that what you think would be an easy passage to overcome, but at the end of that journey, you shall never be or feel the same as before and this set of chained emotions will tear you apart if you’re out of your focus!

13. Another Way To Die by Jack White & Alicia Keys, straight to the point, walking with a chip on your shoulder, not looking back, emotionless gaze, eyes on the prize, make it happen at all cost! Finish the job.

Now I haven’t seen the latest Bond film, so I can’t comment on that, for now.

As for the instrumentals, I would go with "On Her Majesty Secret Service by John Barry". It’s Bombastic, cracking with a sinister smile. Deliciously bombastic!

I want to give an honourable for "Die Another Day by Madonna", I’m not really fond of the pop genre, even though I’m secretly a Madonna fan (yes, quite a cunundrum I have :/ ), but surprisingly I actually enjoyed it.

I have a question about the extended remix of A-ha’s TLD, wich i hope someone has an answer. +/- 4 minutes into the extended remix i recently noticed a strange cut in the music. It’s after the second chorus when the song goes into the instrumental break. Question is: does it belong there, is it part of the original mix? It’s strange that I’ve never noticed it before, i’ve heard the version a thousand times, but now it’s beginning to really bother me. Is it just me, or is it part of the official extended remix???

Hoping someone can help!!!

Update, on all youtube versions of the mix there are several strange cuts, is this official?? I don’t remember this!!

In the meantime i’m sorting out all my bond songs/mixes/versions etc. I don’t know if this has been discussed before, but i’m confused with all versions of Chris Cornell’s YKMN & some Skyfall versions. If someone could reply to this, then please!!

01- YKMN –> Main version (first version of the song released, the same as Pop Mix? If not what’s the difference, i read somewhere about a grittier version?) 04.03??
02- YKMN –> Pop Mix (second version of the song, used in the music video? Original version?) 04.01
03- YKMN –> Orchestral Mix? (Cornell’s version with additional orchestra by David Arnold?? Once again, what’s the difference??) 04.03
04- YKMN –> Orchestral Edit (as seen in the title sequence in Casino Royale) 03.20??

Can someone shed some light on this, please!! And as for Skyfall:

01- SF –> Album/Original Version 04.48
02- SF –> Radio Edit 03.59
03- SF –> Title Sequence Edit (different than Radio Edit, as seen in Skyfall Movie)???

I’ve been fortunate enough to get a copy of the Spectre soundtrack and have been living with it for the past few days.

It really does feel like a step up from Skyfall and it’s clear that Newman has become more comfortable working in the Bond idiom. There are some beautiful moments of expansive, soaring strings on tracks like ‘Donna Lucia’ and ‘Madeleine’, which recall Newman’s work on The Shawshank Redemption and American Beauty.

The action cues are also suitably intense and rousing – ‘Los Muertos Vivos Eshan’ makes terrific use of the chord structure of the Bond theme, as does ‘Snow Plane’. There are lots of split notes in the top brass parts throughout, recalling John Barry’s scores of the 60s and David Arnold’s in the Brosnan films.

Other observations – sadly you never get to hear the James Bond theme in full on the soundtrack (like ‘Breadcrumbs’ in Skyfall). In fact, the Monty Norman duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh Bond theme doesn’t appear at all. Newman does tease the ‘be-bop’ middle section of the Bond theme quite a bit though.

And as commented earlier from the snippet released on Classic FM, a choral section is present for a few of the cues. It’s a little Batman in places and not as subtle as the one John Barry used in Moonraker, but it still adds to the piece.

My main thought from listening to the soundtrack is that it’s very enjoyable and engaging as music in its own right, without the visual stimuli of the movie. I felt enjoyment of the Skyfall soundtrack came from listening to it in the context of the movie. This soundtrack is great stand-alone.

My main thought from listening to the soundtrack is that it’s very enjoyable and engaging as music in its own right, without the visual stimuli of the movie. I felt enjoyment of the Skyfall soundtrack came from listening to it in the context of the movie. This soundtrack is great stand-alone.

Hey fincharama, are you able to post the score? I’d love to hear it for myself ๐Ÿ™‚

On a Bond related note: a-ha just released a 2015 remastered edition of "Stay On These Roads" (http://tinyurl.com/nhjubgl), which contains their version of the title song, as the band and John Barry didn’t get along, thus producing two different versions of the song (one that’s on the final film/OST and the other from "Stay On These Roads").

Looks like KaFaraqGatri has a new source to make "The Living Daylights" expanded remastered edition (the two Pretenders songs were remastered and released on the Bond 50 compilation album).

@Gallforce007 are these KaFaraqGatri’s older expanded scores or are these the out of print European discs that included music that wasn’t in the soundtracks (though they’re not complete)?

——-
Now onto question time, while we wait for more expanded goodness! ๐Ÿ˜€

Which score from any of the Bond films is your favorite? For me, it’s "A View to a Kill", "The Living Daylights", "Moonraker", "GoldenEye" (painfully underrated score IMO, next to Kamen’s "Licence to Kill", but to each their own), "Diamonds are Forever" (for a movie that’s going into a proto-Roger Moore territory, the score has moments, especially "Circus, Circus", in which I had on repeat prior to the US opening day of "SPECTRE"), "On Her Majesty’s Secret Service", "Casino Royale", "Goldfinger", "Skyfall" and "SPECTRE".

Spy Who Loved Me also I have different versions, but it’s a good job with tracks taken from the DVD, with sound effects blocks.
I am still waiting to find the version of 27 tracks.
Same thing for Moonraker, I have several versions.
I have two extended versions of Goldeneye, there is really a version of the film of The Experience Of Love (3:29)

Ik think it is a great gesture that everybody here is willing to help eachother with these amazing soundtracks. That doesn’t happen on a lot of other forums.

That said, i would be very greatfull Gallforce007 with anything you would be kind enough to upload. Next to certain versions of the titlesongs (that you will never find elsewhere on the net ) i found here, i just enjoy listening to everybody’s hard work on these editions. So thank you very much for taking the time to work on these soundtracks and for re-uploading all the good stuff.

Dear KaFaraqGatri,

I think everyone will agree that thanks to your efforts and your work on extending the soundtracks of James Bond, we can finally hear the whole talented work done for 50 years by talented composers; John Barry in the lead.

I know that extracting and mixing a soundtrack is long and tedious. Just to assemble "Trish Trash Polka" with the soundtrack of John Barry (recover on YouTube) to edit the complete score of the Gondola chase in Moonraker, it took me a 2 hours at least for a result that does not happen up to what you’re doing.

We are all anxious to see the extent of your work on the new mixes are you up for several months.

Since I am a member of the forum, I log in every day hoping to see a new score; and I think that the initiative of "Gallforce007" allow those who join the forum to discover all your work; and this allows us to wait.

I do not write often on the forum, but it’s time to give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s.

We love your expanded scores and all the hard work you put into them. I could imagine how difficult it can be (example: the three Connery films , all of Moore’s, except "Live and Let Die" and Dalton’s "Licence to Kill").

Not to mention that this year is a big year for Bond and not just Spectre (which I’m looking forward for the expanded score), but it’s also the 20th anniversary of "GoldenEye" and the 30th anniversary of "A View To A Kill", so we could imagine the anticipation for those three soundtracks to be expanded (we sure did got a treat with the expanded release of "Thunderball" on it’s 50th).

Thank you once again for all the work you do!

The opening of AWTD is practically a rip off of YKMN. I don’t know how they got away with it.

It was deliberate reuse, David Arnold’s idea I believe, to show that the two stories are linked. Don’t ask where I read that, it was some time ago, but it IS true!

Well, as everyone else here said, no need for apologies, chap. We know it’s a daunting task. I have my share taste of the little experience. So take your time, I wouldn’t even be mad if you finished after I’m already deceased. X’D

Speaking of little taste of experience, I finally found a site that’s not a requirement to sign in to upload (something I couldn’t do without Kaf and Rapheal’s source materials). So here’s my film/soundtrack mix of Backseat Driver 2.0… Enjoy.

This thread is great, but one problem: I know that someone has done a lot of really hard work to get some of these extended soundtracks together, making custom covers, etc. but some of the tracks are taken from the dvds and are really bad quality recordings. I wish that I had known what was what before I downloaded them. I wish that someone could have listed the tracks with source information, so I know where the music came from. I’m going through all the music and notating exactly that information, so I can edit the track listings on the back covers and add little * or & or something like that, indicating to look down at the footnotes to see the source information.

It really would have been nice to have it previously.

I would partially agree; some of them have poorer audio. That is one reason why I am revisiting them.

Thank you very much for this! I’ve tagged it as track "34. End Titles (Film Version)", right after "33. Thunderball Radio Spot".

Wishful thinking, but I hope someone does clean blu-ray rips of the missing instrumentals of "Octopussy" (when Bond is flying the Acrostar, the scene where Bond is at Checkpoint Charlie, the egg auction scene, the arrival at Delhi). I’ve tried to rip these, but I’ve deleted immediately, since they’re ripped from an MKV and I wasn’t too happy with the sound (it’s been a while, since I’ve tried to isolate sound effects/dialogue using Adobe, Audacity and Goldwave).

Kapow design released covers, booklets and jewel case inserts for these, but they’re for the older versions. However, you can use the covers for iPod/iTunes album art. http://kapowdesign.blogspot.com/search/label/Bond%2050

Stinkor made some iPod/iTunes cover art here (Thread 77043). I don’t know if Stinkor will make album art for SPECTRE.

Mr Gold made iPod/iTunes cover art here (Thread 90457).

heidl made iPod/iTunes covers for both Skyfall (link) (http://hqcovers.net/2013/08/28/skyfall-by-thomas-newman/) and SPECTRE (link) (http://hqcovers.net/2015/10/27/spectre-by-thomas-newman/).

Common for some "scene" torrent groups to upload mixed with HDCam recordings.
Usually the first uploads are audio captured from camera, then later mixed with line recordings.

TOMORROW NEVER DIES is now posted.

I’ve heard (and owned) so many versions of this score that it can be hard to keep track of what’s what. Two commercial albums were released in 1997 and 2000 respectively, but both had issues. A pressed bootleg was released a little while later and that too had its own share of problems, and of course there is the isolated score on the DVDs and Blu-rays. However, the track contains wild volume fluctuations and is heavily edited/tracks in parts, and thus is not representative of Arnold’s original compositions (post production on the film was rushed with lots of last minute changes which affected, amongst other things, the music). I wanted to create a version of the score that not only was as complete as possible but also reflected David Arnold’s music as he had originally conceived of it. After many hours of editing, tweaking and mastering, I think I have something that fulfills my goals. I wouldn’t be so bigheaded as to say it is the "definitive version", as I believe that edition is still to come (if Eon pull their thumbs out and release official expansions of all the Bond scores, that is). However, I feel this is as good as can be done at this moment.

I could go on about the process and the little things I did but I will say that I am quite happy particularly with two cues. Company Car is now complete; compare this version to the commercial track and the edited film version to see what I mean. And although the levels are a little off due to the nature of the insert used in the film, it is nice to be able to hear an expanded version of Beamer Screamer (entitled Backseat Driver on the original album).

As an aside, I had intended to post a different score before this one, but I am still waiting on the finishing touches – I am still hoping to have that done by the end of the year.

Bloody good work, as ever, KFG. As Gallforce 007 indicates, Back Seat Driver, or Beamer Screamer (excellent title btw) is spot on. You nailed it.

Looking forward to more good stuff to come. I agreee with you, I just wish Eon would allow proper score expansions to be released – or at least put the missing tracks online, so we can buy the sodding stuff (surely they do realise that most of us will give them money for this stuff, oh well, maybe they think they have enough).

A pressed bootleg was released a little while later and that too had its own share of problems, and of course there is the isolated score on the DVDs and Blu-rays. However, the track contains wild volume fluctuations and is heavily edited/tracks in parts, and thus is not representative of Arnold’s original compositions (post production on the film was rushed with lots of last minute changes which affected, amongst other things, the music). I wanted to create a version of the score that not only was as complete as possible but also reflected David Arnold’s music as he had originally conceived of it. After many hours of editing, tweaking and mastering, I think I have something that fulfills my goals. I wouldn’t be so bigheaded as to say it is the "definitive version", as I believe that edition is still to come (if Eon pull their thumbs out and release official expansions of all the Bond scores, that is). However, I feel this is as good as can be done at this moment.

I could go on about the process and the little things I did but I will say that I am quite happy particularly with two cues. Company Car is now complete; compare this version to the commercial track and the edited film version to see what I mean. And although the levels are a little off due to the nature of the insert used in the film, it is nice to be able to hear an expanded version of Beamer Screamer (entitled Backseat Driver on the original album).

As an aside, I had intended to post a different score before this one, but I am still waiting on the finishing touches – I am still hoping to have that done by the end of the year.

It’s so much fun to read about the process, very interesting. Thank u very very much for this expanded score, just in time for X-mas. thank u!!

Thank you very much! I don’t know if it’s been mentioned before, but I was amused to notice that ‘White Knight’ contains portions of the James Bond theme, James Bond is Back from The Opening Titles to From Russia With Love and Surrender. What an homage to Barry!

TND is one of my favorites too. It was great to revisit it in such minute detail. And I have long since defended GoldenEye’s score – I think I’d describe it as a rough diamond, it really is something special. Always nice to see others who love it too.

It is indeed. Perhaps that’s why some people hated it, particularly John Barry fans. I worship the man, but still I’ve always loved Serra’s take on the film.

Thank you for all your labor, KFG. BTW, in which cue of TND is the Thunderball reference?

Check out that motif around 21 seconds into An Urgent Call. It’s definitely intentional, I think. A lovely little nod to John Barry ๐Ÿ™‚

Many thanks for TND, KaFaraqGatri!

I appreciate the inclusion of the film versions of Company Car and Backseat Driver. It also hit me, for the first time really, how terrific the first part of Bike Shop Fight is. I love the combination of electric guitar and violins, with a sprinkle of harp and piano.

I’m happy to see you included the Beethoven piece. I hope you also include non-original music in The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker. In TSWLM, there are some pieces which I’m pretty sure were re-recorded for the film: Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major; Chopin’s Nocturne Op. 27 No. 2 in D flat major, with features a string section instead of just piano, as originally written; Bach’s Air on the G string, which includes a synth sound at the very beginning; and Jarre’s Lawrence of Arabia. In MR, I’m not sure Strauss’ Tritsch-Tratsch Polka or Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Fantasy are re-recordings, but it’s obvious Bernstein’s The Magnificent Seven is; its sound is very Barryesque.

Anyway, thanks once again!

I’ve been wondering the same thing. I’m also curious if tracks like the moody underscore for Venice/Chess game in the beginning, the film version of Spectre Island, the tension cue where Bond and Romanova is running behind the train at night, and Belgrad Express will be available in the future. Greatly missed here.

I am really anticipating not only the chess match music, the film versions of the Zagreb express and SPECTRE Island , but also the Gunbarrel/Stalking track, the reused Monty Norman score when Bond bombs all the SPECTRE agents on the boat (which is the same cue as the death of Dr. No) and the film version of Leila’s dance.

These are film editor mixes made during the post-production process, and are not representative of John Barry’s original compositions. The latter is basically a cut-and-paste job of Monty Norman’s James Bond theme, which Barry was strongly against.

Well, my sources came through in time for the 20th anniversary – GOLDENEYE is now posted.

The main attractions on this, for me, are the new mix of the tank chase (thanks to RDAF) but also a rare instrumental of The Experience Of Love, which is not on any other expansions of this score that I have seen. I also took more care with regards to the mastering this time round and removed a duplicated cue from the old edition. Finally, like some of the other scores here, this is a gapless album for those using iTunes.

in the track 20 – Tank Chase Around St. Petersburg, at 3:40 you can hear in the clip.
I also wanted to ask, there is no version of the song by Tina Turner that feels like in the movie ???
Then also lacks the track tiger helicopter with Bond, it does not exist?

Sorry about that. I will upload a fixed version.

The title song in the film is a remixed edit, made from the single edit with a slightly altered bass line. As far as I know, it has not been released. Same goes for the Tiger escape.

Regardless of what you drop on us next, I know it will be awesome. I would like to say that a complete version of Barry’s score for "Moonraker" would be a gem to behold.

Yes, but the film has received a digital release already, so some music may be isolated from that. And there is an expanded version of the OST on the Shrine with added music taken from a screener I believe and it is pretty well done.

Define "pretty well done"

They (I’m sorry I can remember who did it off the top of my head) had taken music from the screener (gunbarrell, end of PTS, JB theme into the end credits, to name a few) and whilst not as good as the OST, sounded listenable on headphones and even on my midi-system. I was surprised by how clean the rips were – no gunshot in the gunbarrel for instance.

I guess I define ‘pretty well done’ as not completely objectionable to my hearing, considering the source. But what is acceptable to me may not be acceptable to others. I assumed someone would do a better version (maybe KFG) once the film released properly. Hope that helps. If I can find the thread with the extended versionb, I’ll post the link for others to judge the quality.

Indeed… James Bond would not nearly be the same without John Barry… it’s too bad he was never given the credit for it that he deserved. Please forgive bringing this up in a tribute post… but I think we all know who really "wrote" the James Bond Theme.

Here’s the unfortunate story: http://www.jollinger.com/barry/lawsuit.htm

It’s pretty clear who did the work on the iconic theme; i.e. the same person who was brought back to score nearly a dozen more Bond films.

RIP John Barry, one of the very greats.

That’s because the cue itself was released by Sony in a video blog about an explosion in the film getting into the Guinness Book of Records. You actually have Antovolk to thank for it as he was able to get a master copy with the sound mixed into separate tracks.

Anyone else noticed track 2 (A Pleasant ‘Fright’) and the first 30 seconds of track 3 (Keep Your Hair On) is not featured in the film ‘For Your Eyes Only’? It must have been a frustrating experience for Bill Conti watching the film and realizing how much of his music for the opening sequence that didn’t make the final cut…

As many of you probably know there are a few soundtrack versions of FYEO floating around the Internet with slightly different running order, number of tracks and different track titles.
Does Kafaraq or anyone else know the track title on this version that corresponds with ‘Death of Ferrare and into Greece’, if there is one?

I had all the previous bond score releases from this thread on a hard drive that has died, and I lost the lot. However, a lot of the zip files for the soundtracks survive on another drive. I can retrieve them from those… If I can only remember the passwords to the rar files. I know FamilyMotto is a fairly recent password by comparison, but does anyone here remember the older passwords for the older rar files? Maybe you can recall them KaFaraqGatri/Takehiro?

I think "A Pleasant Fright" is in the wrong order on the soundtrack (it’s too different to the "Flowers for Tracey" and "Keep your Hair On" tracks either side of it). Sounds like it fits in around the capture by Julian Glover’s character just after the sub escape or around the mountain ending….

It’s in the right spot. It was originally written to underscore Bond getting into the chopper, the pilot being electrocuted and the chopper turning into a nosedive, but John Glen decided to remove it.

You know, this TV spot (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rboQp3VK4j4) of The Spy Who Loved Me proves that the Bond theme heard when Bond rides the camera leads naturally into the Ski Chase coda. It was edited for the film. I suppose it’s not hard to tell, but this is solid proof.

The cut is mostly alright, because the theme ends when the cameras are switched off, but it’s still ever so slightly jarring.

Special thanks to tehƧP@ƦKly???ANK??? -Ⅲ??? for supplying the assets. Given the historical and analogue nature of the source material, some of the tracks are a little hissy but hopefully nothing too distracting. I was hesitant to dehiss them to avoid introducing artefacts, so pretty much left them alone. Like some of the other scores on here, one or two of the tracks are gapless and flow into each other for (what I feel is) a better listening experience.

Yes, I spoke too soon. Having spent two years on and off with Goldfinger, I was simply unsatisifed with the quality of some of the material I had been given or acquired – some of the cues weren’t even complete. As a result, there is only a minute or two of minor cues missing from this compilation, including one or two "Oddjob stings" that last only five or six seconds. These ‘stings’ are heard again in some other cues on the album and, to me, are not missed being heard again in isolation. I think what I managed to put together here makes a pretty nice listen, although it won’t please everyone.

Do you have the cue "A car in the mirror" heard as Bond crashes the car when being chased? I’d be interested even if it’s in bad quality, since that’s the one standout track that I can’t find anywhere else as part of the score.

I don’t know if this counts but I like when the Escape from cloud city music was tracked over the scene with the snowspeeders searching for Luke and Han in empire.

Also the extensive use of tracked library music in conjunction with the original goblin score in the US version of Dawn of the Dead is nice.

I like the Aliens music used toward the end of Die Hard.

Depends how well it is done. To give but one example, The Living Daylights has some tracked music and I think it completely works. Sometimes it sticks out, particularly if it’s badly edited or looped. Otherwise, it doesn’t bother me, generally.


Anaximander
04-17-2016, 09:37 PM
It sounds like they looped that low percussive intro to Capsule in Space in YOLT before the harp(?) and strings come in. It works pretty well.
Agree that the TLD tracking was done well. Barry’s music is very thematic, in general. Like, he scores more to the mood than the action, so if the mood fits the music, it tends to work well.

———- Post added at 04:37 PM ———- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ———-

Despite Barry’s annoyance at its use, I never minded the Bond theme being tracked in FRWL, YOLT, OHMSS, etc. although it’s a little weird in FRWL when it’s played over Bond checking into his hotel room. Not exactly a high energy action scene for such a bombastic piece of music. The best of course is when it appears during the card table scene early in Dr. No. So smooth.

My earliest recollections of the Bond films were of the previews for the ABC showings… Always used the original theme, far as I can recall… but that music, with that voice-over, "Tonight… James Bond is Back…" etc. Funny too… I couldn’t have been more than 7 or 8… yet those remain vivid memories, even tho I didn’t understand 100% of what I was watching.

It’s too bad VCR recording wasn’t invented yet.

I think this is a case of them cutting it down for repetition on the LP and not tracking. I could be wrong but I think that’s the likely case.


Sean Barry
04-18-2016, 08:05 PM
I guess I’m in the minority when I say I like hearing tracked music? :p

It depends, as others have pointed out. I think it works well thematically in The Living Daylights with repeated versions of Necros’ theme (Necros Attacks, Inflight Fight etc.) and in Octopussy with the tracking of parts of 009 Gets The Knife for example. I agrew with KaFaraq that if the editing is done musically and well timed it works.


Anaximander
04-20-2016, 05:02 PM
the thing I find amazing is how well sound editors often did trsacking music in an age before it was all easily done on a computer screen with visual interface to easily line up the cues with the images. I imagine it could be a long and painstaking process to get it "just right"

Nothing new here! Everything just taken apart from stuff around since 2010 and reassembled.

Actually everything has been remade/reworked from scratch. All I have done is omit anything sourced from DVD or remixed the same cues from better quality sources (i.e. the Blu-rays). Some of the cues are also retitled, but that’s a minor change. Still, if you’re not enjoying them, that’s fine ๐Ÿ™‚

I like that the new versions have dropped some of the recreated tracking, since I am not intimately familiar with the films, some tracking I didn’t notice and so was listening to extra music that I didn’t "need" to listen to.

Oh and some music that KaFa cut out of his previous versions are restored in some cases (for instance some music in Full of surprises from OHMSS)

Thanks for these Ka!

^Sad to hear about that. We’ve lost so many celebrities this week; first Doris Roberts, then Chyna and Prince, now Guy Hamilton. RIP

Bummer about Hamilton. He was up there with Hunt, Glen and Young as one of the best 007 directors.

Did the DVD producers source the music from original score master tapes?

Some of the rips in Goldfinger sound quite nice, although maybe that’s just KaFarq’s mastering skills to thank.

By the way, let’s not lose hope on the possibility of the Moonraker tapes being found:

http://www.hometheaterforum.com/community/threads/james-bond-007-soundtracks-golden-gun-spy-moonraker-view-to-a-kill-octopussy.322777/

Mr Burlingame’s book has given new hope to the existence of the tapes as he clearly states they were ferried to London by Dan Wallin for mixing and dubbing so it would seem unlikely they were ferried back again. Hopefully that’s the case as it seemed many original tapes were destroyed by Davout Studios and Barry did not have a duplicate himself.
If a remix was done in the 80’s then presumably they would have needed the tapes or some other dups to create it? If it was done in the States then perhaps that is where some of the material is.

The general problem seems to be EMI’s lack of interest in expanding the rest of the Bond scores. I think they’re content to have a ‘best of’ collection every few years featuring the title songs. It’s a shame, considering how many other major franchises *coughcoughSTARTREKcoughcough* have seen full expansions of score albums in recent years. Surely EMI could outsource this to Intrada or LaLaLand and sell these at a limited run depending on demand. The Star Trek TOS box set was, IIRC, in higher demand than its producers had initially expected–the number of Barry fans and general score lovers will yield a fairly high demand for these, if the recent (failed) Kickstarter to rerecord Moonraker is any indication.

Luckily we have someone devoted enough to create the next best thing in this thread, and in most cases, I don’t even listen to the original LP sequences anymore because these edits are closer to what die hard score lovers and myself would want in official expanded releases.

That’s very interesting to share, Lyedecker!

I think those "expanded" Bond releases from 2003 were a joke (also, the tracklisting isn’t in movie order, but it’s scrambled to the original LP listening experience order, while the unreleased bits were "bonus tracks"). "Dr. No", "From Russia with Love", "Goldfinger", "The Man with the Golden Gun", "Moonraker", "The Spy Who Loved Me", "A View to a Kill" and "Octopussy" is missing all of the music that’s heard in the movie and while I’d like a re-recording of "Moonraker", I think "The Spy Who Loved Me" is another one in dire need of a re-recording too, as every Bond fan loves that film along with "Goldfinger" (though story has it that the late Marvin Hamlisch lost the masters, but I’m not sure if that story’s true). It also helps that TSWLM was nominated for an Oscar for best original score, but lost to "Star Wars".

Intrada or LaLaLand would definitely be the best places that EMI could outsource their Bond scores to, as there will be a higher demand of people who would want these scores to be expanded the proper way.

We have to be very thankful for KaFaraqGatri and those who’ve helped him contribute their time to help make this possible. In fact, I’m very thankful of this thread, because it really got me back into the Bond fandom (though Skyfall helped on that front as well).

The running order of the tracks was restricted by the original record label. When they re-released the albums in 2003 they had to keep the original tracks in their original order (though they did sneak some expansions of those tracks in) and then put the additional tracks after as bonus tracks. They didn’t have to bunch those tracks together (as they did on Thunderball) forcing us to have to separate them out again.

For ‘Dr No’, ‘From Russia With Love’ & ‘Goldfinger’ the original master tapes are no longer in existence. So you’ll never get any more of these, unless a re-recording is ever allowed. Beyond ‘Live And Let Die’ there was no more budget for Lucas Kendall to work with. From memory he said had he known the money was about to be stopped he’d have done ‘The Man With The Golden Gun’ ahead of ‘Live And Let Die’. Glad he didn’t myself.

The Moonraker kickstarter re-recording project was on track I believe, and then having met the target it was pulled due to issues that need to be reviewed (I guess legal issues). This suggests EMI don’t want any new version of these albums coming out.

Looking at the link that Lyedecker posted, (http://www.hometheaterforum.com/community/threads/james-bond-007-soundtracks-golden-gun-spy-moonraker-view-to-a-kill-octopussy.322777/) there is a comment by brioni:

The 50th Anniversary was certainly a missed opportunity as the 30th and 40th presented us with new music, a bizarre 2 CD compilation was all that transpired. When Richard Moore was compiling a remaster for Matt Monro’s singles in 2010, he struck upon a problem:
“The original session tapes I wanted to use have been sent back to United Artists films in 2006. This leads to two months of fevered searching. United Artists is owned by MGM and they search everywhere they can think of – The James Bond archives, the MGM archives in the UK and USA and various sub archives – they can find nothing and what’s more there is no record of anything being returned to them in the past three years.
So unfortunately these tapes have disappeared down some form of black hole – so I am left with Mono mixes of these tracks for this compilation.”

With mess-ups happening even as recently as this, it doesn’t bode well for future releases although I’d love to see an inventory of those archives!

This comment suggests that FRWL couldn’t be found in 2010. However looking on Richard Moore’s website you can see that by 2011 he was able to locate multi tracks to make a stereo mix of Matt Monro’s FRWL. Does that mean EMI or United Artists did find all the FRWL masters?

I can understand the masters to the older scores being lost, but I’m amazed nothing exists or can be found for the later scores.

We know TMWTGG and TSWLM tapes existed as recently as 2003 (whether they still survive is unknown), and it just kills me that the powers-that-be at eon and mgm are still so out of touch with the desires of the film score fan community.

———- Post added at 10:57 AM ———- Previous post was at 10:54 AM ———-

The very least they could do is release a compilation of unreleased cues something akin to the 1993 best of bond 2nd disc.

———- Post added at 11:02 AM ———- Previous post was at 10:57 AM ———-

Regarding FRWL, it was my understanding the Munro sessions were seperate from the scoring sessions, so I wouldn’t hold out hopes that score masters from 1963 have survived, although we’ve seen recent expansions and remasters of even older non-Bond scores, so never say never;)

Sorry for the late reply, but I just wanted to add something to what vzok posted in response to Lyedecker’s question of "Did the DVD producers source the music from original score master tapes?"

Mi Casa Multimedia (founded in 1997 and once based in Los Angeles but now, apparently, out of business) were tasked by MGM with remastering the monaural and stereo Bond films into 5.1 for the Ulimate Edition (UE) DVDs in the mid-2000s, with work beginning sometime around 2003. These new mixes were used for the Blu-ray releases, although following a poor reception of the UE mix on Thunderball, the 5.1 mix of this film on the Blu-rays is different (read: more sympathetic) to the original mix than the version included on the UE DVDs. An article published in January 2003 read (emphasis added by me):

Original masters from the films only had mono dialogue, music and sound effects – so how can 5.1 surround sound tracks be created? The answer came in the shape of original scoring session at Abbey Road Studios, London. A cornucopia of tracks and formats have been reshaped to form polished surround sound sound by using clips and segments… from up to eight hours of original session recordings.

This, to me, implies that original scoring sessions exist, even for the earliest films. There is some entirely clean (and high quality) unreleased music in some of the films from the 60s, 70s and 80s that was expanded into surround for the UE DVDs, which suggests that it is possible for these cues to be released on CD. Even if a record company released new expanded Bond scores and only had access to stems as opposed to scoring sessions (similar to what was done on for La-La Land’s releases of Die Hard or It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World), it would be possible to include new music – assuming separate dialogue, sound effects and music masters exist that were originally created for contemporary foreign dubs. However, the article makes it explicity clear that original scoring sessions exist for (at least some of) the films, so I see no reason why (technically-speaking) some of the Bond soundtracks cannot be given a new expanded treatment.

With regards to missing/unavailable masters, Lukas Kendall (who did the 2003 expansions) stated at the time that:

Master tapes for Dr. No, From Russia with Love and Goldfinger were not at EMI’s Abbey Road vaults in London, where most of the expanded Bond material was kept [he presumed they were missing but who knows]
Thunderball was intended to be a 2-CD set but EMI could not afford it. Additionally, master tapes in the UK and US were incomplete, with at least two cues missing. However, other existing cues were not included for space reasons [the Thunderball album had to be under 80 minutes to fit on one CD]
Nancy Sinatra’s vocal-only track of the title song is missing, rendering a remastered remix impossible; the music-only backing track exists so an edit combining the music-only track with the album master was used on the expanded CD
OHMSS is missing the full versions of come cues (which were edited for "redundant passages"), some source music, at least one alternate cue and the film version of "We Have All the Time in the World" as Bond and Tracy hide out in the garage. These cues were omitted in order to create an expanded album that fit on one CD [it runs for 79:44]
Diamonds Are Forever fades out a cue early as it was repetitious and over five minutes long, and the album is also missing only some wild snare drum hits and trumpet fanfares as heard in "Circus, Circus" in the film; again, this was all done to in order to create a single CD album [it runs for 75:48]
Originally, EMI was going to try to remix and expand both Live and Let Die and The Man with the Golden Gun from the 16-track tapes. As the transfers were being done at Abbey Road, Kendall was informed that the process was becoming too costly and, so The Man with the Golden Gun would not be done. Had he known he could only do one of the early Moores, he would have suggested the John Barry score rather than the George Martin one — but he didn’t, so we lost out on that
There are 24-track tapes of The Spy Who Loved Me at Abbey Road, but it wasn’t known if these were for the film soundtrack or the LP re-recording. 24-track mixes are very time-consuming and expensive to work with, which prohibited an expansion in 2003
Moonraker was missing because it was recorded in Paris [although the HTF post by brioni suggests the material is not in France at all]
Octopussy may have tapes of extra music at MGM in Los Angeles, but there wasn’t time to check in 2003
A View to a Kill was recorded in London, but the tapes are not at Abbey Road [very strange]
Another thing that was dropped due to a lack of time and money was the tank chase cues from GoldenEye, which was recorded on modern digital tape that required expensive equipment to transfer

With all these factors take into account, it would seem that official expanded versions of the following films, at the very least, would be possible (using stems or scoring sessions, and assuming many of the later films have their original scoring sessions safely vaulted):

– From Russia with Love
– Goldfinger
– Thunderball (2CD set, assuming the alternate versions of the title song and some of the missing cues were included)
– You Only Live Twice (2CD set, assuming the Julie Rogers version of the title song was included along with the instrumental of Sinatra’s version)
– On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (2CD set, assuming the material edited/cut for the 2003 edition was included)
– Diamonds Are Forever (2CD set, assuming the wild hits were included)
– Live and Let Die (the 2003 edition edits/combines cues and there is no indication the uncut master recordings are missing)
– The Man with the Golden Gun (the 16-track masters exist)
– The Spy Who Loved Me (assuming the 24-track masters are for the score and not the LP re-recordings)
– For Your Eyes Only (no indication the masters are missing, the Rykodisc/EMI editions simply don’t include all of the music)
– Octopussy (assuming the extra material is indeed in LA)
– The Living Daylights (no indication the masters are missing, the Rykodisc/EMI editions simply don’t include all of the music)
– GoldenEye
– Tomorrow Never Dies
– The World is Not Enough
– Die Another Day
– Casino Royale (aside from a couple of alternates, we more or less have the full score available commercially)
– Quantum of Solace
– Skyfall
– Spectre

The more time passes, the more I lose hope that these amazing soundtracks won’t see an official release. It is nice to think the stars will align and that an intrepid record label/producer is able to talk some sense into the rights holders and produce newly-expanded versions of the Bond scores, even if it means using less-than-ideal sources. But time will tell; it always does.

Thanks for all of that KFG, very interesting. I didn’t know any of that info re the DVD mixes.

So using stems is what they did with the expansion of Casino Royale 67 – is that right?

Couldn’t they have fitted more on to a single CD? I know Bear Family cram in up to 89 minutes on to some of their CDs, and they play fine for me.

The fact that when Richard Moore was searching for Matt Monro’s FRWL and UA / EMI didn’t seem to have realised that it wasn’t at Abbey Road certainly suggests that Dr No, FRWL and GF could just be somewhere else rather than just destroyed. Maybe AVTAK is located with them.

The wild hits and fanfares in DAF can’t have lasted too long, can they? Surely they had a couple of minutes of space left on that CD. They included a sting which occurs when Q tells Bond Peter Franks has escaped, but I think there is another one when Blofeld (posing as Willard Whyte) slams the phone down.

Don’t we already have the full score for Quantum Of Solace? I thought only the end credits song was missing and that was on iTunes.

Wasn’t the tank chase cue on a John Altman compilation CD – couldn’t they use that on Goldeneye?

Anyway, I think you are right and that hope is fading for any more expansions. If they were interested then the 50th anniversary would have been the time to do it, and why block the Moonraker rerecording.

Thanks for that comprehensive and informative post, KaFaraq.

In response to your last remarks, I think it will take a lot of passion and interest from someone with a lot of influence in Barbara Broccoli’s inner circle, and even then, she may be unwilling or unable to go through the legal wrangles and hoops with all of the different record labels and rights holders involved. We know Broccoli was close to Barry via his wife, and even that hasn’t led her to pursue this project or task someone else with taking it on. It could be she has already tried and realized what a, pardon my french, clusterfuck it would be. More likely, however, is that I just don’t think it’s something very high on her to-do list, as her primary desire is to continue producing new Bond movies and scanning the horizon for Craig’s eventual successor.

As has already been addressed by you, myself, and other people in this thread, it’s not an issue of the smaller score labels lacking interest so much as it is (probably) an issue of getting the powers-that-be to be enthusiastic about a project that they might perceive to yield little financial return.

I guess it is still possible but not probable that I will ever hear the original "Best Place In Town" and "Walk To The Barn" (both SFX free) from Goldfinger (my first soundtrack). As KaFaraq stated "Time will tell" but as we wait we all get a little older.

I forget the story behind that, as I have never seen it or listened to the score, so I couldn’t say.

Couldn’t they have fitted more on to a single CD? I know Bear Family cram in up to 89 minutes on to some of their CDs, and they play fine for me.

There are 90 minute CDs but I think it’s a very niche thing and some (earlier?) CD players have trouble with them. Anything beyond 80 minutes requires the pressing plant to sign a waiver stating they will not be held responsible if the disc has readabilty issues on some players.

The wild hits and fanfares in DAF can’t have lasted too long, can they? Surely they had a couple of minutes of space left on that CD.

I forgot to mention, a piece of source music was also cut down for the album. I’ve amended my post above. As recorded, it was over five minutes and quite repetitive but faded out early to, again, fit more music on the disc.

Don’t we already have the full score for Quantum Of Solace? I thought only the end credits song was missing and that was on iTunes.

There’s the "bar escape" cue that has never been released as well as another Field Trip-type cue, to name but two. From all of the commercially-released Bond scores, this is the most complete, however.

Wasn’t the tank chase cue on a John Altman compilation CD – couldn’t they use that on Goldeneye?

Yes, it was included on one Altman’s agency promos, but it was only the first part of the chase. The rest of the music was not included.

– The Spy Who Loved Me (assuming the 24-track masters are for the score and not the LP re-recordings)
– For Your Eyes Only (no indication the masters are missing, the Rykodisc/EMI editions simply don’t include all of the music)
– Octopussy (assuming the extra material is indeed in LA)
– The Living Daylights (no indication the masters are missing, the Rykodisc/EMI editions simply don’t include all of the music)
– GoldenEye
– Tomorrow Never Dies
– The World is Not Enough
– Die Another Day
– Casino Royale (aside from a couple of alternates, we more or less have the full score available commercially)
– Quantum of Solace
– Skyfall
– Spectre

The more time passes, the more I lose hope that these amazing soundtracks won’t see an official release. It is nice to think the stars will align and that an intrepid record label/producer is able to talk some sense into the rights holders and produce newly-expanded versions of the Bond scores, even if it means using less-than-ideal sources. But time will tell; it always does.

This explains a lot. Thanks for the info!

I forget the story behind that, as I have never seen it or listened to the score, so I couldn’t say.

There are 90 minute CDs but I think it’s a very niche thing and some (earlier?) CD players have trouble with them. Anything beyond 80 minutes requires the pressing plant to sign a waiver stating they will not be held responsible if the disc has readabilty issues on some players.

I forgot to mention, a piece of source music was also cut down for the album. I’ve amended my post above. As recorded, it was over five minutes and quite repetitive but faded out early to, again, fit more music on the disc.

There’s the "bar escape" cue that has never been released as well as another Field Trip-type cue, to name but two. From all of the commercially-released Bond scores, this is the most complete, however.

Yes, it was included on one Altman’s agency promos, but it was only the first part of the chase. The rest of the music was not included.

Thanks a lot for all of that KFG.

I remember now reading about that repetitive track. It was ‘The Whyte House" which lasted over 5 minutes, largely repeating the same minute over and over, so they edited it down to 2 minutes plus a fade as we looped around for the third time.

Thinking about putting together a compilation of every rejected Bond song ever.

Good idea. You know there was a fan-made compilation floating around a few years back including Johnny Cash’s ‘Thunderball’, Julie Rogers’ ‘You Only Live Twice’, Straw’s ‘The World Is Not Enough’, Alice Cooper’s ‘Man with The Golden Gun’, Blondie’s ‘For Your Eyes Only’ and Phyllis Hyman’s ‘Never Say Never Again’? Can’t seem to find it now sadly, so an updated version would be most welcomed.

Some links to help in your quest (You probably already know them, so to all who doesn’t): http://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/lost-bond-themes/ and http://graemeshimmin.com/alternative-james-bond-themes/

Not to mention the Academy and Golden Globe voters too. I don’t think the song was that worthy of the win and the songs that were nominated in the awards were more deserving of a win, but that’s a story for another time.

For me, I hope this will be one of the bonus tracks on the expanded score for SPECTRE, as it’s such a good song and I’ve been listening to it on repeat as well. I also don’t mind the rejected songs album idea as well.

Hi Just wondering if any CD Covers Back & Front have been made for these fantastic Expanded Scores?

Sadly, no CD covers with fronts and backs (plus a disc and booklet) were never made for these (which I think should be done, as Bond is very underrated as far as designing one of these goes, in my opinion).

However, there are some on the Custom Covers thread.

tintacle made covers for "A View to a Kill" via a request I’ve made –

Stinkor made covers for the series, but I’m not sure if he’ll make one for "SPECTRE" –
Thread 77043

Mr. Gold made covers for the entire series –

Most of these have "Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" on them, but I think it’s okay (though personally, I’d also like "Expanded Motion Picture Score" on them, just for iTunes organization sakes and since these scores are expanded after all), and could be used to print out and use for jewel cases, but they don’t have a back and were designed mainly for iTunes or Foobar2000 libraries.

Still I hope Bond fandom gets more love and more custom jewel case inserts and iTunes covers will be made for these expanded scores soon.

"Technical" question for KFG –

Your Spectre track "Escape From The Compound" is an edit of "Tempus Fugit". You’ve cut out the fluttering flute bit, which is used in the helicopter fight scene. Is that bit not used as Bond escapes from the compound?

I can’t say I’ve noticed it when I’ve seen Spectre.

Nope. On the Spectre album, Newman (as per his album presentation of Skyfall) had one or two tracks made up of music from entirely different scenes in the film. In this case, the track "Tempus Fugit" is a mini suite of material from the opening helicopter fight (which features the fluttering flute) and the compond escape music. The two cues have similar material so I am assuming that’s why he edited them into one. From memory, he did the same thing with Granborough Road on Skyfall (which contained similar-sounding thematic material from the Komodo dragons scene and the train chase, IIRC).

Interesting topic, because I was watching DAD the other day on television and London Calling from The Clash is prominently present in the movie when 007 on the 747 flies back to London and before Gustav Graves makes his grand entrance at Buckingham Palace, but I never found it in any complete or expanded versions of the score…
Is there a reason for this or is it pure a copyright question?

Excellent choice of download there!

I love the Barry Bond scores as much as the next guy, but there’s something I really love about George Martin’s wonderful contributions with that score. The gunbarrel is perfect, the title song is pure magic and the track "Bond Meets Solitaire" is absolutely amazing, as well as the rest of the score (especially the instrumental that segues to the reprise of the title song). Yeah, the film is pure ’70s spy thriller cheese, but the score makes up for it, I’d say (and Sir Roger’s performance, but I’m partial to his performance in TSWLM, Moonraker and FYEO).

The first half of the LP version of "The Death of Grant" is on the track "8. Explosive Close Call (1:01)". The other parts that pertains to it are on these two tracks:

21. Briefcase Ruse (0:22)
22. Death Of Grant (0:36)

I believe those two tracks were cut in the final film, because the battle between Grant and Bond is in total silence.

Yes; it is non-original music (i.e. it’s not composed by David Arnold) but I felt the general vibe/tone of the track fitted amongst the score pretty well, so I opted to include it. You could, of course, remove it if you did not like it ๐Ÿ™‚

My favorite James Bond scores are GoldenEye (1995) by Eric Serra, Spectre (2015) Composed & Conducted by Thomas Newman, The World Is Not Enough (1999) by David Arnold & You Only Live Twice (1967) Composed & Conducted by John Barry.

Barry was notorious for truncating his cues into single tracks on album releases. That seemed common on older soundtrack albums so I don’t know if he was responsible or if the record companies were the ones compiling the music (also happened a lot with Williams scores, especially Star Wars). For that matter, I wonder how much input (if any) that the Bond composers enjoyed when choosing the picks for the OST LPs. It seems like there was a lot of redundancy in the appearance of similar cues, especially on LPs like Octopussy and AVTAK, but then really lovely pieces would often be left out.

Some of the truncation was nice, creating little mini-suites, but it could be confusing if you wanted to hear the music as it appeared in the film.

For Skyfall, which is the track when Bond captures Silva and the helicopters fly over?

That’s "Boum Boum" by Charles Trenet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLBFeoikELo

The other track you hear from the helicopter, during the attack by Silva on Skyfall, is "Boom Boom" by The Animals.

No, that track ‘Boum’ by Charles Trenet is heard before Bond captures Silva. It is just before the shooting of Severine.

The track when Bond captures Silva isn’t on the Skyfall CD, and it wasn’t on the track list of the FYC either as it contains the James Bond Theme.

Hey guys,
Interesting topic, because I was watching DAD the other day on television and London Calling from The Clash is prominently present in the movie when 007 on the 747 flies back to London and before Gustav Graves makes his grand entrance at Buckingham Palace, but I never found it in any complete or expanded versions of the score…
Is there a reason for this or is it pure a copyright question?
Maybe it is already discussed here, but then I’m sure that I missed it … ๐Ÿ˜‰
OOSteven

As far as I can tell, any songs that were specifically commissioned for the film (ie. the songs on the License to Kill score and The Pretenders pieces in The Living Daylights), are licensed just for the film. I’m not sure how the royalties work with the films being re-released every couple of years. Maybe the Clash is making a killing off of that scene. Hard to say.

The Pretenders songs were composed specifically for The Living Daylights. Barry wrote the music to both and used motifs from them throughout the score.

My apologies. That should have read "…any songs that were commissioned." I’ve since corrected it.
Michael Kamen also helped write the Patti LaBelle and Tim Feehan songs for L.T.K.

Just watched Golden Gun again. Somewhat underrated but understandable why it’s ranked so low.

Christopher Lee saves the movie. The title song is so weak; Barry’s score is pretty good considering he had limited time to compose it. Roger Moore misses the mark. Still acting in Connery’s shadow in this one and it would take the next movie for him to come into his own.


Sean Barry
08-20-2016, 08:47 PM
I don’t understand this almost constant bashing the title song gets. To me ‘The Man With The Golden Gun’ will always be one of the more dynamic, dangerous and Bond title tunes highlitghted by Lulu’s refreshingly edgy and raw performance. Really captures the feel of the The Man With The Golden Gun/Scaramanga-character and imo much better compared to later sleepinducing 80’s schmaltz like ‘All Time High’.

I agree with Lee saving the film though. The shitty misogony and the writers reducing Mary Goodnight’s character to stupid eyecandy dates it all pretty badly imo.

Barry’s score to me is a bit uneven and repetitive while resembling tv music sometimes. But the time constraints he had to work under forgives that to some extent, I think.

I had to really search for Moonraker and The Man With The Golden Gun. Found an excellent Synth re-recording of TMWTGG score from the original Barry score sheet music with as much original backing as possible. Trying to find the link. Will post when I find it.

The Lulu song grew to me over time. I’ve come to join the "I’ve enjoyed it" bandwagon. It literally packs a punch and fits very well to Scaramanga’s character. Also, I loved the reprise at the end of the film, so slow and sensual and then it goes back to pack yet another punch.

Lee definitely saved the movie and I forgive pretty much everything else from the movie, as it was the ’70s after all. I agree with Barry’s score being uneven and sounding like television scores (especially of that era). Even Barry himself expressed disdain for this score and stating that it’s his least favorite and I quote: "It’s the one I hate most … it just never happened for me.". Who could blame him? He was under time constraints, so I forgive the score on that front.

Also, this was the Bond film that decided to ditch the electric guitar during the Gunbarrel and instead used an orchestral string arrangement, which sounds pretty good.

Oh that TMWTGG score is probably from the old expanded score. It’s one great re-recording of the missing pieces, cobbled with a very good DVD rip for some parts, such as the Gunbarrel.

Count me as one that loves this theme to TMWTGG. Love the song and Lulu’s fiesty voice on it. It’s probably the last Bond theme I liked for a good long while (scratching my head to think of another post TMWTGG theme I love). I’ve always loved the film TMWTGG since seeing it in the theaters when it was first released. Is it a perfect Bond film? No. But, I also don’t believe such a thing exists. So, just enjoy and remember the times each film was made.

I am pretty sure this is a slight misquote and I see it alot. I believe Barry was referring solely to the title song, and not the score. It was on a Channel 4 documentary in the UK about the best Bond songs, IIRC, and I am sure that is what he was referring to.

Interesting point. I often feel TMWAGG resembles a high budget TV film from the 70s more than it does a top notch theatrical release. The aspect ratio is constraining; TSWLM and MR actually looked epic and the cinematography did the locations justice. It also borrowed heavily from kung fu movie tropes although I like it when Bond is a fish out of water. Sherriff Pepper is humorous but it makes no sense that he would vacation in southeast asia. He is in the film for the sole purpose of adding comic relief to two action set pieces.

Despite the misogyny in golden gun, I think MR has one of the most misogynistic lines ever:

The origin of the string arrangement of the James Bond theme first appeared in the 1972 album "The Concert John Barry" Perhaps it was Barry trying something new when it came to the James Bond theme. If you can find it, I highly recommend it. It contains a wonderful Bond suite that the string version of the Bond theme can be heard on and it sound very similar to the Moonraker version. Unfortunately I can’t find the version on youtube, but this rescore video does use it, very nicely I might add.

I really need to pick up a copy of Burlingame’s book. I found this interesting article on the scoring of Moonraker. Appearently Barry had originally wanted to release a 2 LP album a la the Star Wars 1977 OST (what a shame we never got one). I also was not aware Kate Bush was approached to do the title, although I knew Sinatra was asked and Mathis was replaced by Bassey.

http://www.filmmusicnotes.com/john-barrys-james-bond-scores-part-4-of-6-moonraker/

Interesting how Moonraker, of all films, marks the dividing line between his brassier, more diverse early period and the later symphonic style featured heavily in Out of Africa and the majority of his late period scores. There were hints of him going that direction in scores like Golden Gun, Robin and Marian, The Deep and King Kong, but Moonraker is jarringly different and lusher than anything he’d scored up to that point.

Agreed. I love the lushness of the score. It’s very jarringly different from what he scored up to that point and I think that’s what makes John Barry one of my favorite composers right next to Goldsmith, Vangelis and Williams. He’s not afraid to try new things. For example, in "Majesty’s" he incorporated early synths onto the score and then that same year, he’s making a very orchestra heavy score for "The Lion In Winter" (which won him an Oscar and rightly so).

On "Moonraker", you have the "Cable Car Chase", the "Lazer [sic] Battle" and the amazing "Flight Into Space".

Also, Ken Adam’s sets really saved this movie.

Just watched Golden Gun again. Somewhat underrated but understandable why it’s ranked so low.

Christopher Lee saves the movie.

This is me with A View To A Kill. Underrated and understandable as to why it’s ranked low for Bond fans. In fact, it was this, Goldfinger, GoldenEye and The Living Daylights that I saw as my first Bond films growing up. (especially when they’re repeated on TBS for their usual Bond marathons. Now either AMC, ION, Cloo TV, SyFy or STARZ does Bond marathons)

Like how Christopher Lee saves Golden Gun, Christopher Walken and Grace Jones saves A View To A Kill, plus Duran Duran’s title song and John Barry’s score. I could put that score on repeat all week and never get tired of it.

Agreed. I love the lushness of the score. It’s very jarringly different from what he scored up to that point and I think that’s what makes John Barry one of my favorite composers right next to Goldsmith, Vangelis and Williams. He’s not afraid to try new things. For example, in "Majesty’s" he incorporated early synths onto the score and then that same year, he’s making a very orchestra heavy score for "The Lion In Winter" (which won him an Oscar and rightly so).

A bit o t maybe, but you by this mean John Williams also wasn’t afraid to try new things? If so, what scores come to mind for example?

Ohh Williams did new things indeed. Best examples are Jaws, Close Encounters and then his magnum opus, Star Wars.

Yeah, I should have elaborated/reworded that about John Barry (or any composers for the matter) delving onto new things. This is the result of not having coffee in the afternoon after a stressful day, haha!

Do you think Barry would have evolved it further if he’d scored Goldeneye?
Well, there’s reasonable chance Barry would’ve incorporated some contemporary elements into a new Bond score. It wouldn’t have been out of place for him, in the context of the series; let’s remember the synths in Moonraker, the screaming guitar in A View to a Kill, and the drum machine in The Living Daylights, not to mention the title songs, which reflected, to a greater or lesser degree, the musical trends of their times. On the other hand, we should keep in mind that Barry’s nineties scores are mostly all cut from the same cloth, and seem to represent a refinement and consolidation of the orchestral approach he started to develop in the mid to late seventies. Even more action-oriented scores like The Specialist and Mercury Rising fit into that mold. His scores in that period are the most homogeneous sounding of his entire oeuvre. I suppose it’s likely we would’ve gotten another score in that style: a bit more lively than The Specialist, because it’s Bond, but not something radically different from his other nineties work. It would’ve been something like The Living Daylights, with a few contemporary elements, but mostly same old same old.

Not that I would mind, even though I’d miss Eric Serra’s score!

"New" things is stretching it a bit, I think. Have you heard ‘The Rites of Spring’ by Igor Stravinsky, ‘Orb and Sceptre’ by Sir William Walton and ‘King’s Row’ by Erich Wolfgang Korngold from 1942? There’s an interesting comparison between Korngold’s theme for ‘King’s Row’ and Williams’ theme from ‘Star Wars’ here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V47enEvsafQ
Most of the music you mentioned are written in the vein of late 19th century’s large-scale orchestral music by the likes of Tchaikovsky or Richard Wagner and utilizing their concept of leitmotif, that also inspired Williams’ film music predecessors.

I’d call Williams a very skilled composer though who’ve created much memorable themes by refining and updating elements from his predessors. But he’ll never be as daring, radical or original as for example Ennio Morricone or John Barry imo.

I like to picture, or should say hear, a Barry scored Goldeneye sounding like a blend of The Specialist, Mercury Rising and Enigma. In fact if I had the editing experience and time to devote I would love to do an "isolated score" for the film using the best elements from each of those scores and pasting in the moviola bond theme where appropriate.

Did You Call Me would make a good Bondian love theme

Some elements from Ruby Cairo might work too

I agree. ‘Did You Call Me’ would definitely fit as a good Bondian theme.

On a different note, I’ve decided to revisit a score that’s actually on one of my frequently listened soundtracks (too long to mention, but in Bond’s case, it’s AVTAK and the one I’m going to talk about now):

Amazing score by Barry that packs a punch (especially the drum machine) and it’s quite a swan song from Barry to the Bond franchise. I also love the A-ha title song and the two songs from The Pretenders too. Of course I’m listening to the older expanded edition by KaFaraqGatri, but if you’re listening to the official remastered one from either Rykodisc or the 2003 EMI, keep in mind that there are some cues missing ("A Real Man", the film edit of the title song, "Why Didn’t You Learn the Violin?" and "Aboard Hercules"). Still, don’t let that get to you from enjoying one of my personal favorite Bond scores!

May I ask a very dull un-musical question about these collections please? (probably for OP KaFaraqGatri …)

Are they generally on sale amazon etc.? If not, where did they come from…?

Who originated accessing the original tapes and doing the selections, remastering etc.?

Which company published these and when – was it recently?

The cover artwork supplied with this – is it new artwork, or concocted by the poster?

Thanks so much if you have this info!!

What you might be referring to is the original versions of the sets the uploader made years ago before deciding to properly revise them here. You can be lucky in getting the older versions in FLAC, but it’s more ideal to get the ones here.

Yes, the current revisions are by far the best yet. Superior track edits and I like how some longer album versions of cues are split up. It’s also a pleasure to have the film order over the awkward album ordering of cues. Kendall tried to do this with some of the 2003 expansions but the record company lawyers blocked it.

For many years, this thread has been the go-to for all things Bond music, and I am eternally grateful.

I wondered – has anyone created a film version of the ‘Backfire’ track? It tends to go on a little longer and is remixed (sometimes rather oddly) in a different manner. Particularly when Bond jumps out the window and runs to his Aston and also just after Bond and Hinx clear the Vatican and take a hard left under an arch, before narrowly avoiding hitting a lorry.

If not, I’d like to try and create my own version. Does anyone know of any tools that could do this?

That actually sounds good, despite the SFX around 1:33-1:41. It’s still a great job and probably the next best thing we have for the film edit of "Bond 77/Ski Jump"

The Oscar-nominated score is a tricky one to edit, in my opinion. The best example is "The Pyramids". There’re too many sound effects to edit out, to the point that you have to utilize the soundtrack re-recording on top of the blu-ray rip, in order to make a seemless edit.

There was no way of getting the beginning or the 1.33 bit without sfx unfortunately. I think I boosted the bass, and to my tin ear this rerecorded track doesn’t sound too far off the movie track a lot of the time.

I view it as a temp track. It’s better than nothing, until someone expands the soundtrack.

If not "Movie Edit" what would you have called it?


suteki_da_ne0087
11-15-2016, 03:46 AM
"Diamonds are Forever" has got to be the strangest movie ever made. "Strange" in a sense that it feels out of place after the dark and grittiness of "Majesty’s". The year is 1971 and a film that premiered earlier starring Gene Hackman had all the grit and thrills that I think "Diamonds" should have incorporated, but it didn’t turn out that way. The film I’m talking about is "The French Connection" (though I don’t mind some elements of "Klute" on there too, but still honoring Ian Fleming’s original book and as a direct continuation to "Majesty’s" as a revenge story). Here we are in 1971 and pretty much every film was dark in the 70s, considering not just "The French Connection", but also films like "The Poseidon Adventure", "A Clockwork Orange", "Dirty Harry" and "Klute". With "Diamonds", I feel as if I’m watching a prototype Roger Moore film. Was this intentional? Did EON want us to forget the dark ending of "Majesty’s"? Was this meant to be a film to make us smile again, considering the fact that the news in our world was kinda bleak at the time with a certain war? Perhaps that’s the case why "Diamonds" is the way it is, as a certain film to make us escape from the bleakness of other Hollywood films and current world events at the time, but that’s just my guess.

The Bond girl, Tiffany, is written kinda odd? She starts out as a tough-as-nails type, but then turns into a ditz later on in the film, to the point that it’s kinda jarring. Charles Gray as Blofeld does nothing for me, especially after the performances of Donald Pleasance and Telly Savalas. Wint and Kidd as henchmen also do nothing for me either. Sean Connery seems bored in this film and lacks the charisma of his earlier films. This wasn’t the best swan song to end his Bond era ("Never Say Never Again" doesn’t count, as that’s not an EON film). This film is infamously known for its plotholes. EON shouldn’t have cut those vital scenes that didn’t make the cutting room floor…

The real "diamond" of this film is the film score. John Barry’s score is my desert island score that I don’t mind listening to over and over again without being tired of it ("Octopussy", "A View To A Kill", "Moonraker", "You Only Live Twice" and "The Living Daylights" are my other personal favorites of his). "Circus Circus" has got to be a gorgeous piece of music, as well as the Shirley Bassey title song…in fact pretty much everything about the score is brilliant (especially the piece of music that plays when Bond is at the crematorium). If MGM and EON gave their films to Twilight Time, I would listen to the isolated score track, though that’s wishful thinking, considering that there’s other rights issues to settle if we were to ever want an isolated score track.

I understand. It’s tricky with sfx. I think it’s good work, don’t get me wrong. It’s just that I really like that the movie version has more funky guitar and different keyboard work capturing the snowy winter feel of the scene, compared to the studio version imho. But I think your version is the best we get at this stage, as you point out. Your contribution is important and valid and I like it ๐Ÿ™‚

Since your track is a mix of music from the actual film soundtrack and the re-recorded studio version, I’d call it ‘Remix Edit’.

Does anyone know the CD "Merry Christmas 007" by The Reception Music Co., which contains the following Tracks:

1. Merry Christmas 007! (Radio Edit)
2. Call Me Hilly
3. Resignation
4. Ice Cavern/Irma La Not So Douce
5. The James Bond Theme

The Description:
Originally released by The Reception Music Co. four years before The Propellerheads ‘OHMSS’ single, and first launched in 1994 at the 007 MAGAZINE Christmas Lunch at Pinewood Studios attended by George Lazenby, some would say ‘Merry Christmas 007!’ was the inspiration. The CD, containing five tracks, which blends music and dialogue from one of the most exciting films in the James Bond series became a special limited edition run of only 500 copies.

Two of the tracks, ‘Call Me Hilly’, and ‘Ice Cavern’, were never released on the ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’ original soundtrack album, and were heard for the first time on this limited edition CD.

"This very innovative collectors’ CD was one of the first of its kind and is a must for all serious Bond collectors!" "The Reception Music Co. have been responsible for a number of Bond mixes, and this is definitely one of their best!"

Would love this one!

There was a segment of the original John Altman cue floating around at one point. Not the complete cue as heard in the film, but at this time the only surviving release of it. The Prague version is VERY close to what is heard in the film and I believe is the version Kafarq used for his Goldeneye expansion–trained ears might notice but otherwise it is good enough to serve as a placeholder until the full Altman cue is someday available.. Perhaps when LaLaLand expands the Bond Scores (in other words, never), then we’ll get the full length film version cue in remastered form.

I am pretty sure I have the Altman cue in mp3 (not great quality) and it’s a couple minutes long. I will try to upload this at some point unless someone else has it available.

Does anyone know the CD "Merry Christmas 007" by The Reception Music Co., which contains the following Tracks:

1. Merry Christmas 007! (Radio Edit)
2. Call Me Hilly
3. Resignation
4. Ice Cavern/Irma La Not So Douce
5. The James Bond Theme

The Description:
Originally released by The Reception Music Co. four years before The Propellerheads ‘OHMSS’ single, and first launched in 1994 at the 007 MAGAZINE Christmas Lunch at Pinewood Studios attended by George Lazenby, some would say ‘Merry Christmas 007!’ was the inspiration. The CD, containing five tracks, which blends music and dialogue from one of the most exciting films in the James Bond series became a special limited edition run of only 500 copies.

Two of the tracks, ‘Call Me Hilly’, and ‘Ice Cavern’, were never released on the ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’ original soundtrack album, and were heard for the first time on this limited edition CD.

"This very innovative collectors’ CD was one of the first of its kind and is a must for all serious Bond collectors!" "The Reception Music Co. have been responsible for a number of Bond mixes, and this is definitely one of their best!"

I’ve never heard of this so would be really interested to hear the two additional OHMSS tracks, as it’s probably my favourite score.

Also I’m sure I have two mp3s hanging around somewhere for the brief bits of background music I call "The Ice Rink" and "Oompah Band" (for want of better titles) but was wondering if anyone could offer quality versions of these? Sorry if this has already been covered here!

I combined the two, IIRC. I felt it best to use as much of the film’s original music as possible.

That John Altman cue was for the middle section of the tank chase. I think JackBauer1 was talking about the cue when Bond arrives in Russia and meets Jack Wade. That cue isn’t available anywhere. All I have is a DVD rip for that one.

You know what’s good about this year for Bond fans?

KaFaraqGatri gave us the expanded scores "Goldfinger", "From Russia With Love", "The Man With The Golden Gun", "SPECTRE" and "For Your Eyes Only".

The main Bond actors (Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton, Brosnan and Craig) are still with us, as of writing.

The Bad? We’ve lost Louis Jourdan (Kamal Khan in "Octopussy"), Ken Adam (set designer), Guy Hamilton (director for "Goldfinger", "Diamonds Are Forever", "Live and Let Die", "The Man With The Golden Gun") and George Martin (composer for "Live and Let Die").

A VIEW TO A KILL is now posted. A few notes about this:

I’m of the opinion that DVD rips of unreleased music don’t really cut it, especially when the music is of poorer quality than the surrounding material. I will, however, include such rips if I feel an album is lacking without them (e.g. the gunbarrels on Octopussy and GoldenEye) or when an isolated score track is available (e.g. Goldfinger, Tomorrow Never Dies). So the focus in this thread has really always been more on chronological ordering, improved sound sources (mastering from higher-than-CD resolution when such sources are available) and including little bonus tracks where possible (e.g. the 12" remix on A View to a Kill, special film edits, demos that were missing from the commercial soundtracks, etc.).

In short, the expanded version of A VIEW TO A KILL doesn’t have a lot of extra stuff on it, but I feel it works better in chronlogical order with a couple of extra bonus tracks at the end (there’s also none of the hiss that plagued the 2003 remastered release of the score). It’s likely that the rest of the remaining scores will follow a similar presentation.

I know, I have considered it. Thing is, most of them have no need for notes or background info (and I suspect most people aren’t really bothered). With so few releases left to go, I don’t think I will add anything to the first page right now. Maybe once they are all done.

I don’t think it is possible for the Helicopter Crash. What Memorabilia posted was easily the best rip I’ve heard of that section. But where there are explosions on all of the DVD sound channels then you can’t extract the music. You’d need someone to do a re-recording.

I think I’ve got a version of the Iceberg music that I did ages ago. I don’t think it’s that great, with sound effects spoiling the quality.

On a random, but still Bond topic, 2017 is a big year in Bond history for many reasons:

– Bond turns 55, which in turn means that Dr. No turns 55

– The Living Daylights turns 30

– Tomorrow Never Dies turns 20

– You Only Live Twice turns 50

– Die Another Day turns 15

– The Spy Who Loved Me turns 40

– Sir Roger Moore turns 90 (!)

I’m a bit puzzled about Gobinda Attacks (Movie version) though. Did you rip that from the Blu Ray or is it a mix of the album soundtrack and the score as heard in the film?
I noticed that the build up with the strings, right before the James Bond Theme (during the company car chase) starts, isn’t present in any of the versions of the film I’ve seen. Would be interesting if you’d like to share info on this?

It was just a remix of the soundtrack cue. I added in an extra shot of the Bond theme, as per the film. The string build up is in the film, but is a little bit before the chase starts. It’s straight after the casino scene ends. It is dialled down low in the film, and now that I’ve watched that bit again they actually fade the strings a bit earlier that on the soundtrack.

Ok. Thanks for clearing that out. I watched that bit too and noticed that the very last note, when all the strings kind of "hammer" intensly, isn’t heard in the film. Or maybe that’s just me? If it isn’t ,it’s a shame it isn’t in the film, since it adds a lot to the overall impact, I think. I can see why you kept it in though.

Have you thought about doing a rips for the remaining cues not available on the soundtrack album by the way if that’s possible? Your work so far easily show what you can do. Cues like Welcome to Delhi, Gunbarrel/A load of bull, Acrostar and Egghunt is sorely missed imho.

I like all of those cues too, however I think gkgyver did his rerecordings of those ones, and they are pretty accurate.

At the moment I am still tinkering with the Tiger Helicopter track from Goldeneye. I am totally limited to what is on the DVD, so it might be a bit of a lost cause. However the best version I can see on youtube is this one – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDEHkogdr1s and so far I’ve managed to get rid of most of the sfx, so to me it seems a lot better.

I’ll have a look at them, but my guess is I’m probably not going to come up with anything different to you. I mess about with the DVD tracks generally.

gkgyver was using the DVD audio tracks and augmenting them with synths. That’s probably about as good as anyone is going to do without doing a professional rerecording with an orchestra.

I think "Welcome to Delhi" is about as good as it can be. Gunbarrel, Acrostar and Egghunt are full of fx, so I haven’t been able to get anywhere with them. I also looked at the "Checkpoint Charlie" cue and that was full of fx. All of those are better as gkgyver did them.

The only Octopussy track I managed to get free of fx recently was this one – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tD-3FnAfuo

I have a version of Call Me James, but it suffers from hiss and the wind sound effect is still present at the beginning of the track, but the speech and other sfx are absent. I think it’s ripped from the rear surrounds. In case it’s of any use to you, here it is (https://www.sendspace.com/file/cve7rz).

There was a segment of the original John Altman cue floating around at one point. Not the complete cue as heard in the film, but at this time the only surviving release of it. The Prague version is VERY close to what is heard in the film and I believe is the version Kafarq used for his Goldeneye expansion–trained ears might notice but otherwise it is good enough to serve as a placeholder until the full Altman cue is someday available.. Perhaps when LaLaLand expands the Bond Scores (in other words, never), then we’ll get the full length film version cue in remastered form.

I am pretty sure I have the Altman cue in mp3 (not great quality) and it’s a couple minutes long. I will try to upload this at some point unless someone else has it available.

I see, thank you ๐Ÿ™‚

Or Shirley Bassey’s "No Good About Goodbye", written by David Arnold, which uses several musical phrases from his "Quantum of Solace" score, and features the word "Solace" in the lyrics.

It’s not technically a "rejected theme", since it wasn’t finished and submitted in time, but still.

It was never rejected, because it was never written for the film at all. Arnold took a riff from the film, and expanded it for Bassey after the film was completed and released. The ‘rejected for QOS’ meme for this song, great as the song is, is one that just won’t go away.

In an interview with MI6-HQ, Arnold confirmed that it WAS being worked on for the film — but that only a few lines of the song were written and it was far from complete by the time Jack White and Alicia Keys were chosen to perform "Another Way To Die." When he was asked to produce Shirley Bassey’s new album, "The Performance", Arnold teamed up with lyricist Don Black to finish the song for her specifically.

So it was being noodled around, based on his QOS score, but not completed, and not submitted. It was resurrected and finished, post-film, specifically for Bassey.

Is this an early April Fools Day Joke? It’s a well known fact (check Wikipedia, imdb.com or any serious Bond book like ‘The World of 007’) Sean Connery made 6 official Bond films from 1962 to 1971 (7 if you count the non EON-film ‘Never Say Never Again’ from 1983). Craig only appeared in 4 films. Brosnan played Bond from 1995 to 2002. I usually don’t care but this was just too wrong and silly to go unnoticed.

This. So much this.

As soon as I saw the whole "Daniel Craig is now the 2nd longest serving Bond", I literally had to take a double-take.

I was going to add on to the original post as to how Twitter and big news outlets such as AV Club really need to check their facts. Then again, we’re unsure of the fate of the Bond series, due to the mixed reception of "SPECTRE" and our current political climate. We’re still unsure if Daniel Craig’s signed up to play Bond again and at this point, he’s currently 48 years old.

It isn’t wrong though, they are just choosing how they calculate it – from first appearance to last. Roger is on 12 years, Craig 9, Sean 9.

You have to remember that the amount of years it takes to make films count as well. Though it is indeed correct from the films only perspective that Connery beats both Brosnan and Craig. Still, both are valid.

If Spectre is his last, he’s tied wth Connery, at least in my mind. If Craig returns for another film than he will be tied with Moore, most likely, as EoN plans for 2018 release for the next installment, which would put Craig at 12 years. Kind of sad that he’d have only made 5 in that many years. They really churned them out back in the day, whereas now, 3 to 4 year intervals are the norm. If you got a mediocre Bond in the "golden era," no matter! There’d be a new one 2 years later (exception being the 3 year gap between Golden Gun and TSWLM).

I don’t really count days worked, since even during their off time, the actors were still contractually bound. I think of it like senators and congressmen, who only serve a certain number of days per year but are still considered senators and congressmen.

Also, I’m not sure if this is an urban myth, but I seem to remember reading that Bond actors at one point were not allowed to appear in a tuxedo in any non-Bond media gigs while contractually obligated to the franchise. Would be great if someone could confirm or debunk this.

Fair enough. Another perspective is ‘quality’ or how a person defines ‘quality’. I know some people won’t agree, but to me a chart on what actor who has worked the longest as a fantasy figure like 007 James Bond is a bit pointless really.
All I care about is watching something worthwhile, special and unique that stands apart from the rest of the regular action films.

Bond films up until approx 1987 was that, but from 1989 everything gradually went downhill in my view.

What used to set The Bond films apart from other Spy/Secrect Agent stuff was that it never took it self too seriously. Sure, there was a cold war pretext and all that, but the unique thing about Bond movies was that 007 was so exaggerated in his dry wit, womanizing, use of unbelievable gadgets.
And the villains with their fantastic evil plots of world domination, the weapons, headqarters and henchmen/woman. Too over the top to be taken as "serious" action films. And you always knew how it was going to end.
Seriously? Where’s the thrill in that?
Maybe it’s the just me or is it because these unsure and unstable times, that so many of us need Bond as comfort? Something we know that feels safe?
I get philophical, I know, but that’s me. Take it or leave it.

The only real value the Bond films has, for some of us nowadays, are to look for something about the state of manhood, sexuality and maybe, if we’re lucky, some comments on the state of society and the world today.

Other than that it’s getting more and more boring and tiresome for each film to be honest.

I’m sorry if I sound old and sour, but truth is I’m getting more and more convinced that time has come to move on.

I might stick around the series a while longer for sheer curiosity’s sake that maybe somehow something surprising happens though, so ‘Never Say Never Again’ ๐Ÿ˜‰

The "Days as James Bond" statistics actually refer to each actor’s "reign" as James Bond. So it’s NOT how many films, and NOT how long from first film until last (Dalton would be only around 700 days if it were, the two years between TLD and LTK), it’s how long each actor was the OFFICIAL INCUMBENT of the role.

The reign as the incumbent James Bond runs from the day they are announced by EON as the new Bond until the day the next Bond is announced (so for example, Dalton’s reign runs from his casting in 1986 until Brosnan’s casting in 1994). Even if "Spectre" turns out to be Craig’s last movie, he is still the current James Bond until his replacement is announced, and is continuing to rack up days on his total.

[And about the "no appearances in tux outside of Bond" business mentioned above; Pierce Brosnan said it’s bollocks!]

Well, Craig isn’t the current James Bond because his contract finished with Spectre surely. At the moment there is no actor playing James Bond until its been announced. Such gaps between contracts shouldn’t be accounted for should they?

And this is why I think number of films should be the standard for how long a Bond has served in the role. Connery has fewer years total but he is the only Bond to not take years off in between films (Dr. No through Thunderball were made over four years without a year in-between). Dalton gained five years because of a lawsuit against Eon Productions and did not even star in a final film as an end cap to his time in the mantle. This makes years in the role pretty much meaningless. I think number of films is the best way to go because it shows the actor’s contribution to the role. Moore and Connery would be both tied at seven (totally counting NSNA), Brosnan and Craig at four, Dalton at two, and Lazenby at one. As much as I admire Craig’s time in the role, he’s only given us four movies in twice the time it took Brosnan to give us four. Considering two of Craig’s movies were mediocre, I don’t think an argument of "well his movies need more time to make more quality" is legitimate. Craig, you’ve had the role for a long time, I would like to have seen more Bond movies during that time…like maybe six…

In unrelated news, I can’t wait for The Spy Who Loved Me to get posted. It would be amazing to have a proper version of Ride to Atlantis and Bond ’77 without SFX!

I agree. No reason to reinvent the wheel with a tried and true formula, especially in the Bond series, where there was never much emphasis on the arc or development. Sure the occasional slight deviation is fun, i.e. OHMSS and License to Kill, but even those followed a basic formula and Bond was Bond. I think now the producers have feminized him a bit too much. It’s one thing to have him be complex and brooding a la Dalton, but another thing to cast aside the very masculinity that is central to the character’s appeal.

I’m all for cinema evolving, but I tend to be more of a traditionalist when it comes to classic franchises like Bond and Star Wars. There’s certain parameters that need to be in place, as Bond is essentially the McDonalds of action movies. People want what they want when they see a Bond film. I feel Craig has been a letdown overall and it’s time for them to return to basics. Broccoli and Wilson need to step aside.

I’ve never seen official confirmation of that myth. It wouldn’t surprise me if this sort of clause were in the contract back in the days of Connery and Lazenby when the producers seemed to practically own the actors, but IIRC, didn’t Moore appear in tuxedo in Cannonball Run, whilst still contracted as Bond?

It’s one thing to have him be complex and brooding a la Dalton, but another thing to cast aside the very masculinity that is central to the character’s appeal.

This. Absolutely this.

I really want Bond to just go back to basics and not to be overly feminized. I think this is to appeal to the female filmgoers or the politically correct generation who just wants to romanticize a suave and charming hero like Bond, but if they go back to the Fleming novels, the early Connery films, Moore’s "The Man with the Golden Gun" or that scene where Dalton’s Bond forcefully tore a woman’s clothes off in order to use her as a decoy to distract a bad guy in "The Living Daylights", they’ll be disappointed. Granted, we can’t have this Bond now, especially considering who’s leading the US right now (which is one of the bigger problems EON is facing as to how to make a current Bond movie now in terms of how Bond Villain he is and the infamous hot tape that leaked…the list goes on).

This goes way back to GoldenEye, a film where you have Moneypenny talking about sexual harassment in the workplace or Judi Dench’s M saying how Bond is sexist. EON really wanted to keep up with the changing times. (on top of that, the Cold War ended and Bond was seen as a relic of the past, so EON had to strategically get Bond to the current changing times.)

To keep it brief, I want a Fleming Bond a la Dalton, but I highly highly doubt we’ll see this soon.

My point was I’m tired of Bond as a pop cultural phenomenon. The McDonalds comparison is valid though. Fast junkfood sweetned and drained of real nutriotion to keep you satisfied for a short while. Until you realize it makes you empty and sick and longing for something more worth while food for thought.
It only makes me feel empty and shallow. So frankly I couldn’t care less. The world and times as a whole have moved on wether we like it or not. Let’s face it: The 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 1990’s and 2000’s are gone. Times change, people change. Deal with it.

Barry’s music on the other hand is timeless and so good it stands alone. I wouldn’t say the same about George Martin’s, Monty Norman’s and Bill Conti’s scores, but they at least add something personal and I listen to them sometimes.

Brosnan, Haggis, Arnold and Craig was the last straw for me.

Funny. The only thing I liked about Craig’s portrayal was how how he dared to show a more vulnurable, vain, "feminine" side to the Bond character. Pretty brave and refreshing move by him and, I suspect, Paul Haggis imo.

There are some gems, though that makes it worth listening on both. I listen to "The Living Daylights", "Octopussy", "Diamonds Are Forever" and "A View To A Kill" a lot more. "You Only Live Twice" also has gorgeous music that I love to listen to a lot (especially "Capsule In Space". Barry can work wonders with gorgeous space music. Same goes for "Moonraker" with "Flight Into Space" and the "Space Lazer [sic] Battle".)

George Martin, Monty Norman, Bill Conti, Marvin Hamlisch, Michael Kamen, Thomas Newman, Eric Sera and David Arnold are one of those scores I can’t stay they’re timeless as well, but they’ve added something different to the franchise. Bill Conti’s one of my favorite Bond composers and his score for "For Your Eyes Only" grew to me. Marvin Hamlisch has his moments and I can hear why it was nominated for the 1978 Oscars for Best Score (despite what’s heard on the film is different from the soundtrack, as the soundtrack is a re-recording with some cues that aren’t even in the movie, such as "Anya"). Thomas Newman is…..okay (I know I’m going to be killed for that). I like some bits, especially when Bond enters the Casino and you hear the "Skyfall" theme. Loved his work on "SPECTRE".

Eric Sera, I know I’m going to sound controversial here, but I love his score for "GoldenEye", especially John Altman’s tank cue.

Michael Kamen’s the one that I really lean towards indifferent. It’s not a score that has grown on me, though I do love the "Gunbarrel". I think it’s one of those scores that work best with the film, not on its own, I think. (I don’t know how to describe the feeling.)

David Arnold on the other hand, I love "Tomorrow Never Dies", "Casino Royale" and "The World Is Not Enough". That’s about it.

This. Absolutely this.

I really want Bond to just go back to basics and not to be overly feminized. I think this is to appeal to the female filmgoers or the politically correct generation who just wants to romanticize a suave and charming hero like Bond, but if they go back to the Fleming novels, the early Connery films, Moore’s "The Man with the Golden Gun" or that scene where Dalton’s Bond forcefully tore a woman’s clothes off in order to use her as a decoy to distract a bad guy in "The Living Daylights", they’ll be disappointed. Granted, we can’t have this Bond now, especially considering who’s leading the US right now (which is one of the bigger problems EON is facing as to how to make a current Bond movie now in terms of how Bond Villain he is and the infamous hot tape that leaked…the list goes on).

This goes way back to GoldenEye, a film where you have Moneypenny talking about sexual harassment in the workplace or Judi Dench’s M saying how Bond is sexist. EON really wanted to keep up with the changing times. (on top of that, the Cold War ended and Bond was seen as a relic of the past, so EON had to strategically get Bond to the current changing times.)

To keep it brief, I want a Fleming Bond a la Dalton, but I highly highly doubt we’ll see this soon.

—-

I’m curious about this too (since I’m excited about which ones will be posted next), but like all good things, we have to be patient. ๐Ÿ™‚

It’ll be a shame if Bond continues to turn into a pale shade of Fleming’s original creation – all in the name of political correctness.
The Goldeneye examples you shared were well executed because Bond stayed to form and faced criticism for it. One hopes EON would spring back to this approach.

Additionally, there are many more real life Bond villains that are far more interesting in today’s age – exhibiting less buffoonery in favor of more sinister methods.
Glimpses this past year of a world shadow government, the increasing control of information by the powerful, and an increasing number of undermined regimes these past years by the CIA and similar agencies create an atmosphere suitable for the world of Fleming’s Bond. Albeit, these topics are unlikely to make their way to the Silver Screen.

I enjoy your posts, suteki_da_ne0087.

Does anyone have the short cue from AVATK where General Gogol confronts zorin at the race track . I think it is called "physiological freak"? I spotted it on a

This one would have sound fx over the end of it.

Also does anyone have and can add the short cue as well when Bond and his assistant are going in their car heading towards Zorin’s huge Estate? And can add this as well? hgohari73

I think the mission impossible saga with tom cruise its showing how it should be done to Bond. Ive had more fun watching the rogue nation movie than watching any daniel craig bond. I know critics rave about sam mendes movies, but he took away one of the greatest things Bond movies had: playfulness and silly entertainment

Lets be honest, Im a big bond fan, but the bond series is made for people who want to live that lifestyle vicariously, with the hot women, the danger, the thrill and the incredible scenarios. It was never a mature action movie for intellectuals, it was a silly wank fantasy thart overgrown babies like myself immensely enjoy. I personally dont remember almost anything about any of the daniel craig movies, I find him and the movies completely forgettable, and the worst thing, I didnt have any fun watching any of them.

THANK YOU. I couldn’t agree more on the bolded. Even the Dalton Bonds had that playfullness, albeit toned down considerably. Yet I find lines and moments in License to Kill that still arouse a chuckle from me. This series was never intended to take itself too seriously. There was always a bit of self-awareness and self parody. And Mendes, while a really talented director, doesn’t seem to understand or care for that.

This is why I’m not always sure an auteur is the best fit for the 007 series. Maybe someone like Spielberg could’ve done it in his younger days, as he brought a similar sense of fun and self parody to the Indiana Jones series, but Mendes is just too serious and his preferred tone doesn’t work for this series.

Personally, while I’d hesitate to say Spectre is a film built on playful and silly entertainment, I’d definitely say it has its fair share of playful and silly entertainment.

Skyfall, clearly not. But Quantum of Solace wasn’t dissimilar to it.

Spielberg would’ve been an awesome bond director

Ive always thought the bond series was great at several things: bond girls (with very few exceptions, they’ve always been very hot), music (eric serra aside), gadgets, exotique scenarios, silliness and a few other things, but picking directors was not its forte IMO. Spielberg would’ve been a perfect fit. Mendes wasnt. not disputing his quality as a filmmaker, but all this praise for his action sequences and I’m not in love with them, I dont remember them. I just dont think he was the ideal suit for a series that required a self deprecating macho approach with a firm handling of the action scenes.

Im on the fence about craig too, not sure if the blame should go to the script, filmmaker or if he should also take some of the criticism. He seems so effin serious, but I admit, I find roger moores bond hilarious and admirable. He did have the macho approach like connery, but he wasnt a bully, and hes far wittier than connery, very suave too. connery is the most imposing of all the bonds, and Im sure the most attractive for females, but Moore, dalton and brosnam were for me the most likeable, particularly moore and dalton. Brosnam was in the best bond movies in my opinion, despite perhaps not being the best bond, some of those were genuinely terrific action movies, thats why I felt such a breaking when after those brosnam movies we were treated to such a serious approach. Sure it had its funny moments here and there, or rather, it tried to, but it felt contrived, and it wasnt the general tone of the movie, like octopussy (not a very good example, that one is perhaps too much tongue in cheek, but bond movies were never serious, and the few that were, were the worse)

Looks like someone had time on their hands because I’ve discovered a fan-made video of someone syncing Barry’s music to "GoldenEye".
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-0VT9TSes8

How about that? Mixing Barry’s score for "The Specialist" with the gunbarrel to "The Living Daylights". (at least to my ears because "The Living Daylights" is my favorite Bond score, period and I listen to that on repeat because it’s that good)

I love Eric Serra’s score, but for a fan to put in Barry is a "what-if" kind of situation had Barry returned to actually make his Swan Song for the franchise right before David Arnold took over for the rest of Brosnan’s run. However, I think "The Living Daylights" was his Swan Song for the franchise. He packed a lot of energy, heart (ironic, considering the frozen heart in the film) and soul into that score. I don’t blame him for not wanting to do "GoldenEye".

This is one great fan edit and I applaud the person who did this.

It’s an edited version of the James Bond theme John Barry recorded in 1972 for the album "The Concert: John Barry." It’s part of a long 14 minute suite. It’s actually the first time Barry did that orchestral arrangement of the theme synonymous with the Roger Moore Bond films.

Anaximander
04-07-2017, 03:06 AM
The concert John Barry is a phenomenal album. That ‘gunbarrel’ arrangement is very similar to the version in moonraker whereas the version in TMWTGG seems to blend the concert version with the earlier 60s version’s persussive elements. The 80s versions are descended from the concert version but seem a little more full of life; that said there’s a nice reverb from the live recording that isn’t really present on the film versions of the gunbarrel music. I think moonraker is my favorite arrangement of the gunbarrel music, overall, followed by OHMSS as a close second with the daring use of early analog synthesizers.

that album also features an interesting arrangement of Midnight Cowboy that can’t be heard elsewhere, as it seems later recordings hewed closer to the original soundtrack version. And a nice version of Mary Queen of Scots, a theme that wouldn’t be out of place as a Bond love theme.

Yes. Lines like "Wee-ha! I’ve never done that before!" and "Neither did I" between James and Moore are what I remember most from Golden Gun. We need more good humour and weirdness in the Bond movies imho. And music. I’m looking at YOU Kafaraq, hehe ๐Ÿ˜‰

This reminds me that one of my guilty pleasure Bond films is "Moonraker". Yes, it’s silly and it’s "The Spy Who Loved Me" but with space and not underwater, but it’s fun. What makes this movie worth it is Ken Adam’s set design, John Barry’s score and Shirley Bassey’s title song.

Also, who’s going to see that Hulu biopic on George Lazenby called "Becoming Bond"? It looks hilarious! You have to feel bad for the man though because while he’s stiff in the role, he has his moments (especially at the end). He’s right there with Dalton as Bond (though Dalton has *years* of acting experience, both on stage and screen, before landing the role of Bond 30 years ago compared to Lazenby.), they both never got their feet wet with another film to show their full potential as Bond and they’re literally a footnote in Bond history. (in Dalton’s case and we all know that if a Bond actor does a third film, it’s better than their other two and who knows if Dalton’s third film could rival that of the great "Licence to Kill"? With Lazenby, who knows if "Diamonds Are Forever" would be dark and not Roger Moore era-esque with it’s humor? We’ll never know…)

There’s a certain haziness and beauty to that film, and while I can objectively recognize it as highly flawed, it stands as one of my favorites and possibly my favorite Moore era film. Technically FYEO is Moore’s best Bond, but it falls flat for me, and I think TSWLM, Moonraker, and Octopussy are the definitve Moore trium

Also, who’s going to see that Hulu biopic on George Lazenby called "Becoming Bond"? It looks hilarious!

With Lazenby, who knows if "Diamonds Are Forever" would be dark and not Roger Moore era-esque with it’s humor? We’ll never know…)

I wasn’t aware of the Lazenby documentary but I’d like to see it. I hope it does him some justice. I’ve always felt he is too unfairly treated and had he not been a moron and instead signed a contract for 6 or 7 films, he would’ve grown as an actor and been the second coming of connery. Suppose Connery was canned after Dr. No. Does anyone think he’d be as highly regarded? He’d probably be remembered as that rough, cold blooded Scot. We forget he didn’t really become the Bond we remember him as until Goldfinger, where the coldbloodedness was toned down and he became a more tongue in cheek playboy.

I have no doubt Dalton would’ve been more highly regarded had he been given the chance to do a third and fourth film. I think Goldeneye was initially written before the producers were sure he wasn’t returning, so the tone is somewhat more like a Dalton style than the other Brosnans which feel like a hybrid of the best elements of Connery and Moore. Dalton’s Goldeneye with a Barry score is my dream.

What I love is the fact that the southern good ole’ boy goes on vacation to Southeast Asia and then spends part of his time shopping for a new car at the AMC showroom.

I always wondered how he intended to get the car shipped home and why it wouldn’t be more convenient to shop for one in the states. I think the trip was his wife’s idea. He was just killing time with a reminder of the good ol’ US of A

I go back and forth on my favorites. I used to think Goldfinger was definitive but I recently gave thunderball another chance (I never liked that one) and found myself enjoying it more. Sure it’s where the series started to stretch credibility and gadgetry outweighed story, but it has a certain charm and it feels like a real event. I’ve also never been super fond of Spy (it’s a middling film in the series, not terrible, not stellar, on par with Tomorrow Never Dies, in my opinion), I think the girl, main villain, and disco-tinged score ruin it for me. I will take Goodhead, Drax and Barry over Stromberg, Anya and Hamlisch any day.

I like Newman as a Bond composer but I would like to see Arnold or a new composer given a shot. Arnold was just getting interesting with QoS

This Die Another Day retrospective more or less sums up my thoughts on Brosnan

http://www.denofgeek.com/movies/die-another-day/37190/james-bond-007-revisiting-die-another-day

Pierce Brosnan will always be the ‘what if’ Bond. What if his tenure had built on Goldeneye rather than fallen away from it? What if he was gifted a script such as Licence To Kill or Casino Royale, the two films that came immediately before and after him? What if Pierce was placed, just once, at the centre of proceedings; rather than playing second fiddle to cars, action and gadgets. Pierce made one much loved film, Goldeneye – but every other Bond made a better one. Considering the talent of the man that’s a sobering thought.

But there exist many caveats. Brosnan carried his films in a way no other Bond has had to do. With a weak Bond, none of his films, including Goldeneye, are strong enough to work regardless – in the way On Her Majesty’s Secret Service transcends the game but miscast George Lazenby. Meanwhile both Dalton and Moore required scripts that played to their very different strengths. In some ways Brosnan was too good a fit. The writers could shun Bond the character and focus on the fripperies because they knew Brosnan would shine regardless. Perhaps this is merely the fanboy talking…

But while it’s easy to scorn all the whizzbang in the cold light of Craig, remember that Craig only exists due to Brosnan. All four of his films were huge box office – giving the franchise the creative freedom to experiment with Casino Royale. If Casino Royale failed, well, back we go to the gadgets. But if Goldeneye failed, after a six year hiatus, after the commercial and critical failure of Dalton (posterity has been kind to Timothy, rightly, but it wasn’t always thus), nearly 30 years since the last genuine blockbuster that was The Spy Who Loved Me, if the first post-Cold War Bond fell flat on its arse – well, the future would have looked pretty bleak.

I couldn’t agree more that his potential was wasted, his talent squandered. But he also saved the series. I think he’s unfairly regarded by some because he made 2 middling films and one awful film, but he did his best with what he was given to work with. I feel similarly about Moore. Great actor who could hit the dramatic high notes, but the producers and Moore himself ruined it by insisting on upping the humor factor with double taking pidgeons and stupid sight gags that felt like leftovers from a Pink Panther film or Cannonball Run. Bond humor should be subtle and edgy, not smacking the viewer over the head with slapstick and lowbrow fuckery.

There’s a version of Die Another Day "out there" (called "Beyond The Ice", if memory serves) that removes all the unnecessary nonsense from the movie (such as the invisible car) and renders it a much more satisfying and less cringeworthy experience. Has anyone else seen it?

To remove all nonsense from that one you have to burn all existing copies and original reels ๐Ÿ˜‰

Maybe an atypic choice as a theme song composer for a Bond movie, nonetheless "You know my name" was the perfect song for Casino Royale and its boost and resurrection of the Bond film series…

I really loved that Bond theme. Both the theme and the film really revived the franchise after "Die Another Day" nearly killed Bond. (definitely not a way to start a major anniversary of a franchise with a bang. "Skyfall" did much better on that aspect, both in the theme song and the film itself and so did "The Living Daylights" as well.)

RIP Chris Cornell. He’ll be missed.

I don’t think it’s a terrible film. I think the first half or so is decent and feels more like a serious Bond film (similar to Moonraker leading up to that ridiculous Venice boat chase). I think it goes off the rails right around the point of Madonna’s cameo. The producers were trying to top everything that had come before because it was the 40th anniversary AND the 20th film, when they could’ve made a more serious film that would have both allowed Brosnan to exit on a high note and been worthy of the anniversary spectacle. I think Brosnan does a really great job with the script he was given, it’s just not strong material. I understand the buffet feeling they were going for in trying to capture elements of each previous film, but it makes for an uneven film with no identity. It’s an anomaly in the franchise, but not a good anomaly like OHMSS, which at least had a distinct and unified tone.

I do, as it’s one of my favorite title songs from the film. The film itself is underrated too.

While I won’t hold my breath, I do hope there’s something special for the 30th anniversary of that film. (that and the 40th anniversary of "The Spy Who Loved Me" and the 55th anniversary of the franchise as a whole. Yes, there’s also the 15th anniversary of "Die Another Day", the 50th anniversary of "You Only Live Twice" and the 20th anniversary of "Tomorrow Never Dies" to consider as well)

*gasp*! That means you don’t love "Goldfinger", "The Spy Who Loved Me", "The World Is Not Enough" and "Skyfall". I’m kidding! ๐Ÿ˜€ To each their own. ๐Ÿ™‚

"Goldfinger", "The Spy Who Loved Me" and "Skyfall" are the good ones, though, again, to each their own. I know some who’ve felt that "Skyfall" is too overrated and that Thomas Newman’s score for that film wasn’t their favorite. I personally felt that "The World Is Not Enough" is underrated, though it has its faults but still manages to be entertaining with a good mix of story (especially the twists), action and silly good fun all around.

http://i.imgur.com/pGjBH12.gif

Me personally Skyfall is half a good movie… the first half, the second half just becomes a Dark Knight wannabe with Silva???s plot just becoming nonsense and full of coincidences. Thomas Newmans score annoyed the hell out of me at first but now I love it…. alot better than his Spectre score

The mess that is Die Another Day lays firmly at the feet of the director…The original script was awesome… gritty……. based on the Moonraker novel…… EON should???ve reigned him in but he just went nuts and let him do whatever he wanted……. like speed ramping, shitty CGI… He tried to Michael Bay a bond movie….. Pierce Brosnan is my favourite Bond hands down…… The best no but he???s my Bond

Agreed. A bit uneven imho though. On the plusside: The last John Barry soundtrack and good chemistry between D’Abo and Dalton. Good support from Rhys Davies and Malik. Funny and exciting stunts.

Minuses: Weak villains. Necros aside. His line "Help him or I kill you both" makes me laugh for the wrong reason, if you know what I mean?

As for the anniversaries: Who knows? But I won’t hold mine either.

The first Bond I saw at 7 years old was "The Spy Who Loved Me". I discovered myself a real passion for the James Bond character even if I was terrified when I saw Jaws for the first time.

It was the beginning of a real passion for James Bond (the characters, the girls, the movies, the soundtracks etc…).

Even though Sean Connery will remain for many the eternal James Bond, for me it will remain Roger Moore.

Thanks you for everything Mr Moore.

RIP. :'(

The Man With The Golden Gun

The Scores I Don’t Like
Dr. No (yeah it was the first film and it was from this score that we got the theme for Bond, but the rest of the score does nothing for me.)

Exactly why I won’t hold my breath.

Who knows? Either way the true film version is the only one I’m interested in. Even if you get close, you can never replicate the same exact raw feel and time period vibe as in the original track. Somehow it will always sound too clean, updated and out of context with the rest of the original music imo.
It’s a bit like watching an airbrushed copy of an old classic painting in a way: Sure it looks clear and beautiful, but without the same character and personality that tells us something about the time and place in history when it was made.

This is true, but while a rerecording might fall short in that respect, at least it provides a means of fully appreciating the composition, arrangement and instrumentation of the themes created by the composer, without the sound effects of the original audio getting in the way, and without the missing instrumentation from an audio rip that uses just some of the channels of the original audio (although those clean rips are, of course, tremendously appreciated anyway).

At any rate, I’m pretty sure right now, we’ve already heard all the clean Bond music that can be ripped from the DVDs/Blu-Rays. So indeed, any progress in getting the music in clean shape will have to come from either soundtrack rereleases, or rerecordings (whether commercial or fan made). In the meantime, my preference as of late is to listen to the missing music straight from the film, SFXs and everything. It’s not an ideal situation, but at least that way one gets the full musical experience, with all the instruments in place.

By the way, I wanted to say that, of the albums uploaded in this thread, the tracks The Best Place in Town (from Goldfinger) and Gunbarrel (from Octopussy) are all wrong. Evidently, they were sourced from other tracks in the respective albums, instead of the film audio, and while the themes are the same, the instrumentation is significantly different. There is no real point in doing that; if the music can’t be ripped, then it can’t be ripped… cut and paste solves nothing.

I think this is also the biggest regret of the composers self, that their original music sometimes isn’t available to publish or to share. It is what Robert Altman regrets the most that his Tank Chase music for GoldenEye (http://jamesbondradio.com/composer-john-altman-explains-what-went-wrong-with-goldeneyes-score-exclusive-by-matthew-chernov/), with any brilliant attempt aside from Silva Screen Records, never was released as a record…

This is me with the bootleg CD of "The World is Not Enough" Thunderball and the two "banned" Criterion Bonds: "Goldfinger" and "Dr. No". ("From Russia with Love" surprisingly doesn’t have a music and effects track). I highly doubt such companies such as Twilight Time would even think twice to release the Connery Bond films with a music and effects track/isolated track (or any of the Bond films for that matter, though Connery is a risk taker for that company because his films are much older and he’s popular, though the Moore films with isolated tracks will probably sell well too, because he’s also popular and considering recent events of his passing, etc.), because of rights issues and a lack of demand for complete/expanded Bond scores if La La Land Records or Intrada were to release them, but I digress as that’s another issue for another time… (check the "la-la-land" thread for more on this, but the gist is that if it sells well, there will be more complete/expanded Bond scores in the future and if it won’t sell, then just release the scores for other films that aren’t Bond aka the ones fans really want)

In the case of "Thunderball" there are some minor cues missing (the death of Derval, Bond in the car with Fiona and Bond telling Domino of her brother’s death are the ones I could think off the top of my head), and I just pop on the blu-ray on my blu-ray player and listen to those moments in the film, dialogue and all. (as I don’t have a blu-ray drive on my laptop and not the slightest clue on how to minimize dialogue, etc.)

There is no real point in doing that; if the music can’t be ripped, then it can’t be ripped… cut and paste solves nothing.

I did mention about The Best Place in Town a couple of years back as well as a few other potential Goldfinger cues:
Thread 77043

It’s about 30 seconds and largely useable as is the presidential music if you loop the last part. There’s a few other cues as well if your listening threshold will handle a few tweeting birds on the golf course and trotting horses in Kentucky.

Personally I would prefer the complete rip even with SFX as those parts would at least act as a place holder for whats missing and what the length of time is of the full work compared to the actual release.

Those that didn’t want to hear could opt for a "Expanded" m3u playlist instead of perhaps a "Complete" m3u?
You could even go further and have a "Film Edit" m3u and a "Composers Cut" m3u as the difference in what the film makers chose over the composer is also quite interesting.

There’s also potential in the Criterion SFX track of Dr No but I can’t do it as well as KFG!

I did mention about The Best Place in Town a couple of years back as well as a few other potential Goldfinger cues:
Thread 77043

It’s about 30 seconds and largely useable as is the presidential music if you loop the last part. There’s a few other cues as well if your listening threshold will handle a few tweeting birds on the golf course and trotting horses in Kentucky.

Personally I would prefer the complete rip even with SFX as those parts would at least act as a place holder for whats missing and what the length of time is of the full work compared to the actual release.

Those that didn’t want to hear could opt for a "Expanded" m3u playlist instead of perhaps a "Complete" m3u?
You could even go further and have a "Film Edit" m3u and a "Composers Cut" m3u as the difference in what the film makers chose over the composer is also quite interesting.

There’s also potential in the Criterion SFX track of Dr No but I can’t do it as well as KFG!

I did a loop of the presidential Goldfinger music, and it came out not too bad. I’m with you, I like to have a placeholder, and if there are two many voices or fx, I just put those tracks at the end of the album on iTunes.

I looked at that Dr No music/sfx track a while back, and struggled to find much of use.
I did get this……

The main piece that comes to mind is the 1.20 cue the accompanies Dr. No’s aquarium, clean but a fair amount of hiss.

OK, so "The Best Place In Town" does sound a lot jazzier in the movie than I remembered. I had gotten used to listening to the more orchestral version.

So this is the best version I could achieve for it…..

Thanks for the two versions of "The Best Place In Town." This and "Walk To The Barn" are my two holy grail tracks (effects-free) from GF that I miss the most. I find it mind-numbing that the original tapes (as I remember reading, please correct me if I am wrong) were lost/destroyed at a time when the Bond phenomenon was peaking and GF was the smash hit that it eventually became.

Roger Moore was 49 when he did The Spy Who Loved Me. 52 when he did Moonraker. 54 when he did For Your Eyes Only…

He was definitely too old after that (56 and 58 on Octopussy and A View To A Kill), but the three films above are basically his three best — the height of his time in the role.

Craig at 50 is just fine.

True. Honestly, I can’t wait to see the new movie. Hope it could live up to great expections.

Also, yay for more people who loves "Moonraker". That film is not as bad as others makes it out to be. It was actually pretty enjoyable, in my opinion. Plus, the Ken Adam space set and John Barry’s score were the highlights for me.

Daniel Craig is 49, probably would be in the middle of shooting the movie when he turns 50 next March.[Actually, does Bond shoot that far ahead? It’s not Star Wars after all.] Even at 50, hardly too old to be playing someone in his 40s. Bond should look like he’s had a hard life!

(And dear old Roger was only 57 in his final appearance as Bond, not 58.)

Hmm, how old will Tom Hardy be when they’re shooting the next next movie four years from now….? Bond could be stuck in his late 40s for a long time yet!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

While we’re at it, here are my picks of Bond movies that weren’t as bad as others make it out to be:

Octopussy, The World Is Not Enough, Tomorrow Never Dies and A View To A Kill. They’re the ultimate guilty pleasure Bond films that I could watch on a boring Saturday afternoon when I have nothing to do and just take out my Bond 50 blu-ray box set and watch them (at least for me). Plus, I love the scores from these films.

Agreed. But we should also remember OHMSS and LTK because they showcased the human side of Bond very prominently.

True. Also, don’t forget the Craig films, which shows the human side of Bond as well. It further proves that OHMSS, TLD and LTK were in the wrong place and wrong time. There’s even an article over at The Agony Booth on LTK (https://www.agonybooth.com/licence-to-kill-1989-57543) and it mentions how this film really polarized a lot of Bond fans at the time.

@KaFaraqGatri – I’ve noticed something on track 6 of the expanded score of "A View to a Kill" and it says it’s "Autumn" from The Four Seasons, but it’s actually the first movement of Spring :D.

Thankfully, someone over at Chrono-Score (http://chrono-score.blogspot.com/2009/04/view-to-kill.html) updated those Trevor Pinnock/The English Concert tracks and I had to ensure they’re correct by playing the party scene from the film and indeed they are. Here you go!

http://www.mediafire.com/download/gp9cq6o7qxkj41k

And because I’m feeling generous, I have re-created/expanded their "The Living Daylights" 12-inch single LP by including the three remastered tracks from their 2015 expanded "Stay On These Roads" album (the title song, the expanded version and the demo), the album version from a lossless file of the soundtrack (the so-called "7-Inch Version") and included a very great quality rip of the instrumental version from the 12-inch vinyl single.

One track that has always annoyed me with its absence is the one playing in TLD behind the dialogue between Bond and Leiter’s "party girls" just after he’s escaped from his fake assassination on Pushkin. It’s a sax solo from what I can tell. Anyone have this?

The exact same versions used in the film, especially the names of the pieces ("Spring", "Winter") and the order they’re played during the party scene. ๐Ÿ™‚

I was also correcting KaFaraqGatri’s track name, because it’s labeled as "The Four Seasons Concerto No. 3 In F Major, Op. 8: Autumn – Allegro" and it’s actually "The Four Seasons Concerto No. 3 In E Major, Op. 8: Spring – Allegro", though it’s the first movement.

You’re welcome! Chrono-Score’s recent update also deserves credit as well! (they’ve been updating every Bond score arrangements recently, especially on how to do true film mixes to "Diamonds are Forever" (http://chrono-score.blogspot.com/2009/04/diamonds-are-forever.html), "Thunderball" (http://chrono-score.blogspot.com/2009/04/thunderball.html), "You Only Live Twice" (http://chrono-score.blogspot.com/2009/04/you-only-live-twice.html), "On Her Majesty’s Secret Service" (http://chrono-score.blogspot.com/2009/04/on-her-majestys-secret-service.html) and "Octopussy" (http://chrono-score.blogspot.com/2009/04/octopussy.html) for example. Talk about someone who’s obsessed with this franchise to contribute those updates, haha!)

For me, however, I don’t care how one arranges it, be it an expanded version or a complete film mix version, as long as I’m listening to the score and enjoying it, until either Intrada, Quartet or La-La-Land decides to get full permission to release the ones that didn’t get an expanded release. ("Golden Gun" for example, since those tapes are still at EMI)

I can’t see how much can be done with Dr No, as other than the album (and the few rerecorded tracks) there are still quite a number of missing tracks that can only be covered by DVD rips, or excluded.

It doesn’t help that there isn’t much music in that movie, at least from what I could recall. Most of it is just vocal source (mainly by Byron Lee & The Dragonaires, Diana Coupland, Nikki van der Zyl, Sean Connery and Monty Norman himself) and Monty Norman and John Barry providing the score. (there’s a huge debate as to who wrote the iconic theme and it’s rather messy. I just tag it as "John Barry" and leave it at that…)

(there’s a huge debate as to who wrote the iconic theme and it’s rather messy. I just tag it as "John Barry" and leave it at that…)

Norman wrote the bare bones of the theme. Barry helped arrange and orchestrate, as Norman couldn’t read or write notation and wasn’t classically trained. The original Bond theme featured in Dr. No is credited to Monty Norman as performer but I suspect it was performed by the John Barry Seven (with additional orchestra members padding out the sound), as it sounds A LOT like Barry music from the period–check out the EMI Years compilations. Then there’s the "Barry version" which is nearly identical in length and arrangement and was released as a single version.

In all fairness, I think Barry should have gotten co-writer credit as the final product is almost a new composition from the original Norman tune. It’s just as much an evolution and development of early Barry work like Beat Girl as it the original Norman riff.

Here is a good comparison:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jjywVmz2EI

Of course the argument could be made that Barry just arranged it with popular elements and styles of the era, elements he didn’t invent by any means. I dunno. Check this out:

I, and many others, would argue that it’s more Barry than Norman. The basic ‘riff’ was adapted from an unused song called Good Sign, Bad Sign as heard here (it begins around 00:12):

Barry clearly a load of stuff to this basic tune. It’s absurd that Norman is credited as sole writer.

Another good reason, if Barry didn’t write it then why would he be so attached to it through the years? It was a regular staple when he performed concerts, and he made pretty liberal use of it in other Bond films, with maybe the exception of Moonraker and AVTAK. He stood nothing to gain in the way of royalties when he played it, and yet it pops up frequently in his concerts as well as on a number of Barry Best Of/Hits compilations released through the years. Why would he want to emphasize some other dude’s song as a highlight in his repertoire when he surely had plenty of other iconic themes to pad out compilations (Born Free, Lion In Winter, etc). I think he had a personal attachment and was proud of the theme, even if "officially" he may have not claimed it as his own.

I think that this article could enlighten the discussion… http://www.audiomasterclass.com/newsletter/so-mr-bond-who-really-did-write-your-theme-music

I can go for the legal explanation: Norman, writer – Barry, arranger, but I also can relate to Anaximander that Barry eventually has got the most benefit on all of it in his later involvement to the series and in his career and that he at least could have received a more formal credit for it… But then again, initially he agreed upon the deal for Dr. NO, even though it was a compromise between the two and John Barry got the From Russia With Love-job, for where he wrote his own James Bond theme, 007.

My opinion, John Barry owns the James Bond theme, not literally nor in credits, but in spirit and he masters the composition in its total sense and meaning.

I always thought that too. But I heard Warren "Q The Music" Ringham explain that composing credit goes to the person who writes the main line (I think that’s what he called it). Monty Norman was deemed to have written the main line (the Good Sign Bad Sign part) so he is the composer. It doesn’t then matter how much John Barry adds or arranges it. This isn’t controversial, but was and is standard practise.

This is how a lot of modern songs are written apparently. Someone just writes that one single melody (getting composer credit) and passes it on to someone else to orchestrate it. They do all the work on arrangement and filling out the composition, but get no composer credit.

Correct. 20 tracks not counting numerous short edits of the Bond theme and versions of Under The Mango Tree.
I wouldn’t mind some DVD-rips for completness, but as they probably will contain some fx I suspect antovolk, fincharama, raybond, RDAF, scorehunter66, and tehƧP@ƦKly†ANK™ -Ⅲ??? might disagree as it could mean extra work?
I respect all your work and the focus on presenting the scores in the best audio quality, but as I know that could be extra tricky with Dr No, I hope you could ease a little on the ambition, so to speak? ๐Ÿ™‚

I don’t know how Kafarq feels about it or if he even saved these files, but when he finishes the scores it might be cool to have a collection of all the leftover rips of cues that were sfx-laden and/or just too low quality for inclusion in the expansions. A sort of "the rest of Bond" or something to that effect.. I understand for instance that a lot of Octopussy cannot be expanded because a lot of the DVD/Blu audio is just riddled with SFX.

I don’t mind occasional SFX in expanded scores but I understand and respect his choice as he is focused on presenting high quality, aesthetically pure presentations of these scores. However for those of us who don’t mind the SFX, we might take those leftover tracks and use them to pad out the expanded scores in our playlists. I’ve already done this with AVTAK and Dr. No, taking the sfx-laden tracks someone had posted at one point (for example the music when Stacey is kidnapped) and adding them to my playlist for a more complete score.

Also too bad GKGyver has gone AWOL, as he may have been able to complete his re-recording project and allow those tracks to fill in some of the gaps as he did with TMWTGG. Wish he’d gotten around to re-recording some of the AVTAK stuff, like when Bond arrives at Zorin’s estate…very short but lovely cue there.

I like the Rest of Bond-idea, if possible. Another argument in favour for a as-complete-as-possible Dr No is, as mentioned before, this year marks the 55th anniversary for the series AND Dr No.

A side note: I’ve just listened to a rip with material from Criterion’s Laserdisc’s music and audio track. To my surprise I noticed that the music playing during the death of Dr No is totally different from the track listed as ‘Death of Dr No’ on the re-recording album ‘Bond Back in Action’.
The music on that track is actually the cue in the following scene when Bond is searching for Honey in Dr No’s base. I double checked just to make sure and I’m puzzled about this. Anyone know what I mean?

I know exactly what you mean. I was reviewing the Dr No soundtrack on another website, and when listening to the movie soundtrack I noticed that Nic Raine had only recorded part of the track. The track title confuses the issue too. It’s a shame he didn’t do the whole thing as the other part sounds pretty good (what you can hear of it). Anyway I have had to include a version of this, putting the DVD rip first and the Nic Raine bit second, on to my iTunes playlist for Dr No. So I round things off with a load of alarms and klaxons going off.

It’s a pain there aren’t any rerecording to cover these soundtracks. You end up having to do the best you can or do without. It depends what your tolerance for listening to tracks with some sfx on them is.

For Dr No:

Trueblood has a lot of sfx at the start, but the rest is OK. I think I mocked something up for those first few notes as it was unbearable with Trueblood squealing down my headphones.

Murder Attempt is pretty much the same. The first part is totally covered with sfx, the second half you can hear OK with just some chirping crickets.

Crab Key I lumped all those brief cues together. I’ve got nothing good here. I used some of Nic Raine’s recordings to mock up the missing parts again just to make some sort of placeholder.

Killing The Guard settled for Nic Raine’s rerecording

Death Of Dr No same

Engines burning don’t know what part we are talking about there

Countdown to lift off is there score there? I can’t remember any

Searching for Honey I’ve just got the audio track there, alarms and all. No way of removing all that noise unfortunately.

FRWL:

Chess Match: you end up with a lot of hiss on these tracks trying to amplify what we have. They are better than nothing, but I tend to stick them on the end of the playlist as they are not an audio quality match for the CD.

Bridal Suite I’d have to watch that scene again.

Cold War You can get a couple of very brief cues that are a lot better than something like Chess Match

Leila Dances I stick with John Barry’s version in the main playlist, as I am so used to hearing it there, and then just add the straight movie audio in as a bonus later. It sounds fine to me with the clapping and cheering as again that’s what I’m used to by now.

Grant/Benz there are a couple of very brief cues/stings. I’ve just got the movie audio on these I think.

Zagreb Express No way of getting rid of all the sfx on this. Nic Raine’s version is decent. I think I mocked up the first part (Belgrade) from that version as they are similar.

Escape From Train I love this track, even though it is just the same few bars repeating much of the time. I dialled down the sfx as much as possible, even chopped a few out. If you loop the best bits you can cover the ruined bits. Still not great but I like listening to it anyway.

Burning Boats I jigged up Nic Raine’s "Death Of Dr No". With a little tweaking it sounds more like this version.

Death Of Klebb I think I ended up with a half decent version of this one. It’s very short. Obviously still sfx but quite listenable.

Thunderball – I can’t help much on this one as I haven’t dug into all the missing music on this one. Certainly haven’t got anything on the ones you’ve mentioned.

The Criterion version’s music and audio track omitts all vocal noises and speech on Trueblood. Frustrating they didn’t include it on subsequent releases. Rights issues if I remember correctly.

The music on Engines Burning is a fanfare of sorts with brass and flutes beneath SFX. You can here it with headphones if concentrating. Same with Countdown to liftoff which plays right before.

It’s the same one. I listened again and noticed the intro was faded in to minimize the screaming. Sorry. What’s good about that version imo compared to the usual audio track, is that you don’t get the word ‘Here’, which makes the music a bit more audible.

you know what I never understand about the end of octopussy? After Bond gets rid of Gobinda, he could’ve easily climbed inside the plane, overpowered Kamal Khan, and safely landed the plane himself. Instead he risks death by trying to make the plane crash and nearly throwing himself off a cliff.

I think that ending had been deemed too anticlimactic. My guess is the producers went for a spectacular ending in keeping with the times.
Compare it to how they changed Dr No’s death. In the book he’s drowned in guano. In the film he’s wrestled, beaten down and drowned in radioactive water.

I won’t post any of the Dr No ones at this point, not until after KFG posts his DN selection. I feel like we are already intruding enough on to his thread. I’ll dig out some of the others, although some of them really aren’t up to much. But they are the best I’ve got for now.

Understood. Thank you very much!

Here’s a listing I did a few years ago comparing the film with the SFX track, the album and the Harkit release. Over 15 minutes of unreleased orchestral score can be heard in the film. the SFX track revealed some odd differences to the finished film, showing a different stage of production I guess. For instance, when Bond drives to Ms Taro, its to the Bond theme but in the SFX track it is Jamaica Jazz (track 8). Presumably Peter Hunt slapped it all in at the last minute to save the score! I didn’t go as far as noting which part of it was tracked.

One of my biggest curiosities is the "sax" version of the Bond theme heard in the trailer. It seems unknown who it’s by and when it was done and if there is a full version out there. It must surely be the first ever cover of the Bond theme which makes it pretty important and especially hearing it with that instrument.

@superbond – many thanks for your impressive work on that list.

The saxophone music is in the main trailer for Dr no at 1.16. Great spot. Cannot remember hearing any version with that saxophone. I’d also never listened to the music & fx track closely enough to notice that Jamaica Jazz was intended for Bond’s car journey.

If I can stick my oar in –

The track Chauffeur Interrogation / Death Of Mr Jones does have that violin/string arrangement of the Bond Theme, but it is almost the same as in Killing The Guard except with a slightly faster pace, so the BBIA recording sort of covers both scenes.

Music from movie audio track (fairly free of sfx)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nyPXkcdJEI

Reworked BBIA version to fit this scene

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se_5NB_-cjA

Dent taking the tarantula does sound to me like it is just tracked from the tarantula music track.

"Death of Dr No" recorded for BBIA is actually the track you named "Evacuation" (part of it anyway). So the movie portion of "Death Of Dr No" is another track that is missing in action.

The "Boy’s Chase" is to my ear a fast version of "Twisting With James".

Thanks again @superbond

Do you guys think that a third Dalton film, if it had been released in ’91, would’ve continued in the dark tone of LtK, or do you think Broccoli would’ve tried to get back to a more "traditional" Bond style to appeal more to American audiences? And I wonder if Glen would’ve directed it?

I think Glen is one of the criminally underrated Bond directors, perhaps because he never had a really critically acclaimed classic under his belt like Young, Gilbert, Hamilton, et al, because he was more of an internal promotion than a "prestige hire" like Sam Mendes, and because people take a more negative view of the Moore films he directed; also, since Dalton era never quite got the recognition it deserved, it’s a lot easier to brush Glen aside, even though he helped keep the franchise stable and sellable through the 80s. It’s funny because clown costumes and Beach Boys aside, he brought some grit and realism to the Moore films he directed (that emphasis on grit and realism which made him a really great match for Dalton, IMO), and while his films may have somewhat lacked the flair, scope, and attention to artistic detail of Gilbert or Hunt, he certainly had a strong sense of pacing, meaning I rarely feel bored or feel like his Bond entries "drag," perhaps with the exception of AVTAK, which slightly suffers in its second act (although I’d blame this on the writers and a generally phoned-in performance by Moore). Glen is more of an oldschool English workman director than he is an auteur, so there is less of a distinct voice or theme in his films, which might get him overlooked compared to a Campbell or Mendes. However, I’d put Glen right up there with Young, Hunt and Campbell in the top five Bond directors. I’m a little more on the fence on Hamilton and Gilbert, both of whom directed fine films, but also directed some real duds in the series and I feel had a poorer sense of pacing and editing than Young and Glen. I actually do not hold TSWLM in very high esteem. But then Moonraker is one of my favorites, so I’m not sure how valid my opinion really is here.

Anyway, sorry to go off topic but I think these discussions are fun during the waiting period between KaFaraq’s uploads.

Dream directors for Bond: Tarantino and Alfonso Cuaron. Tarantino would bring some edge and just the right level of camp and self-referential humor that is lacking in the Craig era. Cuaron can direct realistic, suspenseful action (just watch the final third of Children of Men if you disagree). Too bad Broccoli and Wilson are more focused on making this series a clone of Bourne and every other "serious" action film made in the past 10 years. They don;t want to take chances, they want to play it safe.

I’m sorry, but the Bond series has always been silly to varying degrees. You take that out and you take out a core piece of Bond movie DNA. It’s always been a little "roger moore," so I’m always a little confused when people single out the Moore era as somehow different from the other films. Apparently they didn’t notice Connery’s silly bird hat disguise, or never saw Diamonds are Forever, which is arguably more a Roger Moore film than it ever was a Connery film. Even Dalton era had the odd, occasional tongue-in-cheek, silly stuff peppered in, like the Camera gag in LtK, and Brosnan era got pretty silly and ridiculous at times. They’ve always been action films with comedy undertones. This what the current franchise owners fail to understand.

Anaximander, I pretty much agree 100% with everything you said about Glen, the directors, etc. in that big post up there.

In theory, she should’ve been a good Bond girl. Bad casting, in my opinion. The filmmakers usually went for looks over acting ability, I guess. She turns into a damsel in distress, which seems a bit out of character for someone trained as an elite KGB agent. But that was requisite, I suppose. Goodhead was similarly wooden and bland. And Mary Goodnight? I don’t see what good purpose she served other than to have someone for Moore to shag at the end of the movie. I would much rather seen Maude’s character emphasized more and maybe have her be the only Bond girl. So her death may have really meant a lot more to Bond as he went confront Scaramanga. Instead she becomes a trivial footnote who seems disposable, because no worries, Bond has his backup bimbo ready to go.

My favorite Bond girls are Tracy, Domino, Melina, Maud Adams (both times she appeared). Craig era has had some good Bond girls. I also like Kara, because she breaks the traditional mold a bit. Pam is kind of cool, though I’m not generally into the American Bond girls as much. Most Bond girls are rather one-dimensional though…never nearly as interesting or memorable as the femme fatales like Xenia and Fiona Volpe. I have to also acknowledge Honey because even though she isn’t my favorite, she sort of set the template and also looked really good in that bikini coming out of the ocean. That scene is pretty damn iconic and has aged well, compared to some other elements of Dr. No.

Refreshing to see what I???ve been thinking a long time. Thunderball has some of the best, in not THE best written female characters in the films. Volpe does not switch sides just because Bond and she had sex as she says later before her death.
And Domino kills the main villain AND saves Bond in the end. Tatiana Romanova also kills Klebb when she is close to killing Bond and Tracy and Melina also save Bond from being killed.

Agreed on your faves, but I’ll throw in Pussy Galore on there too and Vesper Lynd. I also have a soft spot for Solitaire because I love Jane Seymour but her character is meh. The Femme Fatales are great like Xenia and Fiona, but I’ll throw in May Day on there too because Grace Jones is amazing and Elektra King. Least favorite Femme Fatale is Miranda Frost for me.

This isn’t meant to reflect on Kafaraq’s work so much as it is on the film score itself and the original Dr No OST presentation. The problem is that it was never a very phenomenal score, aside from the James Bond Theme and a couple of ominous tracks like The Island Speaks that I enjoy. Monty Norman just didn’t have the Bond feel quite down in the tunes he wrote for the film. The OST is a really poor representation of the score. 50 goddamn versions of Under The Mango Tree, a song I’ve never much cared for to begin with…multiple version of Jump Up…ugh, the OST just gets redundant really fast and I can’t get through it. The thing is that Barry would also take one or two themes and motifs and repeat them throughout a score, but his were actually usually good and memorable. So for instance, hearing the "We Have All The Time In The World" theme repeated a bunch of times in varying forms is nice, or hearing something like the AVTAK action motif repeatedly is not at all grating.

I really have little respect for Norman as a composer, even if he did give us the bare bones of the main theme (although Barry’s original themes and motifs written for subsequent Bond films are far superior, IMHO). I think Norman is a hack who has coasted through life on royalties from that one composition that wouldn’t have granted him nearly as many royalty checks without Barry’s contributions and arrangements. He even wrote a song explaining how he wrote the original tune (what a goddamn hack; read the comments section on this video for some lolz, I wrote "What a fucking cuntwaffle" 4 years ago):

Again, this isn’t a criticism of Kafaraq’s work. I am listening to his expansion at this very moment and it’s a VAST improvement over the OST. Much like his LtK expansion [His expansion made me appreciate Kamen’s score as one of the better non-Barry contributions (I even rank it above Arnold and Martin)], I find myself able to appreciate the music in the film more without having an abyssmal OST presentation to suffer through. .

Keep up the good work. I’m not sure how anyone is going to "top" it because all the stuff you’ve left out is SFX-riddled anyway ๐Ÿ™‚

I recall a review I’ve watched not too recently by an awesome Bond fan named DutchBondFan (check out his channel!) and he called Norman’s score "Tom & Jerry music" and that’s exactly how I feel about it. Thank goodness for Film #2 and onwards for bringing much better scores. (even the non-Barry stuff from the likes of Hamlisch, Conti, Martin, Kamen and Sera, which I love)

Totally agree on the Dr. No OST. Granted it’s a product of its time, but it is a very poor representation of the film’s music as a whole. So much unused crap (Audio Bongo?!) that should have been left off and replaced with actual cues from the score.

And wow, that "song" is something else. Why on earth would he feel the need to make a song about how he composed another tune? We get it, you wrote theme, Monty. Bravo. I would have thought that fifty years of royalties would have made him very happy but he just can’t keep his mouth shut about it, can he?

Anyway, thank you for the kind comments. I have always loved Kamen’s work on Licence to Kill but I didn’t realize just how good it was until I tried to put it in chronological order. I hope it gets an expansion one day by someone like Intrada.

I think they’d originally wanted to do a re-recorded collection of all previously unreleased Bond cues, but it wasn’t deemed financially viable and what we got instead was the “highlights” collection of BBIA. At least I seem to remember reading this.

Aside from any legal or rights issues, I see no good reason why there wouldn’t be sufficient demand to do complete re-recordings at this point in time—there seems to be plenty of demand in the community of score fans. However I am not sure Raine and Prague are the way to go. His orchestrations of the later Barry material are not bad (Fanfare from AVTAK being a good example) but I find the recreations of the early Barry cues to be lacking in energy. They sound limp. Perhaps Carl Davis would be a better bet? I saw him conduct Bond music at the Richmond Symphony several years back and it was overall very good and faithful to the original Barry sound. It’s never going to sound 100% like the original recordings but I think we can do better than Prague.

I don’t think anyone is going to be doing any rerecording in a hurry. There was that project to rerecord Moonraker a couple of years ago, that got crowdfunded and then abruptly dropped. I guess someone official didn’t want it to happen.

No Good About Goodbye was never a rejected song, Arnold just reused a motif from the QoS score because he liked it. This has been covered extensively before, but particularly in Jon Burlingame’s excellent book.

As far as I know, Beyond The Ice was never rejected, either, since it was never in the running to begin with.

Sorry to reply to such an old post but I’ve missed some good discussions.

Even though he probably didn’t record it for QoS, I can’t help thinking this is what he may have had in mind before the producers pushed for White and Keys. I really think the era when the Bond composers were given more control over the theme songs resulted in (usually) better titles. One of the reasons Barry refused to come back in the 90s was because the producers were no longer willing to let him compose and have a hand in producing the title themes. It’s a shame really, and kind of a slap in the face to a man who had proven he could compose top notch, memorable titles. I remember hearing an NPR interview with him where he talked about how he felt the title song should be related to the music score, otherwise it just feels like some unrelated tune pasted onto the front of the film. Also, hearing it reprised throughout the score makes the title itself more memorable for the audience.

To answer a question from a while back, my favorite rejected titles are probably Lorraine Chandler’s “You Only Live Twice”, the Blondie tune for FYEO, The Pretenders tunes for TLD, and the Pulp and KD Lang songs written for TND. I like Cash’s TB song but it would have been a terrible fit and sounds more suited as a title for an American action star (perhaps some fantasy Leiter spinoff film from an alternate universe 60s).

Just watched an old British tv special ranking the Bond titles. Golden Gun came in near the bottom. I’ve never understood the hate for this tune. It’s not bad, I’d put it about in the middle between best and worst. Lulu was no Bassey but she had a good voice and I think she would be more highly regarded had she sang a ballad in the vein of YOLT or TSWLM. Her voice is probably about on par with Nancy Sinatra or Rita Coolidge.

Does anyone know if Pulp’s original demo for TND has ever seen the light of day? Would love to hear this. Jarvis Cocker is evidently a big John Barry fan. My dream would be a TND collaboration between Barry and Pulp.

The Bond themes are crucial promotional tools for the movies and Barry’s themes were almost all failures in terms of singles chart performance. Conversely, the songs by others were almost always hits. This sample of highest chart placings (UK Top 100 charts) alternates between Barry and other composers:

Diamonds Are Forever (Barry) 38

Live And Let Die (McCartney) 9

MWTGG (Barry) did not chart!

Nobody Does It Better (Hamlisch) 7

Moonraker (Barry) did not chart!

For Your Eyes Only (Conti) 8

All Time High (Barry) 75

Looking at those numbers, I would forgive the producers for deciding to take Barry off title song duties, he was the kiss of death!

This is selective horseshit. You’re cherry picking. You chose 4 Barry compositions to prove your point. He either wrote or arranged title music for TWELVE Bond films. And you failed to even mention non-Barry penned themes that didn’t do as well, I.E. LTK

Do you know which Bond song was the only one to hit number one on the US Billboard chart?

A View To A Kill, co-composed by Barry. His penultimate Bond title. It also performed well in the UK. It consistently appears on Duran Duran best of/hits compilations (considered one of their better known songs alongside Rio, Girls On Film and Come Undone) and it usually rounds out the top 5 in any list of best Bond titles, with perhaps Live and Let Die, Nobody Does It Better, and the original Bond theme edging it out more often than not.

His final composition, The Living Daylights, reached the top 10 in the UK and several other countries.

Goldfinger was a top ten hit in the US and abroad. Thunderball performed well and consistently ranks as one of the series’ best.

YOLT performed very well, reaching US Billboard 44 and adult contemporary top 10…not bad considering it was released in 1967, a year dominated by psychedelia and rock.

Even We Have All The Time In The World, whilst failing to chart on original release, became a surprise hit in the 90s, after gaining a second life via featuring in a UK alcohol advertisement. If anything, this proved Barry’s music was more than viable and relevant to the “generation X”

Not to mention his music was heavily featured in samples by bands like Portishead, Fatboy Slim, Sneaker Pimps, etc. And he was cited as a major influence on a number of 90s and 2000s acts such as Air, Pulp, etc. The "Barry sound" was quite prominent in the DNA of a lot of popular 90s music. Even popping up in a Wu Tang Clan sample, if I remember correctly.

It’s a stretch to say his title songs were the kiss of death. His weakest tunes (Moonraker, All Time High) were attempts at recapturing the success of Nobody Does It Better, probably at least partially due to the wishes and directives of the filmmakers, so it’s not entirely fair to place their failures solely on Barry. TLD was not a huge hit in the US, but it was the producers who chose A-Ha as the title act, and aside from "Take On Me," they never really gelled with American audiences. I think Barry would have worked with The Pretenders on the title song if it had been his call. They were still pretty popular in the US circa ’86, ’87.

Score wise, he was still at his top game circa early 90s (coming off several Oscar wins in recent years and a lot of attention for Chaplin) so he was still “relevant” and capable of writing melodies that were catchy as hell.

Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson were short sighted idiots. Sheryl Crow? Seriously? They chose her over Pulp and KD Lang as more Bondian? They have more often than not shown that their musical taste is not attuned to popular taste since they took over the franchise. Even now many are scratching their heads at Writing On The Wall being picked over Radiohead’s song. Cubby may not have always had a great sense of where pop music winds were blowing but more often than not he was justified in allowing his composers to at least have partial control in composing the title songs. I blame most of the musical missteps in the last two decades on Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. And I think the missteps during Barry’s tenure are not entirely his fault, as you have to remember he was just a hired hand acting on the wishes of Saltzman and Broccoli who both had the final word.

I don’t think they were as interested in making massive hit singles back in the day, not like it is today. The albums, however, may have been a different story. The Goldfinger LP knocked The Beatles off the top of the charts!

Soundtrack albums were a pretty big deal back then. Even score albums with all instrumentals often sold pretty well. Nowadays it’s a little more of a niche market, so I imagine the producers are more concerned with getting a hot big name act to do a title song, whilst the film score becomes an afterthought, so long as the composer drops the Bond theme in at key moments, I doubt they really pay a ton of attention and don’t really give a flying fuck if the score is completely untied to the DNA of the title song.

Hence why we see someone like Adele (not to trash her, I quite enjoyed her Bond tune and I’m not really an Adele fan), Sam Smith over Radiohead, or why we’ll probably never see Shirley Bassey chosen. It’s not going to be about talent or who’s a better fit in many cases, but rather who is the most current and relevant, big name prestige acts or whatever–so Jack White and Alicia Keys it is, sorry, Ms. Bassey. I’m pretty sure it’s why Crow was chosen over Lang. Lang could hit the notes and most I talk to agree her tune was superior and more Bondian, but an openly gay singer with tomboy looks vs one of the biggest pop acts of ’97? No contest as far as dollar signs go. I like how Arnold basically said screw it and still heavily referenced Lang’s song throughtout that score though. He knew they’d written the better song. My dream alternate reality for TND would have been Barry and Pulp working together though.

I’d have like to have seen Newman get a shot at co-composing the songs to one of the films he scored. I think he could’ve done something interesting with Adele. Boggles me why they weren’t paired up.

What EON would have really wanted from a theme song is radio plays; publicity for the movie rather than vinyl sales. Hit singles are a better generator for that than albums (realistically, ???Teasing the Korean??? would not get a lot of airplay!); a high chart placing, and a long time on the chart, would result in considerable exposure of a 3 minute long free commercial!

Ironically given the Beatle-topping achievement you mention, it was probably Paul McCartney who drew attention to the underperforming nature of the Barry themes and made EON realise what a powerful weapon they really had in a Bond theme song. I used the UK chart positions for comparisons, but on the US chart ???Live And Let Die??? was a much bigger hit, reaching number 2 and staying there for several weeks IIRC. Hard to put a price on the kind of exposure that would have got.

No, I didn???t cherrypick, I listed a continuous run of movies leading to where John Barry was demoted to co-composer of the theme song. His track record for producing hit songs was not good to that point.

???Licence To Kill??? actually did well on the UK chart (which the other placings are from), reaching number 6, better than any of Barry???s solo efforts. Sorry but ???We Have All the Time?????? becoming a hit off the back of a Guinness commercial 25 years later doesn???t count here, because the comparison is between Bond themes as contemporaneous ???support acts??? for their movies, that is why they exist after all. In that respect the song was another misfire, failing to make the Top 100 chart in both the UK and US; that sounds crazy now, it???s a classic song not just in Bond terms but in wider culture, but originally it made little impact at all.

Do you know which Bond song was the only one to hit number one on the US Billboard chart?

A View To A Kill, co-composed by Barry. His penultimate Bond title. It also performed well in the UK.

His final composition, The Living Daylights, reached the top 10 in the UK and several other countries.

A significant new factor was in play with these particular theme songs; the rise of MTV and the pop video. Duran Duran and a-ha were well-known for their extremely successful videos (Girls On Film, Rio, Take On Me) before getting the Bond themes, and they would undeniably drive airplay on VH1 and the like. Must have been awful for a genius like Barry to be forced into composing with a ???flavour of the month??? pop band. But if JB subsequently refused to collaborate with contemporary pop acts, unfortunately the promo video exposure provided by a ???pop star??? would be seen as a greater asset to the next movie than a score by John Barry, and his past record (excuse pun) in the charts would not have helped win any argument for retaining solo composer duties.

Personally I think they should stop messing about with pop singers and just use OHMSS as the theme music for EVERY Bond movie.

I’m not sure that it is; the 7" single version doesn’t seem to be on the new expanded album at all. Was the John Barry single on the old expanded album? It is on my iTunes copy, but I sometimes add in extra tracks to albums so am not certain if that’s how it was issued originally.

I’m comparing the new expanded album to the old one (so that I can just drop in any new tracks to iTunes), as far as I can tell the differences are;

James Bond Theme/Main Titles/Kingston Calypso Same music, but is now one track instead of two

Sexy Golf is new

The old track Drugged is renamed A Visit From The Doctor

Kingston Calypso (Coupland vocal version) is new.

James Bond Theme (John Barry version) is new, not the 7" single version.

Ah, well then we misunderstood each other.

Is there any documentation on who exactly contributed what to "A View To A Kill"? I had assumed Barry was mostly responsible for the melody and that Duran Duran were more responsible for the lyrics. Barry had said his experience working with them was difficult, that all of the DD members argued with one another and had difficulty agreeing on anything, so I have to wonder how much of the final melody came from them and how much from Barry. I am not formally trained so forgive me if my terminology seems amateurish but as a fan of both Barry and 80s period Duran Duran, the song bears a lot more resemblance to Barry’s music from that period than to DD songs. I don’t just mean in the most obvious elements like the Orchestra hits, but in things like chord progression and general structure.

Sorry but “We Have All the Time…” becoming a hit off the back of a Guinness commercial 25 years later doesn’t count here, because the comparison is between Bond themes as contemporaneous “support acts” for their movies, that is why they exist after all. In that respect the song was another misfire, failing to make the Top 100 chart in both the UK and US; that sounds crazy now, it’s a classic song not just in Bond terms but in wider culture, but originally it made little impact at all.

I thought it was perfectly relevant to the topic of Barry as a potential 90s era Bond composer/song composer. It was proof that even if 25 years late, his music was relevant and appreciated by a younger, "hipper" crowd. That is why I mentioned heavy sampling of his music by many 90s acts, not to mention the number of pop musicians who’ve name dropped him as an influence over the years. I’m surprised Broccoli and Wilson didn’t take note of that when negotiating with him over Tomorrow Never Dies. There’s no good reason the producers could not have at least kept him at co-composer status and had him working with newer pop acts.

Must have been awful for a genius like Barry to be forced into composing with a “flavour of the month” pop band. But if JB subsequently refused to collaborate with contemporary pop acts, unfortunately the promo video exposure provided by a “pop star” would be seen as a greater asset to the next movie than a score by John Barry, and his past record (excuse pun) in the charts would not have helped win any argument for retaining solo composer duties.

I doubt it was that awful for Barry. He’d been working with flavors of the month since the late 50s in his days in The John Barry Seven. Adam Faith, Matt Monro, Ms. Bassey, Tom Jones, Diana Summer…take your pick.

The industry may have changed a lot by ’85, but he wouldn’t have been a stranger to the way marketing in pop music worked. He would’ve been quite used to working with the occasional diva or moody pop star.

The MTV era was certainly an amplification of looks over substance, but that element was always part of the DNA of music marketing.

Personally I think they should stop messing about with pop singers and just use OHMSS as the theme music for EVERY Bond movie.

No argument from me on this point ๐Ÿ™‚

Although it’s not just any pop singers I have a problem with performing Bond titles. I just want them to be a good fit. Jack White and Alicia Keys…both very talented producers and writers, but turned out a terrible fit for Bond. Same is true with Sheryl Crow and Madonna, IMHO. Sometimes the least obvious choices make for the best performances. For instance (and I know opinion tends to be sharply divided here), I thought Garbage were a great fit, but if I hadn’t heard the song I might not pick them as first choice–by the way, an instance where Arnold was allowed to compose the music! My point here being that the most obvious choice shouldn’t be the biggest flavor of the month (i.e. Sheryl Crow circa ’97) and that it’s a lazy way to go about recruiting singers.

The version on the original Dr. No expansion (at approx. 2:00 length) is, IIRC, the original Barry 7 single released on EMI (appears on the EMI Years collection as well) was recorded circa ’62 or early ’63. I am not sure if the "Norman" version saw single release or if it appeared exclusively on the OST album.

The version on the new Dr. No expansion appears on multiple Barry compilations, including Themeology and if I remember correctly a ’66 Barry compilation. I believe it was recorded for Columbia records, and I think it was circa ’65 or ’66. I had spent a lot of time researching this at one point and I used to have bookmarked links on my last computer but of course I do not now. The orchestration and guitar lead me to believe ’66. It reminds me a bit of the Bond theme as it sounded in the YOLT gunbarrel sequence, particularly with the muted guitar. He also did a re-recorded version of Capsule in Space (also on Themeology and other comps) sometime circa ’67 but I am not sure if it was released as a single or B-side or was exclusively recorded for a best of collection. It wasn;t uncommon for him to do re-recorded versions of theme for those collections (probably due to licensing and whatnot), for instance the collection Ready When You Are, J.B. consists exclusively of re-recordings, making it an interesting album as he used a scaled down orchestra, so it sounds like a more direct evolution from his JB7 days. If you ever have a chance, I recommend seeking it out, there are 4 tunes from OHMSS in addition to an instrumental "The More Things Change," rumored to have been a rejected theme he’d intended for OHMSS.

Anyway, the interesting thing is I’ve seen either version of the Bond theme pop up on different compilations, depending on which label was responsible. If it’s an EMI collection, you get the earlier JB7 version, if it’s a Columbia or Sony collection, you get the other, longer version. I personally prefer the latter version and feel it does the tune more justice. I could see it being dropped into any of the later Connery films and fitting flawlessly.

OK, according to wikipedia the 7" single is 1.48 long, so it isn’t the single version

This one is around 1.48 –

but this one is longer, but listed as the single version –

I’m not trying to be contentious but I have found Wikipedia is not always very reliable for info pertaining to older discographies. I had to really dig and scour the internet when I was researching old Barry singles, often cross-referencing message boards like FSM, discography sites devotied to cataloging old vinyl releases, Barry fan site discogs, etc. And I’m still not sure my information on this topic is 100% accurate. There are some Barry fans on facebook groups who might be able to help, as some are collectors of old Barry vinyl.

I thought it was perfectly relevant to the topic of Barry as a potential 90s era Bond composer/song composer. It was proof that even if 25 years late, his music was relevant and appreciated by a younger, "hipper" crowd. That is why I mentioned heavy sampling of his music by many 90s acts, not to mention the number of pop musicians who’ve name dropped him as an influence over the years. I’m surprised Broccoli and Wilson didn’t take note of that when negotiating with him over Tomorrow Never Dies. There’s no good reason the producers could not have at least kept him at co-composer status and had him working with newer pop acts.

I doubt it was that awful for Barry. He’d been working with flavors of the month since the late 50s in his days in The John Barry Seven. Adam Faith, Matt Monro, Ms. Bassey, Tom Jones, Diana Summer…take your pick.

(I won???t quote the whole posts to save some space!)

The situation with earlier themes was very different IMO, as Bassey and Jones etc weren???t co-writers. They may have kicked up a fuss in the studio about a certain note or phrase, but they were there to record a song already written. Collaborating with a group like a-ha right from the start must have been a whole different ballgame, and as JB refused to ever do it again, maybe it was not a great experience.

To me, A View To A Kill does have more of a John Barry sound to it than the TLD theme. Maybe Duran Duran were smart enough to defer to the master, and a-ha preferred to have more input? No idea if that???s what happened, but I would say one of those themes is a classic and one isn???t!

The sampling situation I think may only have made the case stronger against Barry as solo composer; songs could be hits if a current pop act incorporated some JB input into their own style – apparently the route the producers wanted to go, but Barry didn???t.

Yep, wiki is unreliable on the point of those track timings; the original movie version is 1:48 and the John Barry single version is 1:58. Certainly agree that the longer version newly included on the expanded album is superior to the single version, I suppose because Barry really had the full "Bond sound" and orchestrations nailed by ’66 (around ’66 is a good guess for this version by the sound of it). Even so, I won’t be ditching the single version, and will create my own "expanded expanded" album with both!

As Anaximander says, Barry did express negative views on the pop group collaborations, and the EON producers did prioritise getting pop stars over sticking with Barry as score composer. They apparently wanted his style of score, because they hired David Arnold to mimic it instead when JB wouldn???t come back. By the 90s, musical integrity for the movies came second to the publicity draw of a pop star (see what happened to Arnold on ???Tomorrow Never Dies??? for proof of that).

Bassey and Jones were not co-writers, that???s well established I think.

Songs which sampled JB could do very well indeed (e.g. see Robbie Williams for proof).

The original Bond theme track is 1:48, the single is 1:58, proof of these facts is easily checkable.

Proof for the origin of the longer ???James Bond Theme??? cover version being ???66 is less definitive; it may be the version included on this album;

https://www.discogs.com/John-Barry-His-Orchestra-The-Great-Movie-Sounds-Of-John-Barry/release/1640819

which would make it ???66 at the latest, but possibly earlier.

And I will be making an expanded album which includes the single version and the longer version, but you???ll just have to take my word for that!

I don’t know, I think there’s a fine distinction between incorporating a snippet or riff from an original JB composition and just aping the style, as Arnold and every title composer since Barry have done–I don’t think the Robbie Williams, Portishead, Sneaker Pimps, et al songs that used Barry samples would have been as memorable or successful had they not contained those samples, which in almost every case served as the main hooks of those songs. Maybe I’m biased but I always felt Arnold’s scores were too hollow and frenetic. They got the brassy bang of Barry right but usually lacked the soul and conveyance of emotion and excitement of Barry scores. I’ve tried to enjoy Arnold’s Bond scores, but sometimes I think his desperate aping of Barry’s style has almost turned me off more than say, the work of Hamlisch, Conti, Kaman, et al, as they brought more of their own voice to their respective scores, even if the final results weren’t always the most "Bondian." Even when he quotes motifs from movies like FRWL and OHMSS, it sounds off putting and artificial to me. If it were up to me, I’d just hire someone with a sampler and drum machine to construct scores from all the old Barry 007 music. I’d track the hell out of the new films with his music and I think it would fit perfectly.

It’s akin to getting other composers to do Star Wars…Kevin Kiner and Michael Giacchino are able to nearly replicate the sound and yet something is missing.

For someone who wrote fairly simple and repetitive arrangements, I don’t feel like any current composers or songwriters have ever come close to being able to replicate that Barry sound, except maybe an occasional Japanese composer (Hisaishi sometimes sounds like the second coming of Barry’s more romantic side). "Night At the Opera," "Vesper," and a few snippets from Skyfall came very close to capturing the sound, but still sound a little "off."

Still, in fairness, I will concede the Bond film series never needed Barry to continue, just as it was proven it didn’t need Connery to continue, even if both men contributed elements and measuring posts that survive in the series’ DNA to this day in terms of what makes a proper Bond film.

Was about to write an answer to the previous post, but Animaxander beat me to it ๐Ÿ™‚
In the end it all comes down to personal taste what you prefer or don’t.
The Norman version of the Bond theme is not listed as a single release om discogs, but I did find this: https://www.discogs.com/Monty-Norman-Excerpts-From-Dr-No-Film-Sound-Track/master/993078 and https://www.discogs.com/John-Barry-Seven-And-Orchestra-The-The-James-Bond-Theme/release/1764651
No timing info sadly.
There seems to be some confusion surrounding who actually played the version of the James Bond theme used in Dr. No. The sources Wikipedia uses names The John Barry Orchestra as performing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bond_Theme while on The Best of James Bond 30th… the performer is credited as The Monty Norman Orch https://www.discogs.com/Various-The-Best-Of-James-Bond-30th-Anniversary-Collection/master/116626

@vzok – you should try to do the film edit of "Circus, Circus" with the wild hits (drumrolls) and all. (they were omitted due to CD space issues, according to Kendall)

I’ve found the recent update on the final film version of "Diamonds Are Forever" over at Chrono-Scores and it says you have to edit it and combine it with the Casino music. Mind you, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the film, so I’m 70% sure if this is accurate and my 50th anniversary blu-ray box set are tucked away at storage somewhere (as much as I love the score, the film is on par with "Golden Gun" for me: great Barry score, way too camp/silly of a movie at best). This is what’s written on here (http://chrono-score.blogspot.com/2009/04/diamonds-are-forever.html):

S4 – Circus, Circus (:00-1:01) [Combine]
S21 – Additional and Alternate Cues (1:07-5:02) [Combine and retain the name "Circus, Circus"]

However, I think KaFaraqGatri made the right choice by separating "Circus, Circus" and the Dixieland source cue, as it makes for a better listening experience.

TSWLM – I’m talking about Twiller’s version. 45:29 over 22 tracks, half of which in stunning true lossless version, the other half I would call it satisfying enough.

Check out the other posts in his series, all perfect quality FLACs, broken cue by cue and carefully ordered the way they do in the films.

Apart of that, I also got Bacharach’s Casino Royale in what seems to be a complete form (1:03:40 over 40 tracks; lossless), TWINE (with 15 minutes of beautiful underscore and extras that your version misses; all lossless), Arnold’s Casino Royale (lossless) and QOS (stunning lossless). The latter is an especially interesting one. Doing a side-by-side comparison with KaFaraqGatri’s version, the one I have has 40 minutes more, no duplicates whatsoever.

Naturally I haven’t your tracklist to go off, but your Quantum of Solace sound’s a lot like the first 46 tracks or so off of the two-disc Bond Records bootleg that was released a number of years ago (which, despite being pressed, was partially lossless with tracks from iTunes added to bump up the running time). From that album, if you take away David Arnold’s score (all of which is found on the commercial album with some tracks split up to increase the number of tracks), Four Tet’s remix (iTunes), the title song (instrumental and vocal from the CD single) you’re left with about 42 mins of opera source music, songs by Jaime Cuadra, Wyclef Jean, Nickenson Prudhomme, the Columbia Pictures logo music(!) and three unrelated tracks by Antonio Pinto. None of these Pinto tracks appear in the film and are lifted from the Lord of War soundtrack for some truly bizarre reason. There isn’t even 40 minutes of score missing from the soundtrack album.

Casino Royale (the ‘deluxe edition’ download version that first appeared on iTunes) was later released on Qobuz in lossless but even this version is missing some minor cues (including a rewrite of at least one cue). Perhaps your version is the same as this? Again, just pondering since you haven’t posted anything like tracklists or samples yet. For all I know you have the proper recording sessions!

Regarding Pinto’s music, according to Jon Burlingame, there’s one Pinto source music that "can barely be heard during Bond and Leiter’s bar rendezvous", I haven’t found the time to see why the expanded version has two such tracks.

For TWINE we are talking about one cue that’s currently missing from your version, ‘Bilbao Bank’ at a duration of 2:38 (including the gunbarrel music). The rest is a beautiful suite and an all-instrumental version of the theme song. Couldn’t yet track the source/s of those two.

I DL’ed Twiller’s expansion of TSWLM. It is still missing a lot, like some pre-credits music, etc. I’m not trying to dump on Twiller’s hard work, but I’ll probably stick with the current expansion I have and wait until Kafaraq uploads his next version.

Bacharach’s CR: the tracklist is down below.

I analyzed it, yes. Among the source music provided, there’s 8 underscore cues by Arnold that your version currently misses. That’s 17 minutes of music. See tracklist below. Feel free to send me a PM.

Thanks, astondo. As I suspected, the Quantum of Solace and Casino Royale tracklists you posted match the contents of the Bond Records releases of Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. Neither release contains any additional David Arnold score that is missing from the commercial releases (for example, the film version of Aston Montenegro or the bar escape cue from Quantum of Solace).

CASINO ROYALE

https://www.discogs.com/David-Arnold-Casino-Royale-Complete-Motion-Picture-Score/release/2193686

QUANTUM OF SOLACE

https://www.discogs.com/David-Arnold-Quantum-Of-Solace-Expanded-Original-Motion-Picture-Soundtrack/release/2193514

The running times of each double-disc album are padded out with source music, bonus tracks from other composers/films and some of the original album tracks are split up to increase the track count (Miami International and Time To Get Out, for instance). Quantum of Solace release has the end credit music which is not on the commercial CD (Arnold’s rearrangement of the James Bond theme), but the creators of the CD made it by cutting together the first part of The Name’s Bond…James Bond from CR and pasting it with a DVD rip of the QoS credits beginning after Bond fires at the camera in order to remove the sound effect.

I think you’re confusing Arnold’s CR with Bacharach’s. Here I was only referring to Bacharach’s 1967 score. I haven’t yet compared the 3 expansions/complete versions of Arnold’s 2006 CR.

The running times of each double-disc album are padded out with source music, bonus tracks from other composers/films and some of the original album tracks are split up to increase the track count.

Regarding QOS, I highlighted in yellow the differences from your release, not at all relating to track names or count but the actual music inside. All the yellowed tracks contain underscore, including by Arnold (that is, tracks 16, 17, 24 from CD 1 and 1,3, 8, 10, 19 and 21 from CD 2), that your expansion does not include. Am I wrong? – Sent you a PM.

I think you’re confusing Arnold’s CR with Bacharach’s.

Look again at the Discogs link for Casino Royale. The Bond Records pressing has tracks from the 1967 version as bonus tracks, tracks 8 to 40 on disc 2, precisely as your iTunes screen cap shows.

Regarding QOS, I highlighted in yellow the differences from your release, not at all relating to track names or count but the actual music inside. All the yellowed tracks contain underscore, including by Arnold (that is, tracks 16, 17, 24 from CD 1 and 1,3, 8, 10, 19 and 21 from CD 2), that your expansion does not include. Am I wrong?

Sadly, yes. Not only does your screen cap show that some of these yellow tracks are not by Arnold at all (it lists the proper song title and artists for a few of them) but the content of those tracks is as follows:

– Port-Au-Prince Piers = "Zamni" by Nickenson Prud’homme (as your screenshot shows)
– Tosca Aria Performance/Opera Intermezzo/Leaving The Show And Shootout = Opera source music by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra
– Greene Party Planet = "Regresa" by Jaime Cuadra
– Cocktail Camille = "A Morte" by Antonio Pinto (from the film Senna)
– Confrontation Course = "By Air" by Antonio Pinto (from the film Lord of War)
– The Demise Of Rene Mathis = "Forgive Yourself" on the Quantum of Solace OST
– Felix and James = Another Jaime Cuadra track, but I forget which one
– Greene Arrives at Perla De Las Dunas = First 93 seconds of "Perla de las Dunas" on the Quantum of Solace OST
– The Name is Bond = Taken from the Casino Royale OST
– Trailer Music = Casino Royale trailer music by Pfeifer Broz. Music

As I said, these discs pad out the running time and split up tracks to make them look longer or more complete. For lovers of Arnold’s score, there is nothing new here at all, but for those who enjoyed the source music in QoS or the 1967 CR score by Bacharach, you’re in for a treat.

Also, yay for more people who loves "Moonraker". That film is not as bad as others makes it out to be. It was actually pretty enjoyable, in my opinion. Plus, the Ken Adam space set and John Barry’s score were the highlights for me.

I’m also into Moonraker. Maybe my favourite Bond-film after Thunderball and On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

While it’s certainly cheesy on some levels it also features excellent and even lovely photography – just watch the beginning at the French castle or the scenes in Venice. The effects and model work by Derek Meddings put some aspects of Star Wars to shame – especially since it was done WAY cheaper. And don’t forget if you watch the shuttles launch: at that time THERE HAD NOT BEEN A SHUTTLE LAUNCH WITH THE BOOSTER ROCKETS YET! (That happened in 1983.) Even so they show it very accurately!

Also not to forget the excellent set design! The space station alone is magnificent! And you have John Barry’s score, which was only topped by The Black Hole, my favourite score by this composer.

Glad to see another one that appreciates Moonraker for what it is. ๐Ÿ™‚

And you have John Barry’s score, which was only topped by The Black Hole, my favourite score by this composer.

Agreed. I loved his score for Moonraker because it’s really great. For me, as far as Barry goes, I loved "Diamonds Are Forever", "Robin and Marion", "Somewhere in Time" (I kid you not, one listen at this score, you’ll be running down with all kinds of emotions), "The Lion In Winter", "Moonraker", "The Black Hole", "The Living Daylights", "A View to a Kill", "Octopussy", "You Only Live Twice", "Dances with Wolves", "Out of Africa" and "On Her Majesty’s Secret Service". I won’t lie and say that I also loved his early Bonds such as "From Russia with Love" and "Goldfinger" as well, because it cemented him with the series and gave the series its own musical identity. (though that’s not to discredit Norman, Martin, Kamen, Conti, Serra and Hamlisch respectfully)

"Thunderball"…hmmm. I like his score for that, but I don’t love it at the same time. I can’t place it right now as to why I’m in the middle with that…

Reading Wikipedia about the Thunderball sessions, it sounds like a complete nightmare, especially giving the amount of time the score was recorded and released abridged, etc….

Wow. I certainly hope this means more Bond scores are being expanded. A glimmer of hope that the powers that be are finally hearing the fans and expanding the remaining scores. God I hope they tackle the Moore films, LtK, and Goldeneye.

Is the DAD expansion going to be the complete score, I wonder?

I’m guessing the most likely expansions would be Golden Gun and Brosnan era stuff but I hope tapes turn up for Moonraker, Octopussy, and AVTAK. I am skeptical any tapes have survived for the early Connery scores though.

This is mega!!! It might be DAD but its the first time since the late 90’s that a Bond score has been released through one of the smaller less official labels and is legit!

I don’t mind the score either and it will now be great to finally hear in lossless.


Anaximander
11-24-2017, 04:05 PM
On the one hand I am not holding my breath for expansions of the older scores.

However, this release is pretty huge for a couple obvious reasons. It has opened the floodgates of interest and possibility. There has always been a lot of interest in expanded Bond scores on the web, but before this, it was confined to mostly hopeless musings on message boards. People hoped one of the smaller score labels would be able to get their hands on a Bond score rights, but it was always just a fleeting hope. Until now. Now, it shows us it is possible, barring the dreaded event that tapes have been destroyed or lost. So even if the labels like La-La Land have a difficult time securing the rights to other Bond scores, we can rest assured that demand for other expansions has just increased tenfold. Also, if this sells well (and I imagine it will), perhaps the powers that be (EoN, MGM, whoever else holds rights to the older scores) will see that further expansions are feasible and perhaps get the wheels rolling. I am so ecstatic today. It is appearing now to be not a matter of IF, but only a matter of WHEN we will see further releases of expanded Bond scores.

Again, not holding my breath, but if smaller, dedicated labels are now involved, perhaps someone who cares enough will take the time to pursue other official expansions.


vzok
11-24-2017, 04:35 PM
It says that this release comes from La-La Land, EON and MGM. The fact that they have given this release the go ahead gives some hope that they might do again in the future. It may also mean that they might be more agreeable to a re-recording of Moonraker.

suteki_da_ne0087
11-24-2017, 06:35 PM
However @Anaximander, I am holding my breath for the 90s-2010s scores. My guesses are "The World Is Not Enough", "GoldenEye" (with Altman’s tank music included and the Tiger explosion music), "Casino Royale", "Quantum of Solace" and "Skyfall" (maybe "SPECTRE" too, but I liked Newman’s "Skyfall" more, but that’s just me). I’m not worried about "Tomorrow Never Dies" because I could just play my blu-ray’s isolated score and I’m all set, though a 2-CD would be nice when I’m on the go, etc.

For the older scores, I would like a redo of "The Living Daylights", "Diamonds are Forever" (2-CD) and "On Her Majesty’s Secret Service" (2-CD. I love that ice rink music). Maybe this means we’ll get an official expanded score of "Licence To Kill" for the first time. Gorgeous Spanish guitar music by Kamen and THAT gunbarrel music. Then there’s "The Man With The Golden Gun" that needs to be expanded because the master tapes are still there and I *believe* the tapes to "The Spy Who Loved Me" are still around.

It may also mean that they might be more agreeable to a re-recording of Moonraker.

I hope so too. I would love to hear what wonders Nic Raine would do with this magnificent John Barry score.

Same here. I don’t get the hate either. Possible guesses for the hate is because the theme song is not "Goldfinger", "Diamonds Are Forever", "Nobody Does It Better", "Moonraker", "All Time High", "Licence to Kill", "For Your Eyes Only", "You Only Live Twice" or "GoldenEye". Trust me, there are worst Bond songs out there and the one you’ve mentioned is the only one I could think of ("Another Way to Die").

I’m just wondering how people felt when songs like "Live and Let Die", "A View to a Kill", "The Living Daylights" or "Thunderball" were themes at the time? I could imagine the same reaction as to "that’s not a Bond theme…,etc.", because it was a radical shift in how the times and music were quickly evolving and no one would’ve considered Tom Jones, a-ha, Duran Duran or Paul McCartney & Wings to be sophisticated for Bond.


Anaximander
11-25-2017, 09:36 PM
The song is not the worst. It’s listenable. I particularly like the remix version. Chances are no one will be buying the expansion just for the Madonna song, as multiple versions are readily available elsewhere anyway. And I’m guessing any die hard Bond score fans already have this song anyway

Geof
11-25-2017, 10:56 PM
Speaking strictly for myself & my own tastes, I can say that "Another Way To Die" felt like it at least had some kind of connection to the character of Bond (or perhaps more to the actor, Daniel Craig,) in that it had a kind of menace to its sound. It definitely had the swagger that I associate with Craig. Then, Jack White opens his mouth & it loses a step. Alicia Keyes’ impromptu lines also do the song no favors. Despite that, the music itself feels like it’s been written specifically to represent the recklessness of Bond’s character at that time. It most likely would’ve been much better with another vocalist / lyricist.

"Die Another Day" feels like it has absolutely zero connection to Bond on any level whatsoever. It feels like the result of the producers wanting to have Madonna appear in the movie, but she won’t do it unless she gets to record the main title song. Mind you, I have no idea about the circumstances surrounding her involvement. For all I know, Barbara Broccoli may have asked her outright to perform the song & then the cameo came later. Whatever the case, the song feels completely disconnected to the world it’s supposed to be showcasing. It only works as background music in the Ice Lounge, and that’s not something that deserves to be put front and center of a Bond film.

As for other Bond songs, I’ve rarely had a problem with them. The only other songs that caused a ripple would be "You Know My Name", which was probably the biggest tonal shift in main themes that I’d experienced at the time (though it quickly became one of my all-time favorites once I’d seen the movie,) and "Writing’s On The Wall", which really should not have been sung by Sam Smith. The song itself is fine, he just wasn’t the one to pull off the vocal performance.

The rest of the "lesser" songs are really just that to me: the lesser songs. "Man With The Golden Gun", "Tomorrow Never Dies", "License To Kill", "All Time High", etc. But they’ve "earned" that status by not aging well. They still felt right when I heard them in the title sequence, but they don’t hold up. "Die Another Day" was an affront from the get-go, at least to me.

I bet it sells out fast. I hope it does. It’s really not a bad score and while it seems an odd choice for the (presumably) first in a round of new expansions, it makes perfect sense EoN and the specialty labels would go with DAD, when you think about it. The original album presentation was sorely lacking and 007 music fans have been lamenting this fact for years. Second, if the score for a minor Brosnan outing (and an oft-loathed one at that) sells well, then there should be no question any subsequent expansion will do well. This release is most certainly a testing ground to decide whether further releases are worth the time, money and trouble. Thinking about ordering myself a copy today.

If state of existing OSTs is a determining factor in the order of expansions, then I hope the release schedule will see LtK, Golden Gun, Goldeneye, TSWLM and any other Moore era scores (assuming the tapes can be located and cleaned up) tackled next. I think the already expanded scores (thunderball, yolt, ohms, daf, lald, fyeo, tld, tnd) should take lowest priority, as we already have most of the music available for those film scores. Although it would be nice to see them get a proper presentation with cues sequenced in film order. Also, it would be pretty grand to buildup to 2disc presentations of thunderball and OHMSS as the final releases, the jewels in the bond score crown. Or in the very least, perhaps we can get a "rest of" collection akin to that 50th anniversary Star Trek set where they could assemble odds and ends that didn’t fit on the 2003 expansions–perhaps toss in extras like the single versions of YOLT and Goldfinger and the 12 inch single of AVTAK as a selling point, although I’d be just as happy if title songs were left off future expansions, since they’re already available on a ton of Bond compilations

We’ll probably see more of the Brosnan era scores, mainly the oft requested Tomorrow Never Dies and The World Is Not Enough from Arnold and Serra’s GoldenEye (especially with Altman’s tank chase cue). I’d love to see Licence to Kill and The Man with the Golden Gun someday too, but again, we’ll see how the sales of Die Another Day does. We’ll probably (and I’m just guessing, since I think it’s going with what’s the most requested and what’s "big"), see Craig-era scores (Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall and SPECTRE, though in the case of CR, it was offered as an iTunes exclusive deluxe purchase).

As has been commented, if they’re looking closely at the number of sales this release gets, it is our duty to purchase it in the hope of LaLaLand releasing more scores in the future.

I’m not a huge fan of the score (it’s my least favourite of Arnold’s; the use of the Bond theme in every action sequence feels lazy and the techno stuff has dated pretty badly), but if it paves the way for future releases of scores we all really cherish and which desperately need an expansion, then I’m obviously all for it.

I’ve just ordered my copy as well. As has been commented, if they’re looking closely at the number of sales this release gets, it is our duty to purchase it in the hope of LaLaLand releasing more scores in the future.

Fully agreed. After all these years, us fans should be making every effort to buy this title, especially if it means we get more next year. Incidentally, it’s my least favorite of Arnold’s scores too but that doesn’t mean I think it is bad. I remember being so disappointed with the album that I ripped the front channels from the 5.1 mix, complete with sound effects, just to hear the unreleased cues. How far we have come 15 years later. It’s incredible. Hats off to La-La Land for making this happen and here’s to many more. Well done all you Bond fans here who purchased it.

Completely true, KFG. If you are a true 007 and a 007 music fan, you need to buy this!

For myself actually and I believe for a lot of Bond Afficionados, this is one of the least favorite 007 scores, but there are always bits and pieces in it that makes it good anyway ๐Ÿ™‚

The same for the movie, it is one of, maybe THE worst in the series, but if it wasn’t for DAD, we wouldn’t had Daniel Craig and Casino Royale or the complete reboot neither. Everything happens for a reason! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Thank god, that David Arnold was not taken for granted and still had the opportunity to do CR and QOS and nailed it, in my opinion. Hopefully one day, he will get another chance to do one more.

Worth the purchase if it increases the chance of a TMWTGG official expansion in the near future. There’s also a double demand for Barry expansions these days, as much of his work still remains sadly unexpanded or in some cases the original masters have been lost or damaged ๐Ÿ™

———- Post added at 10:40 AM ———- Previous post was at 10:38 AM ———-

I wouldn’t mind another Arnold score. I think he was maturing by the the time of QoS and it was nice to hear him abandon the techno stuff a bit and move more in a traditional Barryesque direction. Night at the Opera is possibly my favorite non-Barry Bond cue. It has a real ‘007 and counting’ vibe.

Yes, definitely. Not to put down Thomas Newman, who is good, but Arnold needs to make a big comeback.

I also don’t mind Harry or Rupert Gregson-Williams, Henry Jackman, Rachel Portman, Micachu (Mica Levi), Lesley Barber or Marco Beltrami to have a different take with the franchise as well, but I do miss David Arnold.

This is mega!!! It might be DAD but its the first time since the late 90’s that a Bond score has been released through one of the smaller less official labels and is legit!

Just bolding these with emphasis as I think it needs to be stressed enough that everyone should avoid posting it, because again, it needs to sell and we have to see what surprises lies in store for LLL/MGM/EON for 2018 when it comes to Bond music (or any other film scores for the matter).

I know it’s going to fall into deaf ears and people will share Die Another Day, but we have to treat this the same way we treat anything by VS or 20th Century FOX, because it needs to sell.

Perhaps the mods could be persuaded to implement a temporary ban on sharing this release. Until it sells out, or until the new year, in the very least. The powers that be are far less likely to complain if people are sharing an out-of-print score, however if they feel it is cutting into their sales, then, well, I’m sure many of you remember the whole shitstorm that led to FSM scores being banned at this forum. I would really hate to see something similar happen with LLL. The sooner someone posts it, the more likely LLL is to notice and make a fuss. I certainly would if I were the CEO of that label.

Just a quick note, DAD is not actually permitted to be posted here as the film was distributed by 20th Century Fox Fox. Music from films distributed by 20th Century Fox are banned from being posted here. So if it does get shared, it should be reported (similarly to how Varese releases get taken down). I only just learned this recently and took down my links – ironically, just a few days before LLL made their announcement about its release.

Just ordered mine from the UK and will let you know when it arrives. It would be fantastic if this is a watershed for further expanded scores to be released. I know an expanded Moonraker would be an unlikely dream for most of us, but a 2-CD OHMSS or TLD could be a realistic ambition! ��

Speaking of OHMSS and apologies for going off at a tangent, but I remember posting about a year ago wondering if anyone had a version of the Swiss source music from OHMSS, the Oompah and Skating music? I have an average version of these but they’re not great. I note Lukas Kendall mentioned them in an interview about the 2003 remasters, but preferred understandably to prioritise other tracks (I guess limited to the capacity of a single CD) : http://bondandbeyond.forumotion.com/t761-fsm-back-issues-from-2003-lukas-kendall-on-restoring-the-bond-scores

This is the track I’ve got for the Ice Rink music. Possibly the same as you have. I think it was a mono source, probably from the DVD audio channels. I did try and clean it up and tidy up the edit a bit.

So, it’s my understanding Fox holds the distribution rights to A New Hope in perpetuity but that the rights to the other SW films eventually transfer to Disney. At this point, does that mean we can go back to sharing SW sequel and prequel scores?

MrEMAANN
12-10-2017, 05:32 PM
There is a difference in film rights and music rights. Fox owns the rights to the film A New Hope, but Sony had the rights to the soundtracks until Dec. 31, 2016, at which point they went to Walt Disney Records, which re-released them with new covers.

Um, The Simpsons Movie? Not only is the theme played faithfully, but the whole score sounds like a big version of what you’d usually hear in the show.

I know a lot of people like to harp on Zimmer for repeating himself a lot, but I’m sure if the producers put him in the right place, he would be able to sound respectful to the Bond name. It helps that as others mentioned, there’s been odd composers choices in the past, so it’s already been established there’s been detours. Besides, M:I-2 as a whole is considered the oddball in the series itself, so I’d blame Cruise and the producers before him.

You mean Die Another Day? It can not be shared because it was distributed by Fox internationally (in the states, it’s MGM). Plus, I’m hoping that it sold well so that EON/MGM/LLLR can drop another bomb about more expanded Bond scores that really do need expansions ("Licence To Kill" being a holy grail for fans along with "Tomorrow Never Dies", "The World Is Not Enough" and "Skyfall").

—-

Not sure what the future entails of the 20th Century Fox rule, as recent news are saying that Disney merged with Fox, methinks to take full ownership of not only Star Wars and it’s prequels before 2020 but MCU related stuff (mainly to fix/save properties like X-Men and Fantastic Four, just like how Disney saved the Spider-Man franchise), but that’s a different topic altogether and not related to Bond per se, but it’s related to Die Another Day the most.

Just buy it. 30$ is not that bad. Or enjoy the already available bootleg which seems to mostly feature the same material and running order. I’m perfectly happy with the boot version, however I may decide to order this after the new year to help increase chances of future Bond expansions.

I haven’t managed to listen to it all yet but the sound quality on first listen of the first 7 or 8 tracks seems terrific. If you’re wondering, the first track does include the gunbarrel.

The booklet is nicely presented and has a long analysis of both the movie and the score. I think they’ve done a great job. Hopefully this will be the first of many double CD reissues!

Probably same reason here – it was composer original idea to use this "noisy techno sound" (which I actually LOVE, so thanks that LLL didn’t drop them!). And it’s not his guilt that music editors cut this techno overlays.

Why didn’t they include the film version of ”Gustav Graves Grand Entrance”, instead of that noisy techno sound I wonder

As per Neil S. Bulk on the Intrada forum:

"The stereo tapes were provided by David Arnold and had the electronics mixed in. We discussed this and this is how he wanted it. I’m guessing the orchestra only versions were dub stage decisions. There were two cues that had alternate mixes without the electronics and those are included with the additional material."

With all that talk about The Last Jedi having a 54% rotten popcorn score at Rotten Tomatoes, I feel like opening Photoshop and plastering that score onto these Bond films that I’m not too fond of: From Russia With Love (I know fans love this and it’s highly ranked among critics, but to me, "Goldfinger" was the zenith of Connery’s golden age. The movie can be quite complex at times and rather boring. I love the Barry score! Explain that one to me!), "Thunderball" (good Connery moments and I love Fiona, but the film itself is….rather dire. Plus, there are some plot points that are rather silly, such as a random guy saving Domino for plot purposes and talk about those fast forward moments were the movie’s on speed. I’m reading Wikipedia about the film’s production and it sounds like a complete nightmare, especially the soundtrack’s recording sessions), SPECTRE (kinda disappointing after how pumped up I was from "Skyfall" high, kinda like how I was disappointed with "Quantum" after being high on "Casino Royale". Hope the next film’s a big improvement). Moore’s "The Spy Who Love Me" doesn’t get that plastered on it. It’s okay, but watching it again, it’s just a middle film. Moore’s amazing though and I love the score, but Barbara Bach’s wooden and Stromberg is meh. Hadn’t McClory stepped into the picture again, we would have gotten Blofeld and SPECTRE.

For the other Moore films, I think fans said what’s needed to be said except for "Moonraker", "Octopussy" and "A View to a Kill" because I loved those ("Moonraker" and "A View to a Kill" both gets a bad reputation for being the worst, but if you watch them again, they’re not that bad as one makes them out to be. Yes, "A View to a Kill" has Kate Capshaw 2.0 in the form of Tanya Roberts, but Grace Jones and Christoper Walken makes this movie. Plus, it gets very serious at times, though not in the same vein as "For Your Eyes Only"). Same goes for Dalton’s two films, that one and only Lazenby film and all of Brosnan’s, except "Die Another Day" because oh boy, that film didn’t age too well. (I say the same thing for Lucas’ "Attack of the Clones" and Sam Raimi’s "Spider-Man" from that same year, but the latter is more guilty pleasure and at least honored super hero films such as Richard Donner’s "Superman". I can’t say the same for "Clones" because of Lucas’ poor directing, the misuse of CGI a la "Die Another Day", script writing and wooden acting, save for Ewan’s Obi-Wan and I’d wished "Firefly"-era Joss Whedon or someone else at the time was given the job to fix those prequels, but that’s a subject for another time and different thread altogether)

Definitely a must have, I say. While not David’s best (that honor belongs to "Tomorrow Never Dies", "Casino Royale" and "The World Is Not Enough"), there are some gems that are worth listening.

I really do hope everyone gets a copy, because this could prove in numbers that there is a demand for future Bond expansions. Personally, I’d like to see "Licence to Kill", "Tomorrow Never Dies", "The World Is Not Enough", "The Man with the Golden Gun", "Octopussy" and "GoldenEye" get expansions ("GoldenEye", just for the John Altman tank cue and the Tiger helicopter explosion cue). I won’t hold my breath for "The Spy Who Loved Me" just yet, unless those 24-track tapes are indeed from the film sessions and not the LP re-recording, then yeah.

LLL has gone out of stock of DAD, which apparently means that the first batch has sold out. Who knows how big that batch is, but I’d guess they were doing the release in two or three batches. That’d mean maybe 2500 sold so far since December.

I thought it was a 5000 copy run. The site says temporarily out of stock. There will definitely be more with the current demand. Which means there will likely be more Bond expansions on the way.

I agree we need to hold off on sharing the LLL edition. At least for a good long while. We don’t need that sort of negative attention on this site, which will lead to more restrictions on what can be shared. The labels are definitely aware of this forum and what goes on here.

fan-made expansions and permanently out-of-print scores are different. They’re not readily accessible via the market. So hopefully Kafaraq can still share his expansions (at least until we get official versions from specialty labels).


suteki_da_ne0087
02-17-2018, 08:48 PM
DAD is distributed by 20th Century Fox internationally, so sharing anything DAD is off-limits. Call me crazy, but it’s a blessing in disguise, as that means more people would buy the official expanded edition, so that LLLR could release more expanded Bonds. Can you imagine LLLR utilizing the limited range rear recording angles from the original six-track composite soundtrack for "Dr. No", "From Russia With Love", "Goldfinger" and "Moonraker" (unless those "Moonraker" tapes manages to magically appear one of these days) to make a complete soundtrack in the same way LLLR did for Ernest Gold’s "It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"? That would be amazing.

I’m also making up for lost time and supporting by buying the Lukas Kendall expanded editions from 2003, and so far I’m only getting the scores I love (For Your Eyes Only and From Russia With Love, but I hope to get The Living Daylights, A View to a Kill, Moonraker, Octopussy, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, Diamonds Are Forever, You Only Live Twice and The Spy Who Loved Me soon, since you can get these at used bins at CD shops).

Oh yeah, I forgot about the 20th Century Fox caveat.

What are these six-track composites you refer to? Has the existence of such a thing been confirmed regarding older Bond scores? At this point, I’ll take whatever they they can come up with for a Moonraker expansion.


suteki_da_ne0087
02-18-2018, 02:00 AM
What are these six-track composites you refer to?

When LLLR went to do the complete "It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World", they’ve used the limited range rear recording angles from the original six-track composite soundtrack from the film. You can read all about that here (http://www.lalalandrecords.com/Site/MadMadMad.html). Chances are these are still surviving for the three Connery films (four, if they ever want to do a film accurate release of "Thunderball", unless the other unreleased cues that couldn’t fit on the single disc expanded issue are still around) and "Moonraker", since Lowry (the ones who’ve remastered almost all the Bond films for the Ultimate Edition DVDs and eventually the blu-rays), made a 5.1 DTS HD Master Lossless Audio tracks for each of them if memory serves me. In order to make those, one needs those composite soundtracks from the film themselves.

I agree. Whatever one can do for a Moonraker expansion. Hopefully, and this goes back to "Die Another Day", the LLLR CDs sold well enough in order for Nic Raine to have the "okay" to go ahead and rerecord this and probably "The Spy Who Love Me" as well, if those 24-track tapes Kendall mentioned aren’t the film masters.

5000 is the total release run. I believe they print this run in batches. When one batch sells out, they press the next one. I’ve no idea how many batches or of what size. I’ve read in the past that with other soundtrack releases it has been 2 or 3 batches, so this suggests maybe 2000 or 2500 have sold so far.

That article about "It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" was very interesting, thanks.

I think the Nic Raine rerecording of Moonraker has been sidelined now, as Tadlow Records have moved on to doing another project. They would have to finish that one first, so Moonraker would be a long way off.

You mean KaFaraqGatri’s edits or the actual albums themselves? For the KaFaraqGatri expansions for "Licence to Kill", "Moonraker" and "The Spy Who Loved Me", we have to patiently wait until he’s done with them. ๐Ÿ™‚

For the albums themselves, you can find those via search.

"Die Another Day" on the other hand, it’s removed due to the fact that the film is distributed internationally by 20th Century Fox, thus any incarnation, whether if it’s the Madonna single with the remixes (especially the promo album that contains the shortened Dirty Vegas Remix that’s used in both the party scene and end credits), the original album or the newly expanded edition by La La Land, can not be shared in any shape, way or form.

These look very nice. Can I ask where you have got these tracks from. For example in Dr No you have a track for "Bond Meets Honey" that is 5 minutes long, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a track available of that length. Plus another for Bond and Quarrel.

Please use a different music alternative that is similar to Monty Norman’s style. I wanted to extend the OST for a few minutes. This is the case with other bonded bonds. Last week I finished my Moonraker and I did Music Theft of Moonraker/Freefall. last week I finished my Moonraker and made the Theft of Moonraker-Freefall music. At Moonraker I also joined Johan Strauss, who played in Venice.

Hello All,

I share this interesting post I saw on Facebook… Maybe you also noticed it, but to be sure, here it is:

Warren Ringham of Q The Music Show – James Bond Spectacular released the following statement on the James Bond Music Facebook Page concerning an upcoming complete Moonraker concert(s) for 2019 in the UK:

I’m going to be announcing – in the next week – plans to put on a full orchestral concert of ALL the music from Moonraker.

It will be with a 100 piece Orchestra and Choir.

Any of you who know me and know my Bond concerts know that I will make it the most authentic and lovingly created concert it can possibly be. I’ll be using all my contacts from the London Professional circuit to bring something together that will be very special.

Due to the costs involved, I’ll be crowd funding it.

I very much hope you will all support something so many people have asked for for many years. The concert will NOT be recorded.

Seems like a real shame to go to all the trouble to get that size of orchestra together and then not record it. He’d shift a lot of CDs and DVDs to fans to help fund the concert.

I understand your remark, but I think cause of the high price of funding the whole project (production, orchestra, rehearsals etc…) they also want to avoid copyright issues and so on.

To record the concert is one thing, but then to master it to have it in a qualitative taping to release a CD/DVD or digital is almost impossible to do without the help of a soundtrack label IMHO. I’m sure they will have copies of the concert, but will it be good enough to be released without a proper mastering?

All by it, on their website they have a webshop and also soundbites and youtube bits of their regular show, which is really good.

I’m sure it will sound phenomenal although as per the score, its not going to be a very long concert.
Not a 100 piece orchestra and choir but this 29 minute suite is interesting:

My father bought this Album for $1 many decades ago after I kept pestering him about it in a shop. I think I was 5 or 6 at the time.
This brings back many memories looking at that cover. Listening to this countless times as a child when I was obsessed with anything James Bond.

I’m really loving these covers, Lord_Radim. However, I don’t see any covers for The Spy Who Loved Me or Moonraker.

Also, can I offer a bit of constructive critique: In "Octopussy", the theme singer’s name is "Rita Coolidge" not "Rita Goolidge".

Everything else is great. I can’t wait for the "SPECTRE" cover. Definitely these are a must share over at this thread: Thread 90457

I hope David Arnold comes back. However, my statement still stands during the last time there was a discussion about Bond composers:

Yes, definitely. Not to put down Thomas Newman, who is good, but Arnold needs to make a big comeback.

I also don’t mind Harry or Rupert Gregson-Williams, Henry Jackman, Rachel Portman, Micachu (Mica Levi), Lesley Barber or Marco Beltrami to have a different take with the franchise as well, but I do miss David Arnold.

Another one I’ll put on the list, though he’s more into the "hero/space/family-friendly" movies type that made Jerry Goldsmith, Alan Silvestri and John Williams household names and I know that there are a few that likes him here and many that doesn’t mainly because he’s not Remote Control Productions but I digress… but I’m going to put his name on here anyway: Michael Giacchino.

Daniel Pemberton is another one. (his "Man from U.N.C.L.E." score is very Bond-ish)

JUNE / JULY UPDATE

Well, we have some good news (especially for those who want to save on shipping)

Due to vacations, approvals and the July 4th Holiday, we here at La-La Land Records have decided to forgo the June 19 and July 5 release dates and just release 3 titles on Tuesday, June 26!

June 26 releases:

100 RIFLES / RIO CONCHOS – 2 CD SET – $24.98
MAN WITH ONE RED SHOE – $19.98
??? – $19.98

Sorry, but that last one is still a mystery. There will be a separate press release for this title and the series it represents as soon as the studio gives us the thumbs up on the PR!

After that June 26 batch is released, our next batch will be out on Friday, July 13th followed by our final July batch of impossible missions on July 31st.

Could that mystery title be a Bond title perhaps? (the series it presents, Bond series?) If so it could be The Man With The Golden Gun for starters…Fingers crossed!

I hope it’s that Barry score we’ve all been waiting for! The 16-track tapes for "The Man with the Golden Gun" does exist.

I do hope there was enough time to find the missing tapes for "A View to a Kill" and "Octopussy" and that would round up the missing 80s Roger Moore scores.

Hamlisch’s "The Spy Who Love Me" is another holy grail for Bond fans, but 24-track tapes are expensive to master and it’s unsure if these are the film mixes or the rerecording LP mix.

We know an expanded Tomorrow Never Dies will be here at some point. I doubt it will be this soon though.

I have bad news on that front, as I’ve spoken with the man himself, David Arnold on Twitter yesterday afternoon regarding this.

I don’t feel like screencaping our conversation, but here’s how it went:

David: "I’m not planning this btw" (in regards to the expanded TND)

Me: Thanks for the reply! (insert me talking about the story in regards of TND, which is kinda long and I don’t want to bore anyone here, haha!)

David: I mean I’d like to, as the original had stuff missing, but Ive no idea if it ever will be.

After that June 26 batch is released, our next batch will be out on Friday, July 13th followed by our final July batch of impossible missions on July 31st.

Could that mystery title be a Bond title perhaps? (the series it presents, Bond series?) If so it could be The Man With The Golden Gun for starters…Fingers crossed!

This is promising news. I’d even buy an expanded Never Say Never Again, and that score is pure garbage.

So a potential proper Tomorrow Never Dies excites me, to say the least.

"impossible missions" with LLL always refers to Mission: Impossible, in this case Fallout, as they released the last score, and are licensed with them for release. I’m surprised no one guessed that.

^ I did, as LLLR licensed with the Mission: Impossible franchise for quite some time.

Still, here’s hoping for the official expanded scores for the other David Arnold Bonds, though I don’t mind a Barry (a newly redone "Majesty’s", "You Only Live Twice", "The Living Daylights", "Diamonds Are Forever" or " Thunderball" would be nice on 2 CDs with the LP edits/presentation on disc one and the bonus tracks that spans onto disc two being dedicated to the film mixes and never before heard segments of cues. However, "Golden Gun" is my Barry holy grail, along with "A View to a Kill" and "Octopussy") or Eric Serra’s "GoldenEye" with Altman’s Tank Chase cue.

kfg does these scores when he gets time I guess. It would be nice to be able to complete the set.

Of the 3 scores remaining, Moonraker is easy to find. Beyond the CD tracks, the last time kfg put together a Moonraker collection he used gkgyver’s rerecordings of the tracks not on the album. All of these gkgyver tracks can still be found here https://www.youtube.com/user/gkgyver/videos?sort=dd&view=0&shelf_id=3.

TSWLM and LTK are similar to each other. The tracks not on these albums have largely been found (clear of sfx) on the movie audio tracks. The quality obviously isn’t so good, so it’s a question of whether kfg can clean these up enough to want to include them.

It’s due to time and money (or as in the case for the first three Bond films and Moore’s "Moonraker", lack of the master tapes, because they’re probably lost indefinitely). We’re lucky we got an expanded "Die Another Day", but the rest has to do with not only the time and money and the big heads to say "yes" or "no" on releasing these, but also the demand. A lot of people would rather be interested in a John Williams or Hans Zimmer score getting the full CD treatment than, say, a David Arnold or a John Barry (Thomas Newman…maybe, since a lot of his scores are being released by La La Land Records and I hope LLLR will get a deal with Decca to get the master tapes for the full scores to "SPECTRE" and "Skyfall").

We all know that "Moonraker" is lost and sources state that the master tapes are nowhere to be found in France, but probably elsewhere. The first three Connery film scores are lost, probably indefinitely, who knows? "The Spy Who Loved Me" has 24-track tapes full of music, but it’s unsure whether or not these are the film versions or the master tapes for the re-recording, plus 24-track tapes are expensive to master. Eric Serra probably has the master tapes of "GoldenEye", but the John Altman tank chase cue is on digital equipment that is very expensive to master. There is more music for "Thunderball" that didn’t make it to CD and same goes for "Majesty’s" and "Diamonds", but were omitted, due to space on a single CD and in the case for "Majesty’s", a lot of redundant passages in the music. "Golden Gun" *was* going to be released, as there are 16-track tapes of the score, but word got to Kendall (who’ve mastered the CDs) that the project was getting a bit too expensive. This is due to the fact that some of these masters are in Abbey Road and knowing Abbey Road, George Martin, and Paul McCartney…yeah. Had Kendall thought to do a Barry score rather than the Martin one ("Live and Let Die"), we would’ve gotten "Golden Gun". "Octopussy" and "A View to a Kill" are missing at the moment. "Octopussy" was recorded at MGM/A&M records if memory serves me, but there wasn’t enough time to scour the master tapes. "A View to a Kill" was recorded in London, but the tapes weren’t available at Abbey Road for whatever reason (maybe due to time or maybe it got relocated? Who knows for sure).

I was hoping for LLLR to do Kamen’s "Licence to Kill", but unfortunately, they have chosen Kamen’s "Die Hard" score to expand instead, in order to coincide with that film’s 30th anniversary. Can’t complain though, as it expands on the previous LLLR release by utilizing 4 CDs and the stereo version of the film’s opening.

There’s always next year for Bond music though…

I won’t hold my breath but 2019 might give us the "Licence to Kill" we deserve (the film came out in ’89 and 2019 is the 30th anniversary). The official CD needs a fresher sound and the running time is too short.

Unless LLLR decides to ditch "Licence" altogether and give us Arnold’s "The World is Not Enough" for that film’s 20th anniversary.

Goldeneye or the remaining David Arnold scores all should be easily available for expansion. So too should The Man With The Golden Gun, as it was previously ready to go.

LLL have said that EON were very happy with the process and end product for Die Another Day, plus it sold 2500 copies within the first 2 or 3 months, so the next expansion should be appealing to them now.

I imagine they will, since it looks like these disks have more material than the bootleg/complete sessions that have been out (and not disregarding HP & JB’s fanbases).

Sorcerer’s/Philosopher’s Stone looks to have almost exactly everything the sessions leak has, plus some bonuses (I’ve not seen "Hogwarts Forever Vocal Version" anywhere before).

Chamber of Secrets definitely has more material, including ‘Ransacked Dormitory’, ‘The Chamber Opens’ insert* and the alternates.

And Prisoner of Azkaban… just has more.

*I did a hypothetical mix of 8m2 Pit of Bones/Goodbye to Memories & Harry Goes to Find Ginny. Removing the silences and crossfading them gives a length 30 to 40-some seconds short of the LLLR track (‘The Chamber Opens and The Search for Ginny’ – 3:29).

I’m just amazed any of these are getting expansions. These were my pipe dreams. All four at once…

Too many effects on the movie audio tracks to do anything decent with a track like "Body Double", so not for that one. LLL probably has the others covered?

Firstly, mad excited by the slew of awesome LLL releases about to come out.

Secondly, with regards to no post of Fox material, I checked the banned thread – Nothing from Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation – and checked the wiki link provided for the list of affected productions. The only Bond move here is Die Another Day, which so far is also the only Bond movie to have been released by 20thCFFC. Does the ban extend to films distributed by 20thCF Home Entertainment? Or non Film Corp releases that just happen to be distributed somewhere by Fox? Surely if the film isn’t on the wiki list the banned thread links to, then it’s not banned?

My head hurts.

Does anyone think the TWINE expansion will include the film version of The World Is Not Enough? The film version has some trumpet blasts as the very start of the track (there’s three just as the title appears)?

On that note, I literally just realize that this will be the first EON Bond album to include the intro song in 10 years/since Quantum of Solace.

Merry Christmas SiBorg ๐Ÿ™‚

OP posted the film version in his TWINE expanded edit in this very thread, should the LLL set not include it. And the trumpet is present throughout the song, it’s in more than just the intro. I prefer the film version over the album version even though (like most Bond songs) it’s abridged.

I’m more surprised, with all the alternative tracks they have included, that the film mix of "Body Double" isn’t on there.

Same here. It’s a great set but really wanted that piece (even though, I think, it is just the original multi-track cue with sections muted in the film). The demo sung by David Arnold I am excited for; he has a great singing voice and his live version on YouTube is wonderful.

Same here, the film mix is more Bondian. I quite like the shorter mix too, but the album version is still great. I love that opening string melody, it’s gorgeous.

For years I’ve had a DVD audio rip of "Body Double" in my TWINE playlist, for some reason I thought I’d cleaned it up as much as I could, with dogs barking and planes taking off in the background. When I saw this track wasn’t on the new CD, I looked at again, and got rid of a lot of those noises. Listening to it afresh, you are quite right. It is just the same track with the strings and synths to the fore and the techno percussion mainly dialled right down, and sometimes turned off altogether. I guess they thought it would sound jarring with that backing cutting randomly in and out.

Sounds right. It seems a bit unclear as to whether or not TWINE can be shared, but if it can I’d hope it could be held back for 3 or 4 months. Most sales would be in that period.

I agree with you both. There should be some sort of restriction on LLL labels not being posted for the first few months of release or so. Why do you think I keep making the point that TWINE technically can’t be posted? Because it’s banned and because I want it to sell. So for the survival of the forum and for the release of future Bond scores from LLL.


suteki_da_ne0087
12-04-2018, 05:54 PM
Yeah, we have to restrict the LLL Bonds, especially since they’re both banned and I want them to sell too so that we can get more Bond scores.

The 2003 Capitol/EMI Bond remasters by Kendall flopped so hard IMO, you can find them at bargain bins, eBay and Amazon for less than the price they were sold back then (though I wouldn’t say "flopped" because that’s a harsh word for such a monumental release that I’m sure Kendall tried to make perfect, but wasn’t able to because of restrictions at the time, hence the track order was more of a listening experience with bonus tracks that showcased a fraction of the scores). I’m still trying to collect those, just to support Bond music. I only have FYEO and FRWL officially. The rest are on vinyl (I have two "Goldfinger" releases on vinyl because one is mono and one is stereo).


Cameron007
12-04-2018, 07:28 PM

Anaximander
12-04-2018, 07:41 PM
I agree, let’s hold off and not ruin a good thing

My advice, keep to back channels if requesting/sharing it. I think the best though would be if people at least wait until the initial run of pressings sells out. I think sharing out of print scores is a lot more forgivable with this sort of release, whereas sharing something that is easily bought and in ready demand just looks bad. I would hate to see LLL ban all of their scores from this forum over something like this, and I also think it’s best we do anything we can to support the labels so that it will make them more likely to release this sort of thing in the future, because while I really don’t care about seeing Arnold expansions, I am hoping we will eventually see the classic Barry scores all restored and expanded. This is exactly the sort of release that could draw the negative attention and ire of these labels if people go crazy sharing it within weeks of its release, and I would hate to see the plug pulled on any future expansions because of a few impatient people being blamed over less than stellar sales numbers. We really don’t need a repeat of FSMGate here. especially considering this and similar forums are frequented by at least one or two industry insiders or those with connections to insiders.

These released didn’t exactly flop hard. They were mid-priced releases to begin with, and I suspect the reduced price has more to do with the shrinking CD market. The other issue was that many of the releases were not expansions but re-releases, with only a mild improvement in sound. I’m glad I was able to pick them all up.

Why is Kendall the main reason?

There was a big fuss several years back over people sharing lossless copies of The Ron Jones Project boxset, and this ultimately led to the current ban here on sharing any FSM releases, even those out-of-print and now difficult to find ones (which I think should be allowed as long as physical stock at various labels no longer exists, but that’s just my opinion). They were sharing links here within days of its release. It’s a big dollar item, 14 discs. Personally I think it was an overly ambitious project and it was always going to be difficult to see profits that justified what went into producing that set. I seem to remember reading somewhere where he said they took a loss on that set but I don’t know if that was partially due to people pirating it (I have a feeling that most of the people who downloaded free copies wouldn’t have otherwise dropped a huge chunk of money on a physical copy anyway, since the most diehard Star Trek score collectors were probably still willing to pay for a physical copy), but I can understand how frustrating it must have been for him to see people casually sharing free digital copies of the culmination of his hard work.

Licensing issues (methinks with the label, etc.). Adele costs money, as does Sam Smith and the late Chris Cornell. It’s kinda skewed as to how this goes, but it’s a huge mess. I hope LLLR convinces the labels to add the title songs for the Craig films, but it’s unlikely as LLLR had ran to licensing issues before (Madonna and Celine Dion saying "no" for their respectful songs to be added to the expanded releases for "Die Another Day" and "Titanic" respectfully, the first LLLR expanded issue of "Home Alone" not including some of the songs until the 25th anniversary by LLLR, "Ferris Bueller’s Day Off" not including some of the songs such as "Taking the Day Off", "March of the Swivelheads" and "Twist and Shout", etc.). This isn’t limited to LLLR but also Intrada (they’ve omitted the Bryan Adams song from the expanded score of "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" this year due to licensing rights). I’m surprised Garbage manged to say "yes" this year for the expanded release of TWINE.

I managed to get a copy of LLLR TWINE. It’s been worth the 19 years wait, the gun barrel and bank escape is wonderful and funky. I also loved hearing the elements track where the gun barrel is broken down into sperates.
Was a bit disappointed the boat chase track was not the film version, but still enjoyable after all these years.
I’m hoping LLLR will next year release TND as it will most definitely benefit. There are so many cues and tracks that never made it commercially. It has lots of bond themes throughout as this was David’s first outing as a bond composer and he took full advantage of using the bond theme.

As far as I can tell, the Thames Boat Chase (Film Version) simply loops a portion of the previous material with the percussion and electronics stems dialed down before resuming the full mix of the cue for when Bond goes blasting back into the water. The cue(s) presented on the original album and the LLLR edition are what was originally recorded.

Still missing is the "Main Titles" mix of the title theme, which featured brass overlays and more of the orchestra.

Also missing is the "film version" of the end credits suite. "Orbis Non Sufficit" is prominently used during the end credits, but there was actually another piece of music (NOT "Company Car" from TND) that formed the intro of the end credits. That piece was not included on this set.

The film version of "Body Double" is just a different mix of the album track. They just dialled the background percussion up and down (and sometimes out). It actually makes for an odd listen when you aren’t watching the movie. The album version sounds better.

But if they could have provided an orchestral version that would have been a nice contrast.

That’s not the case, from what I understand. There was an additional cue, albeit with similarities to Company Car, that was used to create the film version of the end credits. "Orbis" was Arnold’s intended End Credits, so it appears on the CD.

The film version of the boat chase is not an actual cue but obviously done late in the mixing as La La Land usually make their albums based on the tapes they get. As in Die another Day the two cues that have the techno beat taken out were an editorial decision and not David Arnold’s intention but in the film you can barely hear the music when bond drives through the cafe as the SFX overpowers everything.

I’m assuming that the version of the film that Arnold originally scored either did not feature the "restaurant" portion or featured a very abbreviated version of it. When the picture changed, rather than re-record (very costly), the music editor simply tracked an earlier segment of the cue and dialed out the electronic percussion. It’s a rather nasty musical edit, so I am not terribly sad to see it’s not available on this edit.
Update: See below. No tracking or looping at all – and there’s actually no "Edit" per se either – just dropping the electric guitar AND percussion. Mystery solved.

As for the bunker, the full version of that music is new to LaLaLand – as it appears in the finished film. The original album featured a cut down version that flows better musically. This version appears on disc 2 of the LaLaLand release.

I wonder, does LLL re-watch the movie ‘stop-pause’ when they make ‘film versions’ of cues/sequences or do they follow notes from the composer/editor?

Sometimes, yes, they will. On something like the new Harry Potter collection, there’s a lot of detective work to be done – because they are amassing reels and reels of multitrack elements.

From what I gather on these Bond projects, especially DAD, David Arnold supplies the producer, Mr. Bulk, a lot of material that has already been edited and mixed down to stereo, with very little "assembly" needed. At least that’s how I understand it.

UPDATE ON THE "THAMES BOAT CHASE"

– so I synced up the picture to the soundtrack and finally figured out exactly what happened. There was actually *no* tracking or looping. The cue plays more or less exactly as written, and as appears on the soundtrack. What happened was, when Bond jumps his boat up onto the restaurant, the sound editor dialed out BOTH the electric guitar stem AND the percussion stem, leaving just the orchestra. The electronics re-join the cue as Bond’s boat barrels into the Thames –

Mystery solved. Like "Body Double", the film version of this cue is only mixed differently – it doesn’t contain any new music or even any tracking. Shame they couldn’t have included an "Orchapella" version of the boat chase, as Arnold did on a his two early Shaken & Stirred singles. Here’s hoping we get a version of "Backseat Driver" sans electronics on LaLaLand’s new version of Tomorrow Never Dies…

Yes, I agree. This is what happened with a few Bond cues by David Arnold, e.g. with "Ice Palace Car Chase" where the electronic percussion stems are not in the film version at the beginning of that track either.

LLL are doing Tomorrow Never Dies? My absolute favourite Bond score ever and sorely in need of a fully fleshed out release! The bootleg version is pretty decent, but LLL’s magic touch is just what’s needed. I always enjoyed the use of electronics that Arnold started to use more and more with the Brosnan films, but TND was just pure symphonic joy and Bond at his best.

*Gets in line*

I have a feeling we’ll see the remaining Brosnan era scores expanded. Hopefully Goldeneye included the Altman Tank Chase music. After that, I am guessing we’ll start seeing new expansions of Barry era scores, probably starting with TMTGG. If nothing else, they’ll at least pad out the Barry scores that already saw expansions in 2003, for instance Thunderball, which saw part of the score omitted to fit a single CD. I highly doubt we’ll ever see Dr No or FRWL get expanded releases, as I’m skeptical the masters have even survived this long.

Personally my holy grails are all of the unexpanded Moore era scores.

Same here. Not only I would love to see an expanded TMWTGG, but also A View to a Kill, The Spy Who Loved Me, and Octopussy. Moonraker is wishful thinking but I doubt those master tapes will be found and we have to rely on a re-recording of the complete score if EMI finally gives the okay to Nic Raine for the cancelled project. Sad, because Moonraker is my favorite Barry score. Then there’s For Your Eyes Only. I would love to see it properly sequenced with more stuff that wasn’t on the older expanded edition and without the crossfades between the cues.

I have a feeling we’ll see the remaining Brosnan era scores expanded. Hopefully Goldeneye included the Altman Tank Chase music.

Though we haven’t heard anything official from LLLR, I’m just making a guess about this as well. They’re really going through the Brosnan era backwards, which *may* lead to GoldenEye, complete with the Tiger Helicopter cue, the Gunbarrel cue, the Contra Dam cue, and the John Altman Tank cue (I’ve probably missed a few cues, but those are the only ones I know so far that are missing at the moment. Perhaps the film versions of "The Experience of Love" and "GoldenEye" might show up too, though Tina Turner already released the film version via her single way back in 1995 and had since been remastered for the compilation "Best of Bond…James Bond: 50 Years – 50 Tracks").

Since LLLR is doing great with classic stuff (Land of the Giants being one of them), I would love to see "Thunderball" getting the treatment it deserves with the cue that plays when Fionna is driving fast or the cue that plays when Bond is telling Domino about what happened to her brother.

This wishful thinking also leaves out the two Dalton scores. Licence to Kill still hasn’t gotten a proper expanded edition, despite the original CD having some bulk of the score, but missing a lot of great cues such as the cue where Bond gets into the pool with Pam and the casino music.

The one unreleased cue from GoldenEye no one ever talks about is the tension buildup that should be at the end of "Fatal Weakness". It plays as the train explodes and when Boris blows up the pen. It’s a great little buildup and I would love to see it released.

The Experience of Love in the film is purely an edit of the album track. GoldenEye, however, is a special mix and is not the same as the single version. Although the single has the film ending, the mixing is different in at least one spot (and the bass line is slightly different). Still, if all we ever got was the single version on an expansion, I’d still be pretty happy ๐Ÿ™‚

Are you referring to the re-recording by Praque? It’s close to the film version but not the original recording.

Awesome. Wish OP put up a detailed description of the editing process and what was done to the cue to make it the film version.

I’m not sure if the YouTube user intended to present this as being legit but if they are, to start with Backfire is an album track title and not a cue, so that should be the first clue that this is fan edit. The car chase sequence in the film, as I understand it, consists of three cues:

– Palazzo Escape/Chase 1
– Rome Chase 2
– Rome Chase 3

I’ve only played it once but the version uploaded to YouTube appears to be a simple looping/cutting job using the Backfire track as the main source, augmented by some Blu-ray or DVD rips. For instance, the opening appears to be a loop of the same 4-bar motif, maybe taken from the Blu-ray, before it cuts straight to 0:23 of the album track. I hear some fairly wet brass between 1:40 and 1:45, the former of which is missing the first couple of milliseconds and fades in too quickly; these sound like recordings done with more distantly-placed mics, implying they are rear channel 5.1 or 7.1 rips. Furthermore, it is presented as one long track when it should be three pieces of music.

In short, if you bring the YouTube audio into a DAW and lay is against the album track you can see where looping has occurred to make it seem longer (and where the additions are). It’s certainly a lot better than most fan edits, but even the mastering appears to match the album track so I am inclined to think it is not legit.

Having said all of that, Spectre is the score I am least familiar with so some of my observations may be incorrect!

There’s an article stating why Kendall omitted the skate waltz. Sad, because it’s pretty much right up there with "Circus, Circus" from Diamonds are Forever:

5. Do You Know How Christmas Trees Are Grown?
Sung by Nina Wild [sic] (note: her name is actually credited as Nina on the recording but her name is Nina van Pallandt.)

The most hated song in the Bond canon— although recently supplanted by Madonna— it actually sounds much better now that it’s been remixed and re-equalized. There was a second source cue at the Swiss town, which we did not include. It has two parts: an oompah-oompah part and a more lyrical string line (what fans call the “skating” music), and it is used several times. Barry did write and record it, but I figured people loathed “Christmas Trees” so much, I wouldn’t dare give them more “oompah” music.

Yes I’m not sure what the real audio quality is on that track. It’s so long since I worked on it I can’t even remember where I got it from. I don’t think I ripped it from the movie audio, but I did do a fair bit of trimming and looping on it to try and replicate how it features in the movie.

Bond movie music has been instrumental (see what I did) in propelling even the lesser entries in the movie catalogue to a level of entertainment that many people find quite enjoyable. While "A View to a Kill" has some elements that are very cring-ey (I’m sure you can offer your own thoughts on which elements I mean) the music (orchestral as well as vocal) helps the viewing experience tremendously. While not every main title song intended for radio airplay is a winner, I certainly am glad that McCartney forced the issue and demanded that he be allowed to perform his own song for "Live and Let Die", despite some "suits" being wary. But, new Bond meant some new approaches. And on it goes…

License to Kill (or originally License Revoked) has always been one of my favorites due to Dalton’s performance.

I hope so too (or maybe Intrada), because I am sure now that there is enough funds to transfer 24-track tapes of music. Perhaps Kendall might reconsider or give it to Bulk instead, since Bulk is amazing with the Bond remasters so far. My dream TSWLM CD is a two CD with disc one being the film presentation and disc two being the LP re-recording.

However, it seems to me that Bulk wants to get rid of the Brosnan films and we might see Tomorrow Never Dies this Christmas and perhaps the next one is GoldenEye because of the 25th anniversary of that film in 2020.

For "Moonraker", I know that the film tacks on a few Classical scores, such as Johann Strauss II’s "Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka, op. 214" during the gondola scene (too bad there’s no information as to which recording did Lewis Gilbert used), Tchaikovsky’s Romeo & Juliet Overture (again, I don’t know which recording did Lewis Gilbert used) and Elmer Bernstein’s main theme for the film, "The Magnificent Seven" (this is definitely Bernstein for sure and not a re-recording).

There’s also Richard Strauss’ "Also Sprach Zarathustra, op. 30" with the hunting horn and the door playing Williams’ "Tones" from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", but these are more in-joke, because of the whole Bond in Space theme.

Actually, that’s a re-recording, no question about that. The arrangement is pure Barry, and the music is perfectly tailored for the onscreen action.

I forgot to mention, in TSWLM, the Lawrence of Arabia music was also re-recorded for the film, as it segues naturally into the music for the boat ride.

As much as I love John Barry’s work and want to see all of his Bond scores expanded, an expanded Licence to Kill is one of my "holy grails".

I just hope that these LLLR expanded Brosnan Bonds will open doors for the others (either by LLLR, Quartet or Intrada, though I don’t trust the latter because of what they’ve did to Barry’s "Legend of the Lone Ranger" despite the fact that Twilight Time already found the isolated score…). For me, I just want these to be in a great expanded form:

The Spy Who Loved Me (Disc 1: Score Presentation, Disc 2: Remastered Re-Recording LP)
Moonraker (planned Nic Raine re-recording as the recording sessions are lost or probably thrown away, who knows…)
For Your Eyes Only
Octopussy
A View to a Kill
The Living Daylights
Licence to Kill
GoldenEye
Tomorrow Never Dies

Well if people buy these then yes, I would imagine. I still went ahead and brought TWINE even though I’m not keen on the film or score. I do enjoy Come in 007… and Body Double but the rest is meh. In fact I find all of Arnold’s pre-credit music top draw. Fortunately we now have the gun barrel and bank escape plus a nice bonus of demo tracks sung by Arnold who can hold a note but I find myself reaching for DAD still. Its a great score to drive to IMO. Love the cuban music and about 75% of that score. Doesn’t lack in Bond theme either which is always a good thing.

ummm….Moonraker being lost and Davout etc. That has been put to bed. In Burlingame’s book he goes as far to confirm the tapes were ferried to London by Dan Wallin for mixing and dubbing. Even if they are lost or are in a place where they shouldn’t be, who’s to say there isn’t a dup? or at worst, take it from the multi track dialogue/effects/music.

The score can be released, but also as Burlingame states, EON own the rights to all the session masters. If they want to release them, then they will. They need to get on it though, something else we know from Lucas Kendall is that the tapes are degrading… some 2 track 1/4" Thunderball dups were so bad he reverted to the 30th anniversary LP master for part of the 2003 release.

I need to get that Burlingame book sometime. Sounds quite fascinating.

Yeah, if there’s a duplicate tape of the Moonraker sessions, then that shouldn’t be a problem (I believe these duplicates helped in making the newer sound mixes for the Lowry remastering of the Ultimate Bond/Bond 50 DVD/blu-rays). Perhaps a big Bond box set from LLLR would be nice, just like what LLLR did for John Williams’ Harry Potter scores last year. Problem is that they might have to do Barry, Hamlisch, Conti, and Kamen Bond, as George Martin’s Bond is the reason why we didn’t have "The Man with the Golden Gun" in the first place. But like you said, EON owns all the rights and if they want to release them, then they will. It just has to take LLLR to get the "okay" from them to get started on it.

Hi all, I recently purchased the La La Land soundtrack of The World Is Not Enough and must say that it’s rather good. The audio quality is excellent and it’s brilliant to finally get a lot of the missing cues from the original soundtrack.

I’ve attempted to create an ‘ultimate’ version of the soundtrack. It’s not that different to the LLL version, but features the correct length version of the main title of the movie. I also cut the gunbarrel as an individual cue as I like to have those separately. I put in the correct version of the end title sequence (which I think was sourced from the original expanded version on here), plus the bonus versions of the main title (album version, UNKLE remix etc). I think it’s probably the most extensive version of the soundtrack I can get for now.

Will you guys have a look and let me know if there’s anything you think is missing? Apologies for the poor screen grab – it’s difficult cutting together several pages from iTunes.

Also I can’t for the life of me embed the image here so here’s a link:

Would be good to have your feedback!

Yes I believe it is the film edit of the main title. I can’t remember if it’s something I got from this forum or it’s an edit I did myself comparing the BluRay with the album version and making the appropriate edits. I’ve done it on quite a few of the titles which are subtly different to the LP versions (OHMSS, Moonraker, Another Way To Die). Afraid I’ve only got it as an mp3.

The film version of Orbis Non Sufficit was done in the dub; Arnold’s intended version is on the LLL set. Neil S. Bulk commented on this a while ago:

"Our tapes had one take marked "End Credits". It was the very last thing on the tapes. These are the intended end titles. It sounds like the opening in the film was replaced with something from "Tomorrow Never Dies". We couldn’t do that."

I suggest switching Track 51 and Track 35 on your set, denoting the latter track as the "film version" to include as part of your bonus tracks.

Additionally, it’s not entirely possible to create the film version of the Garbage title song by just cutting down the album version, as the two mixes are different with different orchestral overdubs and a couple of special multi-track edits. However, cutting down the album version to match the film version’s length is an actual version of the song (commercially unreleased), entitled The World is Not Enough (Short Mix), so you may want to rename your Track 6 to reflect this.

I find it super hard to believe that Orbis Non Sufficit was the real End Credits for TWINE – it’s cut up so abruptly in places, i’m like, "was the real version?" thankfully the one used in the film with the TND intro was better.

I know a lot of you have been waiting for this, but I am not really happy with how it turned out. This was the hardest of the lot to compile given the lack of source material and its quality; the commercial album is clearly a far better presentation of the main elements of the score. However, for completion’s sake, this poor man’s expanded edition is now available for those who want to hear selections of the music as presented in the film.

I’m shocked that there is no YouTube video anywhere that has a clip of the film version of "Ride to Atlantis" (too lazy to break out my box set and rewatch the movie, haha). I remember loving it. The ski chase is on YouTube. Not only just the bass make it memorable but also the strings and the emphasis on the cowbells.

I’m just saying that there are more pressing scores that would benefit from a more substantial release (TSWLM, LTK, any of John Barry’s). But I don’t want to sound greedy – the expanded versions of TWINE and DAD are fantastic and a must-have for collectors.

You’re absolutely right, but I always prefer an official album mixed from the original recordings as intended by the composer, so that you get to experience the music in it’s purest form, without any editing for the film etc. The score to TND suffered horrendous editing to fit the film that was constantly being recut. Thankfully we have clean tracks from the official soundtrack albums, but there’s a wealth of material that’s only available on bootlegs… plus was there anything else recorded that we don’t know about?? Also, I love to buy the official CD’s to support the work specialist labels like LaLa Land, Intrada & Varese Sarabande do. They put in a lot of time, effort and money to present soundtrack lovers with wonderful holy grails, often in complete form for the first time. If we don’t don’t support their work, they’ll stop producing the CD’s. Bootlegs are fine if there’s no alternative, sure, but a professionally mixed album from the original recordings wins hands down for me.

I finally managed to get the expanded TWINE elsewhere. I’m hoping that with all the recent Blu-Ray/4K remasters, maybe someone could rip the Garbage Main Title in 5.1 (or whatever the highest quality it was mixed into the movie) and share it?

Hey,

Does anyone have a clean, FX-free version of the gun barrel from Octopussy?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvhsYoevrZE

The one in this thread is actually an edit from a track on the album (‘Gobinda attacks’), so you’ll notice a subtle difference between the orchestration of the two:

https://youtu.be/4yBO89TBujI?t=33

Also I’d be intrigued to know how you got clean gun barrels for The Man With The Golden Gun and A View To A Kill. Perhaps KaFaraqGatri could shine some light on that ๐Ÿ™‚

A clean FX-free version of the Gun Barrel from Octopussy is a little difficult. There’s literally no way to remove the SFX of the trucks at the end of the last part. The gun shot, yes.

Yep. There is a subtle difference between the two, as the one on "Gobinda Attacks" is a tad faster than what Barry wrote for the Gun Barrel. I tried making my own by lowering the pitch by -1 semitone, but it came out rather bad, so I’ve deleted it.

I love the orchestrations for this Gun Barrel. Very nice.

All that’s missing is Acrostar (the cue before Bond goes to the gas station), Property of a Lady (the auction scene), Checkpoint Charlie and Delhi (I think vzok already did this one). There’s wonderful recreations by gkgyver though.

We’re very fortunate that gkgyver did so many great cues, in particular delivering a complete TMWTGG and Moonraker. I often listen to those 2 scores. A shame that he wasn’t able to continue.

I think it does the job, but would be interested to hear what everyone thinks! I’ve taken the great airbase cue that gkgyver so faithfully recreated at the end.

This sounds nice! Here’s hoping for the expanded LLL score in 2020 for the 25th anniversary. Neil just needs to get "Stargate" and hopefully "Tomorrow Never Dies" out on the market soon. I feel bad for the guy because he got some hate after he announced that the 500th soundtrack for LLL was Planet of the Apes (I love those movies and those scores, but that’s story for another time. I defended him on Twitter. He seems like a chill guy).

suteki_da_ne0087
08-16-2019, 06:24 PM
This particular The Spy Who Loved Me expanded score is really close to what’s being heard on the film. Yes, a chunk of the re-score is used to fill in sections that has SFX and muffled dialogue sections and a lot of the chunks are similar to the first expanded The Spy Who Loved Me, but the opening ski chase score is close to what’s being heard on the film, minus the punchy cowbells. There’s the string section added and the horns when Bond says "so does England!". The classical source cues are absent from here (Bach’s "Air on the G String" with the infamous shark death and Mozart’s "Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major, K. 467 – Adante" when the Atlantis is rising), plus Hamlisch’s take on Maurice Jarre’s "Lawrence of Arabia" theme, but they are not needed. Same can be said if one were to do an expanded score to Moonraker and omit Johann Strauss II’s "Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka, Op. 214" AKA the gondola scene with the double-take pidgeon and John Barry’s take on Elmer Bernstein’s The Magnificent Seven theme.

I got to say that KaFaraqGatri really did a great job on this Academy Award-nominated score (lost to Williams’ Star Wars). I hope his expanded Moonraker will deliver similar results.

I edited the Spy Who Loved Me soundtrack and used the music from youtube. One was original, then another instrumental version of the introductory music, and the rest was what Hamlisch composed. So I actually used alternative music in the soundtrack to extend Soundtrack + and that Mozart called Atlantis Base. Somehow ๐Ÿ™‚

I’m sure that these classical pieces were recorded by Marvin Hamlisch for the movie, so using any available recording of these cues wouldn’t be quite the same.

The version of Bach’s Air On A G String as Atlantis rises out of the sea sounds particularly different. It isn’t possible to ge a very clean copy of these recordings from the movie soundtrack either.

Even the original album tracks sounded better than on the original album, to my ears! Bar finding, restoring and releasing the original tracks officially, I don’t think the score to this film will ever sound better. This is going right in my set of top, multi-play albums.

My work is nothing compared to what a professional could do with the original tracks, so whilst I respect you remarking how good these sound, to me they are pretty lo-fi and could easily sound better if properly remastered from archival masters.

I guess David Arnold will never be returning to the franchise. Seems unlikely, given that it’s been 11 years since his last 007 film score. That’s longer than any of the hiatuses taken by John Barry. Seems the producers are uninterested in using him. It’s a shame, because with Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, I thought he’d finally matured into a style that got away from the techno-heavy style he’d done on the Brosnan films. I mean, maybe he could return to score some future Bond outing, but it seems less and less likely at this point. He was the closest thing to the Barry sound we were ever going to get. He understood the DNA of Bond film music unlike any other composers (with the exception of Barry), whilst also taking the music into a more modern direction.

I’d have liked to see him return to close the Craig era with a score and hopefully at least co-composer credit for the next title song. And it would be cool to see him reprise some of the motifs and elements he introduced in CR and QoS

With the expanded version released in 2003, pretty much all of the music is now available, but there are still a few missing cues that I???ve tried to incorporate into this longer version for you.

I’ve built on the amazing job KaFaraqGatri did, with a few additions and amendments:

* The ???Main Title??? reflects the version heard in the film with the repeating refrain at the end
* ???Resignation Memories??? is based on something I came across on YouTube; I have to fess up – this is not the exact version heard in the film. It dawned on me today that there???s a cue in this scene that has never been released (listen here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPnYNmTWbFs) It???s similar to the cue heard at the end of the ???Journey To Blofeld???s Hideaway???, but the instrumentation is different and it???s double time. I???ve included this version for reference, but it???s not completely accurate.
* ???Berne (Source)??? is based on vzok???s brilliant job of sourcing the brass band music heard in Berne. I???ve looped it so it flows a bit better and have added a bit of reverb on the end for a more pleasing finish.
* ???Ice Rink (Source)??? is also from vzok, but again looped more rhythmically and with added reverb.
* ???Car Chase??? actually reflects the cue heard in the film, rather than just a copy from the main OHMSS theme.

I don’t mean to knock anyone’s hard work in making expanded OHMSS scores, but I thought most of the ‘unreleased’ bits were tracked/recycled parts of the score re-used in a few spots?

I think he???s just trying to get a movie order soundtrack together. I often do that for Bond too. The Bond theme is badly edited in OHMSS, but I do like the extended version for the Little Nellie flight in YOLT.

Well, the ice rink music and the oompah band music is not on the album.

For anyone who is really into getting their version of the album to sound like the movie, then Dusk At Piz Gloria is largely unused. About the first 15 seconds only makes the movie before John Barry switches to the first bit of Bond Meets The Girls.

Was just listening to KaFaraqGatri’s edit for A View to a Kill. Question for anyone who knows – what music is the first 19 seconds of Stacey Attacks? It sounds so familiar, but I don’t know what part of the film that bit is from. (I know the last 10 seconds or so of the cue is when Stacey attacks Zorin in the blimp, before the main part of Golden Gate Fight). Any help would be appreciated! ๐Ÿ™‚

My guess is that this music was intended to underscore the precursor to the Golden Gate Bridge fight, but that it was dropped from the final cut.

As long as they have some James Bond Theme incorporated in the movie I’m good!

I guess David Arnold will never be returning to the franchise. Seems unlikely, given that it’s been 11 years since his last 007 film score. That’s longer than any of the hiatuses taken by John Barry. Seems the producers are uninterested in using him. It’s a shame, because with Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, I thought he’d finally matured into a style that got away from the techno-heavy style he’d done on the Brosnan films. I mean, maybe he could return to score some future Bond outing, but it seems less and less likely at this point. He was the closest thing to the Barry sound we were ever going to get. He understood the DNA of Bond film music unlike any other composers (with the exception of Barry), whilst also taking the music into a more modern direction.

I’d have liked to see him return to close the Craig era with a score and hopefully at least co-composer credit for the next title song. And it would be cool to see him reprise some of the motifs and elements he introduced in CR and QoS

As long as they have some James Bond Theme incorporated in the movie I’m good!

While I am not holding my breath for LLLR’s 2019 Black Friday sale, I do hope that EON, MGM, and David Arnold gave the okay to use his intended mastertapes for "Tomorrow Never Dies", in order to expand it for a complete score.

However, I think the film version of the Sheryl Crow song will be tricky since all her mastertapes got lost in a fire:

"Intended"?

If memory serves me, there were some electronic parts that were part of what David Arnold intended, but it was mixed and removed to make them sound "orchestral" in the final film. The best example is "Gustav Graves’ Grand Entrance" from "Die Another Day". It has electronic overdubs that were removed in the final edit of the film to give it that nice orchestral boost.

Not sure if the electronic overdubs were his intention before the final film. Here’s hoping someone can confirm this better than me.

I found out about that fire days ago when I was doing some research on Sonic Youth. Their master tapes (among hundreds of other artists) are now gone. Shame.

Would be cool if we got TND, it would be like reverse order. Black Friday 2017 was DAD and Black Friday 2018 was TWINE. TND would be cool to have. Or GoldenEye.

Hi! Fantastic work bringing the complete Bond scores back to life! I have been a life long fan of John Barry and of 007 so I am eternally grateful! One small thing though, I have tried using various archive tools to unpack The Spy Who Loved Me but they all keep getting the hump and telling me they cannot open the Archive. Has there been any issues with this before? Many thanks

I’ve completely forgotten about that.

Chances are we’ll probably get some "Okay, Boomer™" scores AKA scores from really old films that nobody cares about but it might interest others.

I remember people hating on the "Planet of the Apes" box set on Twitter, haha…

At least there’s Intrada or Quartet Records, but rights still need to be cleared by EON and MGM.

The ones I’d like to see get proper releases are Dr No, FRWL, Goldfinger and Thunderball, but I doubt that will ever happen if someone doesn’t make an unexpected discovery somewhere…

Dr. No, FRWL, and Goldfinger, from what I’ve read from Lukas Kendall in 2003, are probably lost. That does not mean that one could go the distance and make a re-recording with Nic Raine or find the limited range rear recording angles from the original six-track composite soundtrack from the films themselves. Unless some unexpected discovery happens somewhere, which I am doubting because when Quartet Records wanted to release Nino Rota’s "Romeo & Juliet", the master tapes are famously lost and Quartet Records had to resort to using the Capitol records LP masters (John Barry’s "The Legend of The Lone Ranger" suffered this fate as well by Intrada).

"Thunderball" might be a possibility. There’s still some missing score left (the scene with Fiona driving Bond being one example). Hopefully, Quartet or LLR will seek to it, once they get the rights from EON/MGM to do so. Quartet Records seems like the safest and best choice for the older Bonds, despite their headquarters being in Spain. Like Intrada and LLLR, they do a great job expanding scores that really do need them.

I only care for the original soundtracks as they’re the real deal. Yeah, if someone discovers the limited range rear recording angles, that would be something. If we’re lucky that is.

I agree on Thunderball being the most realistic title to get a more proper release by Quartet or LLR. We’ll se what the future has in store.

Based on currently available evidence, at the very least the following releases seem possible (taking as given that all currently-available material can be cleared by all of the respective rights holders):

– An expanded From Russia With Love. Clean music for this film exists in some form (for example, the death Of Krilencu when Kerim Bey shoots him). A clean version of this cue was used as part of the 5.1 mix when the Ultimate Edition DVDs were first released.

Back in 2003, the now-defunct Los Angeles-based company Mi Casa Multimedia Inc. were working on remixing/upmixing the James Bond films into 5.1 for the Ultimate Edition DVDs, using the Bryston SP 1.7 multi-channel preamplifirer/processors as part of their remastering project. As the James Bond fan site MI6 mentioned in an article from the summer of 2003 (emphasis is mine):

"Original masters from the [first eight] films only had mono dialogue, music and sound effects – so how can 5.1 surround sound tracks be created? The answer came in the shape of original scoring session at Abbey Road Studios, London. A cornucopia of tracks and formats have been reshaped to form polished surround sound sound by using clips and segments from unused recordings to patch up the original masters.

"Faults such as crackle, hiss or other areas of low quality in the original tracks have been surgically replaced with pieces selected from up to eight hours of original session recordings. Messing with a classic Bond film will have most fans gritting their teeth, but this clever use of unused takes keep the soundtracks authentic, without the need to synthesize replacements."

It is not known what those eight hours of original recording sessions include, but presumably they include multiple films, including Goldfinger (which also features clean unreleased music on the Ultimate Edition 5.1 mixes).

– An expanded Thunderball. Lukas Kendall looked into producing a 2CD set back in 2002/2003 but EMI could not afford it. The master tapes at Abbey Road were incomplete back then, but in the US a 1/4" two-track stereo tape of music (with four more cues duplicated on a 1/2" three-track tape) existed. The 1/4" tape was in a poorer condition, and as a result some cues from this tape were not included in the expanded release from 2003. These included some of the music leading up to the final underwater battle. Two cues were missing altogether from both the Abbey Road and US master tapes; these being the cue in Reel 7 where Fiona and Bond drive fast in the car and the cue in Reel 9 as Bond fights a bad guy in the shark tank. The former cue is clean (albeit with reduced fidelity) on the 70mm six-track mix used for the original Special Edition DVD, so this could perhaps be remastered/cleaned up and presented as a bonus track on a new hypothetical CD set, presented outside of the main program. The mono LP version of Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was mastered for the 2003 CD from vinyl , as EMI could not locate a mono album master (a saxophone replaces the Shirley Bassey vocal). Today, there remains between 20- and 30 minutes of commercially unreleased music from Thunderball.

– An expanded OHMSS. The EMI expansion edits a few cues for repetition (e.g. 1M5, 10M4), and omits some film versions of other cues (e.g. 2M1, 2M2, 4M3, 11M1, and some of the skating music) in order to present a single-disc version of the score. Further unreleased cues are available that were not included for space reasons, including a source cue for guitar (as well as an alternate with strings) at Draco???s birthday party, and the film version of "We Have All The Time In The World" for Tracy and Bond after their escape from the Swiss town.

– An expanded Diamonds Are Forever. At least one cue was edited for repetition on the 2003 CD release, so the original cue is available for a producer wishing to include the full cue as recorded. In addition, at least one cue was omitted, which I believe is 9M1.

– An expanded Live And Let Die. The 1993 US LaserDisc release featured an isolated music score (from stems), which featured the score as heard in the film. Although it contained volume fluctuations and edits, these could perhaps be combined with the original recording sessions to make a more complete score with isolated cues (i.e. without cross-fading/suites as heard on the 2003 CD expansion), assuming that the recording sessions masters are not complete.

– An expanded The Man With The Golden Gun. Sixteen-track tapes existed at Abbey Road (at least in 2002/2003) but EMI informed Kendall that the remastering process was becoming too expensive, so a planned expansion of the score was dropped.

– An expanded The Spy Who Loved Me. Kendall reported back in the day that there were 24-track tapes of The Spy Who Loved Me at Abbey Road in London, but he wasn’t able to discern if these were mixes of the original cues or the LP re-recording. He further stated that dubbing of 24-track mixes were very time-consuming and expensive.

– An expanded For Your Eyes Only. Presuming that masters do not exist for the currently-unreleased cues (given the Rykodisc presentation), they appear to exist at least in stem form, as numerous unreleased cues were used in a clean form in the creation of the Ultimate Edition 5.1 DVD mixes.

Thanks. Very interesting read. At least some expansions seem possible in theory then, provided enough recording sessions exist and could be combined with isolated music tracks and so on. But I find it strange that they couldn’t use the same source for the Bassey vocal version of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang when expanding Thunderball, as the one they used for the track appearing on the ‘The Best of James Bond – Limited Edition 2-CD’ released in 1992. Do you have more info on that Kaf?

There was a rights issue with Mr. Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang by Ms Bassey, and they couldn’t include it in the expanded edition of Thunderball. The EMI releases were a budget line, and they didn’t have much money to spend. That’s why we got an expanded Live and Let Die instead of The Man with The Golden Gun. Both were available, but they could only afford to do one of the two.
Marvin Hamlisch insisted that the released soundtrack of The Spy Who Loved Me not include the original tracks, so they used re-recordings.
Isolated tracks are of limited value on several titles, as many are combined MaE (music and effects) tracks and are pretty useless for pulling music from. The Criterion laserdiscs has MaE tracks for Dr. No, FRWL and Goldfinger. I haven’t seen any evidence that the original music tracks for these film exist or were used on the 5.1 DVD remixes.
I with all tracks to TB, YOLT, OHMSS, DAF and LALD had been harvested and digitized back in 2003 as the original 3-track LCR tapes and 8-tracks (for DAF) may have decayed since then. They sounded pretty great on the expanded EMI releases.
LaLaLand isn’t releasing a Bond title this year as EON is wrapped up in producing the new film. Apparently the next title will be a 2-CD of Tomorrow Never Dies which we’ll likely see in 2020.

Hi, all 007 fans ! As (I presume) most of us, I rearrange the playlist of each soundtrack say in chronogical order. Personally, I try to reproduce the same edits as in movies ("Girl Trouble" and "Ski Chase" are heavily edited in the movies and the "This Never Happened To The Other Fella" is starting with the Bond Theme, for instance). I’m also adding some source music as the funeral chant at the beginning of TB or the guitar played at the Draco’s birthday). Then, as bonus tracks, I add the "album" version if different from the movie version. Of course, in some case, I can’t avoid some SFX. Sometimes I cheat (in DN, some tracks are reused as Bond & Mr. Jones followed by Leiter & Quarrel is reused when Bond Meets Leiter at Pussfeller’s, so I can avoid the car sound with a bit of editing). I’ve noticed things I cannot understand with the "official" OST, specially with the ones from John Barry. Some parts of the "official" tracks are missings. I’m talking about the second part of "SPECTRE Island" (VZOK posted it on YouTube as "Kronsteen Plan" if I’m not wrong), but also the very first part of "Over & Out"", "Scaramanga Island", "Centrifuge" and "Bond Lookalike" just to name a few. Another thing I don’t understand is the names of some DAF tracks who seem to be titled in a rush. IMHO "007 And Counting" would be a better name for the oil rig’s attack and "To Hell With Blofeld" would fit perfectly for the last part of DAF’s pre-title (I’m talking about these tracks names, not the musics).

Tadlow have done some excellent re-recordings, which would be a good alternative for any lost soundtracks in my book.

@Phil The Shark – I imagine on a track like Spectre Island they felt the Kronsteen part was repetitive after the first section so they omitted it.

Re-recordings are definitely an option if the original recordings are lost! But they should be delegated to the likes of William Stromberg.

Or, by trying something different, to Michael Giacchino, who has "channelled" the most Barry in his music in recent years.

What I most certainly don’t want to listen to is another lackluster effort with a sinfonic orchester under sedation (e.a. such as The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes).

Reconstructing scores (to a certain degree) with modern software is also an option. I fondly remember a very complete Moonraker created by one of the forum members. And, while not perfect, MOST of it was acceptable – even excellent. Which makes you wonder what a professional studio with a real budget could achieve.

On this day in Bond history, "Moonraker" opened in the UK 40 years ago. Happy 40th anniversary, "Moonraker"!

Oh my goodness, yes! I almost forgot that! ๐Ÿ™‚

(And, well, it’s been six months since you posted it, but I don’t come here very often these days due to… personal drama in my life.)

I remember sitting in the cinema in 1979 and listening to Shirley Bassey’s Moonraker in the end credits. What an amazing experience that film had been! Though storywise it’s almost a complete "remake" of The Spy Who Loved Me – combined with a good dosage of Star Wars-hype, Moonraker remains one of my guiltiest pleasures to this very day! ๐Ÿ™‚

Especially the cinematography is very nice. In some parts it almost feels like a completely different film is going on. Especially the beginning at the French Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte.

SFX and model work by Derek Meddings also remain a highlight – with a MUCH lesser budget than Star Wars. Many (idiots) believe the film "ripped off" the Space Shuttle launch. Well, the real – first – booster launch only happened in 1983!

Actorwise Michael Lonsdale steels the show. His calm and collected villain Drax feels as smart and threatening as Donald Pleasance’s Blofeld. This is clearly a fanatic and not a lunatic. The only choice I regret is having Lois Chiles and not Corinne Cl???ry as the leading lady. While I love Lois, the little French lady would have been SOO much more fascinating as a sneaky and cunning secret agent! Also worth mentioning is Emily Bolton as Bond’s Brazilian contact Manuela. Giving her some more work to do (except for getting choked by Jaws) would have been great! (Then again, you had Monica Bellucci in the very stupid Spectre and the moronic producers weren’t able to make HER Bond’s leading lady…)

And if you’re into filmmusic (such as us) Barry’s excellent score clearly deserves more attention AND a better release! Alas, it seems as if the tapes of the original recording were lost during mixing. So we may never get the full package.

But no worries. Time will tell.

Moonraker may be very cheesy in some regards, but it’s also not too serious. Just come over, enjoy a 40+ year old film and have a good time! Cheers! ๐Ÿ˜‰
