Yeap, the fight opens up without music, then Barry brings in his signature '60s hand-to-hand combat sound partway through the elevator struggle.

The 'Underwater Mayhem' cue has really special things happening in the major/minor clashes of the brass stings.
I don't know why but 'This Never Happened to the Other Fella' seemed more Barry-poignant and emotionally bittersweet on the old vinyl than on CD. I can't account for this: it's as though something serendipitously gets added to the blend in the analogue technique that isn't really there, or removed by digitisation. A lessening effect of chords maybe, as though some lines are obscured. You can't say what it is quite. 'Anybody else feel this about some pieces in any score?

Wow, it is literally impossible for me to choose just one cue. So those that come to mind...
FRWL - 007
Goldfinger - Dawn Raid On Fort Knox
Thunderball - Chateau Fight
YOLT - Fight at Kobe Dock
OHMSS - Journey to Draco's Hideaway
DAF - Gunbarrel and Manhunt (Moon buggy Hunt would win if it were shorter and less meandering)
LALD - Boat Chase
TSWLM - Bond 77 (the only cue I have any stomach for)
Moonraker - Space Lazer Battle
FYEO - Gunbarrel / Flowers for Theresa
Octapussy - Yo-Yo Fight / Death Of Vijay
AVTAC - Golden Gate Fight
TLD - Inflight Fight
LtC - The precredits sequence. It's all edited from a variety of different cues, but they're all on the album and it was possible to recreate it. It's actually a good "greatest hits highlights" of the score.
TND - All in a Day's Work
TWINE - Show Me the Money / Come in 007, Your Time is Up
DAD - Hovercraft Chase
CR - Bombers Away / African Rundown
QoS - Target Terminated
Skyfall - The Bloody Shot
Sooooo much great music!

George Martin took the idea of what Barry was doing and did his own thing for LALD, but still very much of a piece for Bond.
'Solitaire Gets Her Cards'- The montage where she follows Bond using her Tarot cards.
Thanks to Adm Naismith (though I prefer to think of him as Miles V.) for calling out Live and Let Die. I had to go back and listen, and was reminded of my favorite cue from this, my very first Bond score:
Snakes Alive

I love how he incorporates Barry's Bond Theme fanfares in a way that makes them work quite differently to punctuate and end the music - listen at 2:01 and 2:31.
