Yes, it's pretty bad, I know. But while watching the movie yesterday it occurred to me that probably the best cue isn't on the album: the horse chase towards the end. Is there a reason why that's been omitted from the Silva disc? I can't believe it's an artistic decision, given some of the dross that's on there, and it's not a time problem either (the disc runs about 62 minutes and eight of those aren't in the final film anyway).

I actually don't think it's a bad score really - ok, it's not a Bond score but I've heard worse film scores (a lot of the stuff that's done these days for example) 
The most disappointing thing for me was the loss (on the album) of the Herb Alpert solo at the end of the song on the closing titles.
Incidentally, Richard Morrison's book on the London Symphony Orchestra says that the LSO actually performed the score, which I certainly didn't know, although I don't recall if they were credited in the film.

I wish some folks would start observing Never Say Never Again as an official Bond film, because it is.
When Albert R. Broccoli's name is on it I'll accept it. Until then it will remain outside of canon, regardless of it's literary origins.

Is there a chance for a restored release with all missing tracks, including the Alpert take? The sound should be improved by all means. I think the LP sound far better than the CD.
I consider NSNA as a very good score. It's completely different from the other Bond scores. If you ask Legrand you never get the usual stuff. - Just listen to Une Chanson D'Amour, great song for a scene that's fun to watch.
Has anyone here the Japanese CD release (same label did the LP) of the original LP cut? I've never seen a picture of the cover so far, made several contacts in Japan to inquire about it, they confirmed it existed but never cared to own this CD. It seems almost impossible to find a copy now.

It's probably my least favourite score, with the possible exception of DR NO. Obtaining it through links provided on this forum, I watched the film again at the weekend with most of the Legrand score replaced by various cues from the official Bond films - it's an interesting watch, very well done in parts, although it detracts a bit when an actual theme (such as MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN) makes itself heard.

Neil, I wholeheartedly agree with you on this one.

It was Sean Connery who had final say over the composer, and while he wanted a score similar to ICE STATION ZEBRA, many of the cues from NSNA sound an awful like THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR.
