Never saw the movie (yet) but it sounds great, as do the samples, if I dare say. Hopefully there will be some differences from the notable "Ipcress File" similarities.
Wrong! Why don't you read the announcement instead of spreading misinformation?!
World premiere of John Barry soundtrack plus remastered original album on CD....the original 1965 re-recorded Mainstream album as part of our acclaimed CD series of classic 60’s Mainstream and Ava titles. In fact, this album is included here as tracks 26 - 37.
When the album masters arrived, in an incredible find within, we located the long-lost actual film scoring session elements, complete and in excellent condition, revealing a much darker and graphic soundtrack - one that had never been previously released! While its duration is similar to the LP program, the contents are considerably different.

And to top it all off...he can't read or count because there are only three cues under 30 seconds on the whole CD. And who cares anyway? Short cues are fact of life in film scores.
Once again, the humour impaired emerge from the swamp.
Right, epic failure joke. The reason noone "gets it" is because it's the kind of thing you'd say for real. I guess you were trying to mock the blunt critics of improved but only slightly expanded releases, so on a certain level, it's a compliment by understating how completely expanded (as in never released before) it is. But at best it comes across like an April Fools joke. Too bad you weren't there to audition for the George Segal character. KING RAT might have been your best part.
About the L.A. sessions: I remember reading a JB interview when he said the cymbalom player couldn't get the sound he needed (Barry used John Leach in London). So for the film they used a guitar with gizmos to get close to the cymbalom. It will be interesting to compare the L.A. guitar/gizmo sound to the album cymbalom (Leach).
I plead ' guilty' o not liking lotsa short cues. Like many here. Like Morricone. Put the handcuffs on .
You don't like crossfades either. Make up your mind!
It is the reason why I often prefer an OST presentation of a score rather than an expanded release with a lot of short cues which I don't really enjoy listening to.
However, no one wants to go down that rabbit hole again...
With the score being from Barry's cimbalom period, which had style and originality to spare, I'll have to buy it...even though I've never seen the film.
