I do notice the “Tanker Downhill” and “Truck Chase” fade into each other. Was this supposed to be one track? Surprised that Lala would not separate them or just combine it as one cue. I noticed this playing it on shuffle and the Tanker Downhill cue was clipped at the end. Wish it wasn’t. Just a minor quibble.
This is correct. It's two cues edited together to run contiguously at the index point.

Thanks for the response Neil!
Hmmm. Not thrilled to hear about the use of segues. Hopefully they don’t do this with future Bond CDs.

The cues are edited together as heard in the film.
Hopefully they don’t do this with future Bond CDs.
Huh?

Which cues feature previously unreleased music?
MANY of them.
The entire score with all alternates runs 99 minutes (songs not included).
The score on the first 89' soundtrack album runs 28 minutes (songs not included).
It's 70 minutes more score-only music!
Since release of the 2003' EMI Capitol expanded editions, LTK had the largest amount of unreleased music of all the Bond films.

It does sound great and the package looks good. How ever I'm not quite blown away, as some obviously are. Maybe aftera few more listens. Though I don't rate the song, it seems a tad unmemorable to me. And I don't really like some of the 'poppier' style of drumming here and there. Other than that....

I was lukewarm about the score before - but the LLL presentation of the whole work and the pristine sound make all the difference.
Absolutely stellar Bond score, my favourite Kamen now.

Here’s a question for Neil (if he’s allowed to share), or anyone else in the industry who might know (I understand there’s no one-size-fits-all answer):
Since this is a Licence to Kill thread, did you encounter any licensing issues or hurdles when it came to including the source songs, "Wedding Party" and "Dirty Love," or even the Gladys Knight and Patti LaBelle songs?
Do you have to go through clearances or seek permission from the original performers to re-release or remaster those tracks?
Slight detour from LTK: Looking at La-La Land’s production history with Bond, it seems Sheryl Crow, KD Lang, Garbage, and Scott Walker were okay with their songs being re-released (since they were re-released), but Madonna was not. Since Madonna is still huge and Sheryl Crow is pretty well-known too, does it mostly come down to money or how flexible an artist or label is?
Before Casino Royale in 2006, it seemed like the Bond title songs and their companion scores were typically released together. But when Chris Cornell and Adele insisted on having their songs appear on their own cover albums (and not the Bond soundtracks), it highlighted the level of control certain artists have.

From what I recall, at least for those albums you mentioned, I think the licensing was via the record company, such as Sony, who released the original album, as the complete contents of that original album was their license, and not each individual artists.

Got mine yesterday. Great Bond score, great Kamen score; what more could one want? Have listened to it three times now and still finding new things - Many thanks La-La Land.
What I still find hard to believe is when I look at my CD collection I now see nine Bond Scores having gotten the La-La Land treatment including MOONRAKER. (Whoever found those lost tapes deserves an OBE lol) A few years ago this was no more than a 'Pipe Dream'. Again many thanks La-La Land.
Cheers.
