I would pay $20000 for the complete, restored and remastered James Bond Box-Set contains all complete Bond scores 1962-2002.


Wow! That's about $19,960 more than I collectively paid for the ones I care about, which are the first eight.

MV, are you still planning to give us at least one golden or silver age score before the end of the year?

Nope. None coming out this year. Oldest release we have is like late 60s and I doubt you Golden Age fans will buy it.

Agreed, but at least we can hopefully look forward to their expanded Diary of Anne Frank next year.

I don't frequent this board enough to bother tracking down where MV recently reiterated the possibility of a Waxman release later this year, but plans obviously do change. 'Tis the way of things, but a disappointment. Maybe next year, maybe...

Well.. Awful package design, horrible CD tracks presentation & still incomplete releases.. 2003' Remastered Bonds was just a low-budget incomplete CD series...

What was so bad about the design? They used the LP cover art. I think that for Thunderball the cover should have been cropped to replicate the mono sleeve, but other than that? And weren't these expanded as much as possible? I believe that the extra tracks from the first three films are lost. I do wish the albums had been re-sequenced, through.

The problem with the Bond box set idea is that I don't think there are enough Bond fans who would want the entire 50+ year run of scores. Bond fans tend to favor certain eras. I, personally, check out after "Live and Let Die." The fact that 95% of the music has been available for short dough does not help either.

I was so hoping for a "Voyage to the bottom of the sea" box set, oh well frown

"Awful" and "horrible" strike me as the usual internet hyperbole, where "not exactly what I would have preferred" translates into atrocious and execrable. But that's opinion, and you're welcome to it.

As for "low-budget," though, having known people involved in those releases at the time, that does not apply.

Wasn't Lucas Kendall involved with those Bond score reissues? I'm sure he dug up whatever material was available at the time and did whatever was feasible for the project.

MV, about a year ago you said you planned a Max Steiner CD. Will you maybe do this next year?

I hope you will issue the Waxman next year too. Thanks.

I'm still hopeful LLL can do a "Best of" Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Having gone through The Time Tunnel, even though it would be feasible to release all the music in a smaller (say, 4-5 CD) set, some of the scores don't stand up particularly well. On something like Voyage, even if sales were better currently than they are, it would be financially burdensome to put out all the music because the show ran for four seasons--no one's going to be putting out 14-15 disc sets of film music. But the example MV mentioned of cherry-picking highlights would be the way to go. I think you could represent Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea very well with three or four CDs. The dirty little secret of a lot of these shows is they have tons of "sneaking around" suspense underscore that is not terribly gripping to listen to. For a sci-fi show, Star Trek was fairly unique in that it focused on character, highly unusual situations, and had incredible scope, all of which required quite memorable music. On Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea you'd often spend an entire episode of David Hedison sneaking around the corridors of the Seaview alone because they were trying to save money. smile But there are a lot of score highlights from the show that would be great to preserve.

It be nice to get Goldsmith's Voyage score in complete form along with the "best of the rest"...

Ok for VTTBOTS music, I'd like to see "Cyborg","Leviathan"and"Monster from the inferno" released on a set.

Did Leith Stevens compose one of these?

Me be thinking "Monster from the inferno"was Leith Stevens, other two was Alexander Courage I think.

Thanks. If I recall correctly, Stevens wrote a great "Flying Sub" theme for one of the early season two episodes. In any case, I'm definitely up for any VTTBOTS scores LaLaLand decides to (fingers triple crossed) release.

Did I understand the LIS box sales were not all that good, sad. I really enjoyed mine. Hopefully MV will give us some good news about a VTTBOTS set. I think some of the best music was from the second season.

The "Flying Sub theme" was adapted from Goldsmith's main title--the dynamic "flying" version was written by Nelson Riddle for "Escape from Venice" but Leith Stevens wrote the jazzy "pre-launch" music for "Time Bomb," which is the first time the Flying Sub is shown launching on the show. The second season scores are full of variations of Goldsmith's Seaview motif written by everyone from Stevens and Riddle to Alexander Courage--the composers were clearly told this was the new theme for the show and encouraged to incorporate it into their scores, even though the title theme only appears in "Jonah and the Whale." I just watched "Time Bomb" though and while it uses the Paul Sawtell main title, the end title music was Goldsmith's.

That Leith Stevens "pre launch" cue is a great composition. My favorite music from the series are the early outstanding scores by Friedhofer, if I remember correctly with some additional music by Courage because Friedhofer had problems with the deadlines.
