Golden Gun is a very good score, considering the time constraints put on John to do it. Underrated.
What’s the story behind that.
Barry had just finished scoring The Day of the Locust in Los Angeles, flew back to England, and started immediately on TMWTGG.
One thing that has emerged over the years is that Barry sometimes wrote multiple songs for a Bond film before selecting one: YOLT, definitely; and I strongly suspect that on OHMSS The More Things Change was considered for the main song--even the title suggests it: the more things change (Lazenby) the more they stay the same (Bond).
Anyway, I think the Lulu song was JB's first stab and he just didn't have time to write another. Just speculation, but the time restraints and the fact that JB always hated the song fits in that scanario.

Combining this release with Moonraker is genius "release strategy", if there is any.
I find myself anticipating both releases equally, to my surprise.

Now that two more classic Bond scores have been released (and the Goldfinger reissue), what is left? And, is there an existing thread on this topic?

Not seen an existing thread, but here is some info:
The following scores are left for expansion or re-issue to potentially release by La-La Land:
Sean Connery / George Lazenby:
Dr. No
From Russia with Love
Thunderball
You Only Live Twice
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
Diamonds Are Forever
Roger Moore:
The Spy Who Loved Me
For Your Eyes Only
A View To A Kill
Timothy Dalton:
The Living Daylights
License To Kill
Pierce Brosnan:
GoldenEye
Daniel Craig:
Casino Royale
Quantum Of Solace
Skyfall
SPECTRE
No Time To Die
I don’t think we’ll get Daniel Craig expansions since they are too recent, and union fees etc. may be too high. But I can wish.
Consensus guesswork seems that for these releases we’re most likely to get scores that have anniversaries on the year they are targeted for release, though it is possible some non-anniversary releases will also come.
What we have so far is basically a miracle of circumstance, timing and talent, and the fact that it is even possible is fantastic.
Kudos to all involved.

Very true, but for now it seems unlikely that there will be another crack at Goldfinger since it was tackled so recently by LLLR.
I have a feeling that Dr. No and From Russia may be in the same boat as Goldfinger, but until they have been tackled I'm not going to assume.
