I hope that if La La Land manages to release TSWLM, Moonraker, AVTAK and LTK one day they include all of the
classical and source music even if it was was licensed from other sources or recorded on set. TSWLM should include all of the Egyptian ethnic source music. Moonraker should include all of the Carnival in Rio source music and the music when Bond is fighting Chang in Venice. AVTAK should include all the Vivaldi music from Zorin's party in France. If they can release Octopussy one day I hope they include all of the circus music and if they can do FYEO I hope they include all of the Greek source music even if it was licensed from elsewhere. The music is memorable and integral to these scenes and deserves to be on the CD. I would be willing to pay more money to make sure that all of this music is on there.


All the Egyptian source music in TSWLM appears to have been written for the film. The Greek source music in FYEO appears to be licensed, but Conti wrote the ice rink and casino source music.

The OCTOPUSSY circus music and the MOONRAKER carnival music appears to be licensed.

I thought Conti composed his own "ethnic atmosphere" source music for the Greek street. And in any case, I'm sure it was newly recorded for the film. There's no was it was a needle drop.

The Greek source music listed on the cue sheet is "Zorba Takes a Holiday" and "Aliti M'Ipes Mia Vradia." If Conti wrote "ethnic atmosphere" music, it got mistakenly listed as "underscore" rather than source music. (No individual cue titles for Conti's score on the cue sheet; everything is "Underscore" or specific source music.)

Good info, thanks Jason. I checked those two songs out on Youtube, and they are NOT the Bill Conti "Greek street atmosphere" music I was thinking of. When Bond and Melina are threading their way through a crowd while eating a street-bought snack, for instance, the film is playing ethnic-sounding source music by Bill Conti. And it works brilliantly to create a sense of place.

If "Zorba Takes a Holiday" and "Aliti M'Ipes" can be heard in the film at all, they are probably very brief or pretty much buried in the sound mix. I've never noticed them.

There are a handful of source cues in Conti’s written scores and sketches that aren’t on the cue sheets, though I suspect they weren’t recorded. None of them are “ethic atmospheric” nor Greek. The casino source cues noted on the cue sheets were not present in the scores.

Well, those are in addition to the ethnic music I was referring to. And my only point was that Conti wrote the cues.

Zorba Takes A Holiday is in the film at around an hour when Bond and Melina are "shopping for the crew", choosing melons.

Agreed, Zorba Takes a Holiday is the first "Greek street atmosphere" piece of music.

The koto music from A View to a Kill was ad-libbed by John Leach for the film. It's not licensed or a re-recording. It would make sense to include in the album.

Based on recent TND release, I think we can get classical pieces only if they were especially recorded for film (AVTAK, TLD)...
If they were just licenced, we probably will not get them. But will I be sad about absence of Vivaldi music? Probably not.

What classical music was recorded for AVTAK? If you mean the Vivaldi music, that's licensed.

There are also two Tchaikovsky excerpts heard in the film; they were also licensed.

I know it's old hat by now - but because I just watched the blu-ray of 'Octopussy' last night, I'll chime in. I do wish the great film music archaeologists dig up the complete score some day. There are some wondrous cues. Especially that 'Arrival in India' piece. Wouldn't it be great to have James Fitzpatrick do a complete re-recording of this and 'Moonraker'?! Never Say Never Again.

the music is there - and the RYKO release could have been expanded - rumor has it that the album producers did not know that they had the rights to release an expanded version of the score

If La La Land can do AVTAK one day I hope they include the film version of the vocal of "California Girls" by Gidea Park and The Beach Boys. It's an essential part of this soundtrack as well.

The music when Bond is fighting Chang in Venice is Leoncavallo's "Vesti la giubba" and most of the Carnival in Rio source music is "Dawn of the Gods" by Renato Verdade. If La La Land can someday do Moonraker, I hope they pay the licensing costs to include both pieces of music on their release.

If La La Land can do LTK, I hope they include Michael Kamen's, Eric Clapton's and Vic Flick's new version of the Bond Theme that was recorded for a TV commercial that would also cross-promote the movie. I also hope they include Kamen's recording of Beethoven's "Für Elise" for this title as well.

Does La La Land have the technical know-how to produce fold-out liner notes for their Bond titles that include the film's poster similar to what Rykodisc did with Octopussy and the Living Daylights? Can they afford to do this? I would prefer it if they released them in this format.

I hope not. Those things are harder to handle, read, refold, and keep in mint condition. At least, they are to me. And in anybody's book, they are brutal to scan so you can read the notes at will without digging out the CD. I hate those fold-out inserts.

Well, the moment you ripped off the shrink wrap, "mint" was no longer the condition. Then you played the CD and read the thing at least once. As long as you didn't rip it, enjoy the notes.
