Didn’t I say something along the Line though i speculated about a 5-release lock big grin


They could always settle for using the vanilla "Anniversary Edition" label in a pinch.

I just moved Moonraker from under the tree and can't believe I'm holding something I've longed for since 1998.




at least you have your Moonraker

here is mine:

Sad about Legend of Zorro, but I’m happy about the probability of more Bond.

I’d love for AFM to change their rules to allow something more recent to be released.

In the meantime there is likely still a lot of fantastic music that has not been released or could be revisited on CD.

Really a bummer that only a couple months makes the difference between Legend of Zorro being possible, or (it turns out) not. frown

Hopefully a new AFM agreement happens some day, this time with a sliding date.

I can't remember but I think there's a cream for it now.

OHMSS (along with "Thunderball") would probably require 3 disks if it were done as perfect as "Octopussy," "The Man With The Golden Gun" and "Moonraker."

Hard to keep track of these things. Sucks about titles post 2005 but the hits keep on coming.
I think 2024 was one of my biggest years purchasing from LLL.


Same. Keep fighting the good fight. I’ll gladly take all the Bond LLL releases.

As annoying as our post 2005 AFM guesses may seem, we eternally hope for movement on that front, and many customers aren’t even aware of the legal obstacle like some of us here.

Well, the good news is that LLLR could spend the rest of their lives releasing wonderful TV series scores, wonderful TV movie scores, wonderful TV mini series scores, and wonderful films scores and never even get to the year 2000, let alone 2005.

I'm pretty sure at least one of the releases will be an expanded Bond 26!!! (Joke disclaimer, as I am now used to this forum!)

Really hoping that one of the three will be a classic television score. Hopefully. Maybe Manimal.

Regardless of what they are...many thanks to all the great soundtrack labels who still endeavour to bring us the stuff we love, on shiny discs in lovely packaging.

For the last time, we aren't doing TG Maverick...and any film or tv show recorded with the AFM that was released after Aug 15 2005 can't be expanded or released due to high reuse fees. LEGEND OF ZORRO was released in Oct 2005. Hopefully, one day, this outdated rule will be lifted.
MV


So it's about when it was released, not recorded? Dammit.

It was recorded prior, back in June 2005, I believe.

Hi MV any chanses for the Armageddon complete score and Batman & Robin complete Score, do the magic MV please realese them, had past a lot of years for those great scores do be released some day, thanks for all the great work.

Happy New Year, everyone!

We hope all of you had a safe and wonderful Holiday season.

The monkeys are back at work and doing their best getting orders out. We ran out of Goldfinger, Man with the Golden Gun and Jurassic Park 3 over the holidays but have more coming in on Monday. We apologize for any holdups you may be having getting your orders delivered, but we did put a disclaimer on the emails and the website about possible delays. Please be patient as we work diligently packing everything up and shipping it all out.

Speaking of Goldfinger, the 90 day window is now up and ALL the fine online stores can carry this item. The way ALL of these BOND cds have been selling I wouldn't wait too long to snatch them up because these will be selling out.

On Jan 15 we will be releasing 3 NEW titles...to be honest, these 3 titles were initially scheduled for BLACK FRIDAY but seeing how insanely busy things were going at the end of the year we opted to delay them until 2025.

For you vinyl buyers, THE GODFATHER LPs are finally being manufactured (for you ASMR enthusiasts, stay tuned for a "making of" video our good friends at Waxworks will be uploading regarding the pressing of the vinyl). We hope to start shipping them late January...early February. We shall keep you posted.

As for the rest of the year you'll just have to wait and see what we have in store for y'all!

I happily smell more Bond on the way.

Bloody Brillant!

Reading between the lines, the soundtrack business is dwindling. The big titles make them money, but star composers don't necessarily guarantee big returns anymore, especially their lesser titles. So they may never release a lot of stuff, especially smaller scores.

Will these businesses be around by 2030 in their current form? The next generation are not soundtrack enthusiasts, well, not enough of them.

As for more Bond -- we would rather release 4 Bond titles that sell and pay the bills than 20 non Bond titles that don't even break even including titles by top composers. Sales are not what they used to be unless you release a highly desired title that appeals beyond this ever shrinking film score cd marketplace

I could say something stupid like you need to learn to code but it’s a frightening statement about the state of the CD marketplace. Recent scores that may have interest outside the niche collectors are unavailable for release. It just promotes the proliferation of Bootlegs and everyone loses. Does the change need to be negotiated with the unions?

Intrada looked into Armageddon, apparently Trevor Rabin doesn't care to have an expansion put out.

Batman & Robin also not happening anytime soon because it's Warner Bros. They stopped allowing label expansions in 2019 (titles controlled by Varese in perpetuity notwithstanding) and haven't played ball since the Discovery merger.
