OK, here's the actual news...I was "inside" on this one and had to hold my tongue until the press release from EMI and MGM could be prepared -- which is imminent. 16 classic Bond soundtracks are being reissued by EMI-Capitol & Virgin (for GoldenEye) in February. Due Feb. 11, 2003: DR. NO - same as LP FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE - same as LP ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE - expanded edition, remixed to 75+ min. (almost complete score - it wouldn't fit) DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER - expanded edition, remixed to 75+ min., complete score plus alternates. LIVE AND LET DIE - expanded edition, complete score. FOR YOUR EYES ONLY - same as Rykodisc CD OCTOPUSSY - same as Rykodisc CD THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS - same as Rykodisc CD Due Feb. 25, 2003: GOLDFINGER - not remixed but will have 4 extra tracks from the U.K. LP at end of program. THUNDERBALL - remixed, expanded to 75+ min. (almost complete score - it wouldn't fit) YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE - remixed, expanded to 73 min. (complete score) THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN - same as LP THE SPY WHO LOVED ME - same as LP MOONRAKER - same as LP A VIEW TO A KILL - same as LP GOLDENEYE - same as CD The five expanded titles -- Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, O.H.M.S.S., Diamonds and Live and Let Die -- represent EMI, MGM and independent contractors such as yours truly working very hard in not a lot of time to get Bond fans the best of the vintage 007 scores. The sound quality on these titles is STUNNING. The CDs will feature the original LP programs followed by bonus sections of previously unreleased tracks. No extra masters were available for Dr. No, From Russia With Love, or Moonraker (recorded in Paris). Feel free to complain but there was nothing anyone could do! One other thing -- keep your 30th Anniversary 2CD set as the rare vocal demos from Thunderball (Mr. Kiss Kiss), You Only Live Twice and Goldfinger are not being carried over for clearance reasons. Which is just as well as it leaves room on Thunderball for more unreleased score... That's it! Holy cow, is this fantastic or what! Mark your calendars! Lukas

Now, that is exciting news! The Bond films were my first experience with the sin of soundtrack omission--favorite, prominent cues left off the OST. Now, I can breathe easier knowing I live in a world where Lukas Kendall, Robert Townsen and others are righting that terrible wrong. No, really! This is terrific!

Moonraker, pardon my French, sounds like shit. It's slightly disappointing that no better sounding tapes could be found for that one. I can't wait to get my hands on the others.

Thank you very much for this announcement. I can't wait to compare my home made expanded Thunderball to this new release. Will the albums that are the same as the previous EMI albums have liner notes or anything that warrants a re-purchase? Neil

Lukas, Lukas, Lukas...I could *&^%$#£ kiss ya man! THIS is the BEST film score news I've heard in years! Shame we don't get more from Moonraker and original tracks from Spy Who Loved Me (which is a 'guilty' pleasure) ....but the cream of the crop is there, well done to all involved! Lukas, how d'heck you manage to keep such big news to yourself? NP : nothing, I'm gobsmacked!! My secret agent training has served me well...or at least my FSM training. I want to point out -- I love bringing people this kind of news, and moreover participating in this kind of dream project, but there are LOTS of people at EMI and MGM and elsewhere who have worked very hard for these albums. You'll see their names on the credits. I don't want to seem like some credit hog jerk just because I'm relaying the info to the ever interested public. not a jerk, LK

Will the albums that are the same as the previous EMI albums have liner notes or anything that warrants a re-purchase? Neil Hi Neil, Yes, the albums are all being repackaged with new liner notes by Jeff Bond -- a very familiar byline for FSM readers -- and artwork from MGM's archives. lk

Does this mean that the unextended Scores can also never be found as iso scores on possibly future dvd releases or is this a different story? For the fact of no extended version for moonraker i will now be in a state of depression until further notice!
