Wasn't Thunderball one of the top grossing films of 1966? Someone mentioned The Sand Pebbles showing up in cut-out bins; in the late 70s when the album was long oop I stumbled across a stash of sealed mono copies.

LPs being in cut-out bins doesn't mean they didn't sell well, it just means they over-produced it. That's something that can happen to a really successful record—it sells well, so to keep up with demand, they step up production, but they don't anticipate the sales drop-off curve very well and end up with excess stock. Thunderball sold HUGE on record, but they almost certainly over-produced it. Cheers

Thunderball sold HUGE on record, but they almost certainly over-produced it. Adjusted for inflation, Thunderball's box office receipts were second only to Skyfall. And Thunderball was where Bond Mania peaked as a broad-based cultural phenomenon. And as Zooba stated above, before home video, the soundtrack album was your only way to relive the film at will. So yeah, the LP must have sold tons of copies. It couldn't fail to do so.

All the the others were still in print, but Thunderball seemed to be out of print (though it was eventually reissued by Liberty Records in the mid-80s with slightly altered cover art).

By the 80s, the original United Artists releases would probably have been out of print and it would be the reissues on the Sunset or other labels (like Liberty) that would have been most common then. The Bond scores got a lot of reissues through the 70s and 80s, but for some reason Thunderball wasn't reissued as much as From Russia With Love or Goldfinger. Neither was OHMSS. Nevertheless, the original release in 1965 did very well. Cheers
