Hi Stephen
I did not know about this originally planned album. Im very interested in this. can you point me in the direction of said article or yet, reveal the tracklist?
It was in the May 2003 edition of Film Score Monthly. Based on the article, it looks like this:
Side 1:
Diamonds Are Forever (song)
Elevator Fight / Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd
The Whyte House
Moon Buggy Chase (1st version without car chase) / Bond on the roof of the Whyte House
Tiffany Case
Death and the Whyte House
Circus, Circus
Side 2:
Diamonds Are Forever (instrumental) (end of film)
Bond Smells A Rat
Q'sTrick
Bond Meets Bambi and Thumper (revised version)
Airport Source
007 and Counting
To Hell With Blofeld.
Cheers

So the only difference is they added three cues it looks like.

I know this is a custom art thread, but just to draw a little line under the alternate album sequence for Diamonds Are Forever, which only showed up here because I put a request out for custom art...
Although the unused album assembly (which may have been only a rough assembly) is interesting, I've been auditioning that configuration and what's brilliant about it is it includes the 'fight' theme and the fuller Wynt and Kidd theme, something the actual LP failed to do.
But, do you know what? It feels unbalanced. Like Gergely pointed out to me somewhere else on the internet, Side A would have been much longer than Side B. I'm also not sure that going straight from the song to the 'fight' theme is good flow.
So, since the original LP isn't a great representation and that rough assembly doesn't have great flow, I came up with my own 'fantasy' album programme. I really like it, and I think it would have made a great LP.
It's just under 40 minutes long, so ideal LP length.
It has a 'Side A' and 'Side B' feel to it.
Both sides are balanced.
I think it has good album 'flow'.
It still has some of the source music, as I think it should, but represents the score better.
Here it is:
(And this is what I'm going to use the custom cover for, thanks folks.)
Side A, total time: 18:31.
1. Diamonds Are Forever (song) (2:53)
2. Mr. Wynt and Mr. Kidd (2:32)
3. Elevator Fight (1:06)
4. Circus, Circus (2:50)
5. Moon Buggy Ride—Lean Over! (3:19)
6. Plenty and Tiffany (2:06)
7. Diamonds Are Forever (instrumental) (3:45)
Side B, total time: 20:30
1. James Bond is Back—Manhunt! (3:12)
2. 007 and Counting (3:31)
3. Bambi and Thumper—Pentouse Fight (3:09)
4. Q's Trick (2:26)
5. Tiffany Runs For It—Following Metz (2:54)
6. To Hell With Blofeld (1:39)
7. Bond and Tiffany—QEII fight (3:39)
Total LP time: 39:01
Notes to create this programme:
Side A:
1. This is 1M4 as per track 1 of the expanded CD. I'd put the version with the stinger on it, like on the expanded CD.
2. This is 1M5 and 2M1 extracted from track 14 of the expanded CD but not including 2M3. In other words, without 'Bond To Holland.' I love it, but you can't have everything in 40 minutes.
3. This is just the fight, 3M2, extracted from the 'Peter Franks' track on the expanded CD. 3M1 and 3M3 also in that track are left out.
4. This is 5M2, as per original album.
5. This is 6M3A and 7M1 as per track 3 on the original album, but not including 6M2 which was added on the expanded CD.
6. This is 4M5 and 4M6 from track 19 of the expanded CD, but not including 5M1.
7. This is 2M4, as per the original album.
Side B:
1. This is 1M1/1M2/1M3 as per track 13 of the expanded CD. This is basically what the UK LP of Goldfinger did, put the James Bond is Back sequence at the start of Side B.
2. This is 10M1 as per the original album.
3. This is 9M2A and 9M3 as per track 2 of the expanded CD, I'm just making it clearer that it includes the penthouse fight too.
4. This is 9M4 as per the original album.
5. This is half of 5M4 and 6M1 extracted from track 20 of the expanded CD I cut 5M4 just before we get Plenty in the pool for space reasons and left out 5M5 for repetition reasons. So, it's basically the cue where Tiffany runs out of the circus to the point Felix's car pulls up to Bond's to say they lost her, and from where Tiffany's car pull out of the gas station to follow Metz into Whyte's complex. The resulting track has nice flow, actually.
6. This is 12M1 as per the original album rather than the longer version on the expanded album, for space reasons.
7. This is 12M2, 12M3 and 12M4 as per track 19 of the expanded CD.
So, if you fancy having an album-length, album-like programme of Diamonds Are Forever, try this on.
Cheers
