Does anyone know if the Dr. No music and effects track is the original mono mix. There seems to be music missing from the current mono mix on the blu ray that is on the criterion laserdisc?

Are you saying there is music in the Music & Effects track on the Criterion laserdisc not heard in the English composite mix? Or that there is a difference between the Blu-ray English mono and the laserdisc English mono?


Their is extra music that is dialed out from the current mono mix that is on the criterion laserdisc


In one particular scene, or more than one? What scene or scenes are we talking about? Specific details would be helpful.

I seem to remember that Thunderball has also has some very different sound mixes and some score changes throughout the years.

Watched View to a Kill recently.

Fair amount of music missing from the album. Some great cues including the equestrian music, variations of the love theme and lots of action and suspense cues. I think it's the second best Barry Bond score of the 80s. Daylights is my favourite of his 80s Bond.

In terms of missing music A View to a Kill has a lot of great tracks missing. As the sound is also poor on the released albums it is one among those I want expanded and remastered the most (and Licence To Kill).

Dan totally agree A View To A Kill does need an expanded score from LLL Records as there are so many great cues missing.

Notes:
As per many of the OSTs, quite a few of the musical ’scene setters’ are missing, such as Bond’s arrival in Paris and the beautiful cue when Bond arrives at the Chateau with Tibbett. There’s a cue which is very reminiscent of the strings in the main theme of OHMSS as the helicopter explodes in the pre-title sequence, but it is barely audible because of the SFX. Other notable missing cues include the saxophone-driven and french horn/strings version of AVTAK when Bond seduces May Day and Stacey in the shower respectively, the fight at Stacey’s house (which is a variation on the ‘Snow Job’ main action theme but with the inclusion of the James Bond theme) and variations on the ‘Project Main Strike’ theme.

I'm guessing a lot of those short cues would have to be combined. Even though they are short, the music is of high quality.

the ficht at staceys house does not include the james bond theme i would say - it includes a nod to thunderball's chateau FIGHT (which is the real title)

and that thunderball cue may have contained som bond themes element - but here it is clealy a nod to the thunderball cue

Some cues are too short, they would have to be combined to make a better listening experience.

I agree cues would have to be combined to make a better listening experience & I sure LLL Records would do a fantastic job as always

I really hope we see more expanded scores this year from LLL records because if they release via anniversary dates they might follow the below schedule, if not it would be great if they just released all of the Bond scores like they did in 2003 but obviously fully expanded & in chronological score order with all the missing music cues & Original album with extras like Live & Let Die & Octopussy this year.
 
Top of my list are all of the John Barry Bond scores but most wanted expansions are Moonraker , Thunderball & OHMSS
 
2024:
1. Goldfinger (60th)
2. On Her Majesty's Secret Service (55th)
3. The Man With The Golden Gun (50th)
4. Moonraker (45th)
5. License To Kill (35th)
2025:
1. Thunderball (60th)
2. A View To A Kill (40th)
3. GoldenEye (30th)
4. Spectre (10th)
2026:
1. Diamonds Are Forever (55th)
2. For Your Eyes Only (45th)
3. Casino Royale (20th)
4. No Time To Die (5th)
2027:
1. Dr. No (65th)
2. You Only Live Twice (60th)
3. The Spy Who Loved Me (50th)
4. The Living Daylights (40th)
5. Skyfall (15th)
2028:

I wonder if our fortunate luck of having two released at the same time was a result of delays with No Time To Die and then the sale of MGM to Amazon. These titles are likely planned years in advance.

I remember Neil, after the release of Tomorrow Never Dies last year, posting in February that there were "no current plans" to work on another expanded Bond soundtrack. Evidently that changed and they managed to assemble the two releases quite quickly.

I do feel sorry for him and MV though. With every release, the floodgates are opened and people bombard them with questions about the next expanded soundtrack. I hope that they're not put off by the over-zealous enthusiasm frown

I hope such enthusiasm is par of the course with owning a business. When you have a finite amount of a product that will sell out, someone who won't buy it for x reasons will be replaced by someone who will. Very happy they are still putting effort and time into music releases from this franchise.

Yes, no plans right now for more expanded releases, but I expect MGM to email Neil in the not too distant future:

"Fancy doing Goldfinger and Man With The Golden Gun?"


This thread is good for the Bond fans who want to talk about future releases. big grin
