La-La Land Records, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, EON Productions and Universal Music Enterprises proudly commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the 1973 James Bond film LIVE AND LET DIE, with a remastered and expanded 2-CD re-issue of composer George Martin’s original motion picture score to the film, starring Roger Moore in his debut portrayal of 007 and directed by Guy Hamilton.

A new Bond demanded a fresh take on the film’s score and its title song - and famed composer and Beatles producer George Martin and former Beatle himself Paul McCartney more than succeed in this challenging mission, resulting in a film score and title track that, fifty years later, still resonates with Bond buffs and popular-music fans alike! LIVE AND LET DIE – 50th ANNIVERSARY EXPANDED LIMITED EDITION showcases the film’s iconic music in exhilarating fashion, with improved sound and never-before-released material.

Produced by Neil S. Bulk, Disc One of this release showcases the Score Presentation, while a remaster of the original 1973 soundtrack album is housed on Disc Two, along with additional music tracks! The film score and original soundtrack album have been remixed from original 16-track masters by Chris Malone and mastered by Doug Schwartz in high resolution. (Please note only the score has been remixed – the McCartney song, the "Fillet Of Soul" tracks and "Just A Closer Walk With Thee/New Second Line" are all sourced from the original album masters.)

This special release is limited to 5000 units and features exclusive, in-depth liner notes by “The Music of James Bond” author Jon Burlingame and sharp art design by Dan Goldwasser.

All of us petulant Bond score fans who've been carping for decades (two) about chronological and complete '70s releases...open those wallets now if you want the other titles later.

If I can do $400 for the complete Solti Der Ring des Nibelungen, we can all
do $65 for the first batch of '70s Bond.

I saw this as a teen during its theatrical release and have never forgotten the eerie descending passage underscoring the moments when Bond is being lowered into the pit after having a little blood shed. It’s part of or similar to a part of the instrumental interlude in the title song. I think it may be cue #21/ Bond’s Watch?

That's why you always ask for money when someone asks you what you want for Xmas.
It's not coming out of the budget... And away from discerning eyes. If you no what I mean. wink

Looks like an Awesome Release.

I still have my Original LP Soundtrack. I remember seeing the movie first run in the Theater! I was a Sophomore in High School when it came out and a buddy who had a car drove us to see it. I can still hear the Paul McCartney and Wings song playing triumphantly. Always loved that theme and Martin's score. Man, hard to believe that was 50 years ago. I was 15 when I saw it, turning 16 before year's end.

Bond is not archeology.
Nobody comes close to 007 !!!

More expanded 007’s, please !

Excellent and surprising news! Instant orders for both this and Live and Let Die. I'm really intrigued about those alternate versions here, and I usually don't bother with alternates. George Martin really hit a home run here, offering a funky score that matches well with the scenes and locations and with great action cues and one of the loveliest melodies in the entire series (Bond Meets Solitaire). Along with Kamen's License to Kill, it's probably my favorite non-Barry Bond score.

I just bought Octopussy and I am looking forward to hearing it but I have the 2002 expanded FSM produced CD of Live and Let Die which is not too different from this version. Don't get me wrong, the score is fantastic but I just can't justify spending $38.00 including shipping to buy it.

I am intrigued with the added Boat Chase Pt 1 Early Version cue and would love to know more about how that came to be but for the moment I will pass.

Well done LLLR on a great release.
