well barry was arround when the LP was pressed and would have final say (i wpuld assume this since he coose a different take for GOLDEN GUNs search for scaramangas island)
So LA LA OST is not quite representive of the original LP but more a new take of it with remixet sound
which for me begs the question - is the remix a good choice when it is the same on the Film score OR would it have been better with a mastered album master (or remixing the cues to sound like the album master)
I've noticed a LOT more spacey synth sounds on some of the tracks like "Space Laser battle".
They may have been there on all the previous releases but I can't say I noticed it.
Also "Bond Arrives in Rio" has a lovely choir accompanying it which I hadn't noticed before.
I'm trying to make a list of every track on Moonraker Expanded that contains choir sections. Even the "Mardi Gras" seems to have the choir giving it a nice latin touch. Love it!

While I always heard the choir in "Bond Arrives in Rio" and the spacey synths, everything is just so much clearer, cleaner and pronounced resulting from this LLL presentation.
spacey synths has always been in Space Laser Battle but the trombones have not been so loud and clear on the album but always softened which i would mean they should since the don't flow well with the horn near the end of the track
I changed "17. The Magnificent Seven" to "The Magnificent 007". How did Barry miss that cue title opportunity?
He (Barry) once told me that he never named his cues themselves except when putting the album together later on. That may have changed in later years (we were actually talking about Goldfinger in this case) but probably not around the time of Moonraker so the new tracks on the expanded cd will be the work of the album producers

Am I the only one who can't decode this? What are you trying to say?
"Flight Into Space" has to be one of the all time great set pieces. this cue is absolutely sublime. Its a shame it was so hacked up in the finished film. So many great moments in this piece but that motif on Trombones (I think its Trombones) at 4:23 is perhaps my favorite out of all of Barry's scores.
