cannot hear the choir on the turntable either 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) there are subtle differences

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

Am I the only one who can't decode this? What are you trying to say? "Spacey synths" have always been a key part of Space Laser Battle, and they still are. But the trombones, while present, have never been as loud or clear on the album version. They've always been mixed in more softly. I think that's intentional — they don’t blend well with the F-horns, especially near the end of the track, so keeping them subtle helps the overall flow of the music on 1979 OST.

I don't believe it was intentional, at least not by John Barry. If I recall correctly, Barry wasn't present at the soundtrack mixing. Barry loved writing brass clusters, and it's a significant part of the Moonraker sound. I don't imagine he wanted the trombones buried. The original album mix is so muddy that many parts just get lost, and most of Barry's other original soundtracks have considerably more clarity. The clarity of the trombones is lost throughout the original album. There's no reason for them to be buried on Cable Car Fight. if he wanted the chords buried he would have just used strings, not trombones.

This has nothing to do with that - this about the trombone is from only Space Laser Battle that is the case

I don't hear any poor blend with the horns either. It sounds like typical 1970s Barry.
