“THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN: 50th ANNIVERSARY REMASTERED & EXPANDED LIMITED EDITION (2-CD SET)”
Music composed and conducted by John Barry
Title song sung by Lulu, Lyrics by Don Black
Limited Edition of 5000 Units


RETAIL PRICE: $31.98
STARTS SHIPPING DEC 10


Exclusive release: Sold exclusively here at www.lalalandrecords.com and 007Store.com for the first 90 days of release

La-La Land Records, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, EON Productions and Universal Music Enterprises mark the 50th Anniversary of the ninth 007 film The Man With The Golden Gun, with a remastered and expanded 2-CD re-issue of composer John Barry's original motion picture score.  Produced by Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, the 1974 film stars Roger Moore as James Bond with Christopher Lee as Francisco Scaramanga, and is directed by Bond veteran Guy Hamilton.

Hot off a stellar debut in Live And Let Die, Moore returns in The Man With The Golden Gun, a film that would also mark the return of Oscar® winning composer John Barry to the franchise, providing his first score for Moore’s 007. The composer accompanies the globe-trotting adventure with yet another accomplished work – with 007 motifs, familiar and new, blended within an irresistible meld of classic orchestra, rock and jazz. With lyrics by Don Black, the bombastic title song is brought to life by iconic Scottish singer Lulu.  Expanded beyond previous soundtrack editions and with highly enhanced audio quality, The Man With The Golden Gun is unleashed like never before within this deluxe presentation.

Produced by Neil S. Bulk, remixed by Chris Malone from high-resolution digital transfers of 2" tapes provided by MGM and mastered by Doug Schwartz, this 2-CD release, limited to only 5,000 units, showcases the music of The Man With The Golden Gun in thrilling and comprehensive fashion. Disc 1 presents the score in chronological order and features music never before available. This is followed by additional music including source music recorded for the film and the demo take of the title song. Disc 2 presents the original 1974 soundtrack album, newly assembled for this release. The new, exclusive liner notes are by journalist and author Jon Burlingame, and the art design is by Dan Goldwasser.

Wonderful! Thanks LLL!

TMWTGG is an underrated score IMO. I've always loved it.

It was the longer original Bond album before the Brosnan scores (the only over 40 min. on original release) but still has tons of previously unreleased music!

It is a kind of transitional score, introducing the lush/string sound Barry would adopt for Roger Moore, but still retains the more energetic sound and more heavy scoring of previous entries in the series, lot's of themes and motivs on this one and those "location inspired" instrumentation/tracks that I love so much on Bond (and Barry quoting LALD for sheriff Pepper, aknowledging a score he was not involved with was a nice touch). I'll not defend the whistle effect, but on the album it is OK and that track otherwise is wonderfull.

I even like the Lulu song and its instrumentals.

Golden Gun is a very good score, considering the time constraints put on John to do it. Underrated.

to the engineers

is the guitar audible in the LET'S GO GET 'EM


for those who have not yet heard it in the music there is a guitar (electric without any distortion) that plays chord rythm on beat 1 and 3

that one can be heard on original OST and EMI 2003 release

I never listen to those terrible songs that took so much space on that album (even the title song on LTK is overlong)... so I kind of forgot is was another one with more than 40 minutes.

So I rephrase: TMWTGG was the longest Barry bond original album ever, the only exceeding 40 minutes!
