I wonder what it is that gets people going about the slide whistle?
Is it the fact that it caps off the Bond series' slow slide into camp and self-parody? If so, they may as well acknowledge that that slide began with certain scenes in Goldfinger and picked up steam with every movie except On Her Majesty's Secret Service from there on.
With The Spy who Loved Me and Moonraker being virtual half-comedies until For Your Eyes Only put the breaks on for a single movie.
I think the salient phrase is "lighten up".

i finally received my order. Great score and i was surprised that a track i was looking for BOTTOMS UP 2 is there. Just a question : I have a boot and it contains LET'S GO GET HEM and they removed the whistle. Why it was not done for this edition ?
My first guess: because it was not recorded as an overlay, therefore not easily removable.
My second guess: because whatever we might think about how misjudged it was, that's the original music, and who are we to over-rule what the original music was?
Bear in mind the bootleggers you are promoting will not have had access to the scoring masters, no matter what lies they tell.
If they removed ithe slide whistle, and it really is from the CD track and not a computer-based Midi recreation, they will have done it in ways that over-process the track and make it sound crap.
You're right, but keep in mind that some of those are better from what you would expect
These bootlegs are always, without fail, shoddy products that just rip the original CDs, and add combinations of back-channel DVD rips, Silva Screen versions, and computer based midi recreations, and lie that it's the original music.
One guy even got angry at La-La Land because his bootleg of Moonraker had music that was not on the LLL CD, such as the "Moonraker Overture" (an Erich Kunzel track) and "Corinne's Theme" which was a rip of the title track from The Beyondness of Things. Talk about taking the p—.
These bootleggers are there to exploit the simple and the gullible.
The only reason I'm even commenting is so that everyone knows to take their crappy bootlegs, if they bought them, ditch them, and buy the one and only proper release of this music.
Cheers

I will buy the official edition no matter how many bootlegs i have. Some are AWFULL and some are very good.
Please listen to this track, i want to know if its the same quality.

You can really hear the roughness in Lulu's voice in the final stanzas of the main title song.
Well done, team!

So after 50 years or so I have that score ingrained: to me, that slide-whistle interrupt is part of the cue Let's Go Get 'Em and it works brilliantly ... both with and without the visuals. As I have commented before: the stunt is superb but director Guy Hamilton decided to make a joke of it by including the scene where Clifton James appears to fall out of his seat. This joke could have been left unscored ... guess how many fans would have complained then.
The obvious follow-up question: why didn't Bond fall out of his seat? Neither of them were wearing seatbelts!
As for the music: it would have been nice to have a swanee-free version, but if there isn't one, there isn't one. No problem.
