Quick question to Neil. Is that cue called Take Mr Bond to School / Chula / Escape includes all the music when Asian women take care of Bond in Hai Fat's school, Chula preparing to fight Bond on the mat while the crowd's yelling his name as well as Bond's jumping out of the school's window and lying outside for a few moments when Hip arrives? The album time says this cue is 1:30 but from what I checked in the film, it lasted 1:50 in the film. So is this cue complete here? And I presume Lulu's song (film version with differently singing vocal) is lost?

After Bond's escape the film tracks in around 22 seconds from "20,000 Baht."
And I might as well say it now, the end fight with Nick Nack was never scored and the scene in the film is tracked with "In The Boot."
And I presume Lulu's song (film version with differently singing vocal) is lost?
In all of my research I never heard a different vocal for the song. I also asked Chris Malone about this and he concurred the take was the same on the album and film. I carefully lined up the mono film and original album to our tapes to confirm this.

Oh, great about Chula track. I thought so that it might have been in 20,000 Baht track. What I meant about Lulu song is that she sings differently in the film opening title sequence but uses the same lyrics. The album version clearly is different, I checked the movie yesterday watching it and I can confirm it is a little different, especially at the end of the song. BJ Arnau had two versions vocally on your LALD release so in this case Lulu is the similar case but it is just a song so it doesn't matter that much. By the way, if I may ask while we're talking about songs, I've just ordered your Live and Let Die release and I guess the track On the Train / Finale does not repeats Paul McCartney's outro song as it is just cut from the intro song and put during the film's credits so you didn't want to repeat it again, right?

Perhaps you can explain what is different with the Lulu song

Gosh, I'm terribly sorry. I've just checked the song again now and it seems like Neil was right, the song is the same in the film as in the album. Where did I have my ears? Facepalm. I'm sorry again.
how did they get the voice only version here - you can faint hear the orchestra here in the back ground
Extracted and isolated the center channel from the DVD or Blu-ray surround mix maybe?
wouldn't there be music in center
Yeah, I thought so too but speaking of songs, I wonder if Live and Let Die song is a part of the score and MGM or EON had the rights to it or maybe McCartney has the rights and LaLaLand had to pay him for the licence to this song as well. Artists and their licences can be a little greedy these days (a great example is Madonna from Die Another Day or Bryan Adams from Intrada's Robin Hood Prince of Thieves). So I wonder if this is the reason why at the end of Live and Let Die score there is no McCartney Live and Let Die song reprise like it was in the film.
I don't know what happened in the specific case of that video, but there are AI tools to separate vocals from backing tracks in songs. That's a possible way it was done.

Oh wait, I actually have an answer for this! Maybe this was me being too clever, but when played back on a computer, when "On The Train / Finale" ends disc 1, "Live And Let Die" opens disc 2! That was the intent! I thought this was a good solution to not playing the song a third time.

Cool stuff.
In my "digital album" I took the liberty of recreating the film transition there.

Neil Yes, thank you, Neil. That might be the point you had. Good point, sir.
