I hope they will surprise us and do a double release: TSWLM on cd ánd vinyl and naturally, they use the variant Italian poster for the front of the cover! 😊😋😋😉
There were actually people who thought I’d have nothing left to whine about after the release of the complete Moonraker score. How naive! 🙄 🤭 😉

That poster is almost identical to the international poster - but why did they show Moore from that angle with that hair? I prefer this international one:
They changed Anya, too, in the Italian one. Why?

> - The Spy Who Loved Me – So much is missing from that soundtrack that it would be great to hear the full thing or, at least, a greatly expanded one.
> - Dr. No – I know it’s not one of the best scores–and it sounds like we may never get it–but other than the James Bond Theme all the best tracks are NOT on the current soundtrack. Those being the Death Of Dr. No, Killing The Guard, and Death Of The Tarantula. I think if we were to ever get an expanded score, then people’s opinion of it would be a bit better even if it’s never one of their favorites.
> - Goldfinger – Again, it sounds like we’ll never get it especially since we got a recent re-release without the expanded score. But it is a classic and deserves to be heard in full.
> - From Russia With Love – And once again another score we’ll probably never get expanded, but it would be great to have.
> - A View To A Kill – It is one of the few James Bond soundtracks to have never gotten any extra tracks other than those in the original release so an expanded one would be terrific.
> - GoldenEye – Similar to AVTAK. Not among the best scores, but still a fairly entertaining one in its own right.
> - You Only Live Twice – A great score. John Barry does Japan. We’ve gotten some extra music in the past, but not a fully expanded score and certainly not in film order.
> - For Your Eyes Only – Another great score, this one by Bill Conti. Like YOLT, we’ve gotten extra music, but not fully expanded.
> - The Living Daylights – And again another great score by Barry. Similar situation to YOLT and FYEO.
> - Casino Royale – I’ve never heard the iTunes extra tracks that was released after the original soundtrack, so it would be good to hear them as well as the rest of the expanded score.
> - Quantum Of Solace – The Daniel Craig soundtracks have had many more tracks than those released previously, but they still aren’t the full scores.
> - Skyfall – See QOS.
> - No Time To Die – See QOS and Skyfall.
The above is a great list of what LLLR hopefully will expand.
Below is my current list in order of the old scores with the most missing music followed by the Daniel Craig films that I hope LLLR expand.
I do wonder if maybe Quartet might do in partnership with LLLR the 1st 3 Bond Scores as re recordings, that would be awesome especially as they did such a great job with the Ipcress File , let’s see.
But I am certainly enjoying all the Bond Expansions from LLLR so far they have been amazing & excellent & I think it’s because Neil S Bulk the producer is such a Bond fan & really cares about each Bond release 🎥🎥
The Spy Who Loved Me – About 40 minutes of unreleased music
GoldenEye – About 40 minutes of unreleased music
A View To A Kill – About 20 minutes of unreleased music
For Your Eyes Only – About 20 minutes of unreleased music
The Living Daylights – About 18 minutes of unreleased music
You Only Live Twice – About 13 minutes of unreleased music
Casino Royale 2006 – About 20 minutes of unreleased music
Quantum Of Solace – About 9 minutes of unreleased music
Skyfall – About 1 Hour 14 Minutes of unreleased music
No Time To Die – About 1 Hour 9 Minutes of unreleased music

But that one we already have as an LP and cd cover, for a new one I would like a different cover, like the different posters for the Thunderball and OHMSS cd’s.
Personally I like the Italian poster better, but that is a personal taste ofcourse. I once bought one on Ebay, when I thought it was one of normal size, but when it arrived it was gigantic, like the Italian posters of Eyes Only and Moonraker I bought in the eighties in London and which still hanging on my wall in my hobby room.

So I have a theory about this poster. I’ve been fortunate to be able to see the final piece a few times at various Peak galleries. If you look at the Italian poster you can tell Moore’s likeness isn’t great. My theory is this the original painting. Now look at the image you posted. There’s a box with Moore’s face on it that goes under the pyramid. My theory is this is a revision to improve the likeness and it’s stuck on over the old face. I have nothing to prove this, but in person you can see this has been added. The whole piece is mixed media and it’s stunning to study.

But if you watch closely the rest of the poster is also in a slightly different style.

It was common practice back in the day that local artists did local versions of the posters. A prime example is the Brazilian Moonraker poster…
[Siegried Gross](https://gross-art.eu), the guy who created this one for the German market
once told me that they usually had to be approved. And back in the day, that meant that you had to send originals, because making a reproduction of an unapproved artwork would have been way too expensive. Oftentimes, these were paper montages, very fragile and not really made for what “shipping” was back in the day (it actually _was_ “shipping”). Siegfried told me that it was always an ordeal when he had something like that on the way. There was no tracking or scheduled delivery day, things just happened, and sometimes it took weeks. He was happy when he got at least a confirmation that it had arrived, but he never knew how well it would be handled during the approval process, and he never had any influence on the process of shipping it back to him. All he could do was hope that it would be returned in not too many pieces, if at all.
He also told me of a Star Wars poster design he never got back, but’s certain that he saw elements of it on well known official posters… 😉
Back in the day, anything could happen. 🤪
Oh. and I’d like to suggest that the above poster would make a perfect inside of a gatefold record sleeve 😉

Yes it would, although I also love the original black English gatefold with photo’s from the movie insite including the -for me when I was a teenager- magical Lotus Esprit. When I found the original English vinyl in some record shop in London when I was there on Holiday with my father in the eighties (we did this almost every year) it was such a great find!
Later I found out in The Netherlands that we got another version with a blue cover and not realy great black and white pictures on the back. Unfortunately that became the cd cover.

Never Say Never Again is my least favorite score but I didn’t hesitate ordering to continue to support La-La-Land Records stellar work.

Me too, but the only thing I am a little afraid of is that maybe they now first go for the scores we not that eager for, instead of the ones we realy, realy want. Like Dr. No and FRWL without any new music instead of TSWLM, AVTAK, YOLT, TLDL etc.

Yes, but what if those releases don’t sell that good? Does this effect other future releases as well?
The Goldfinger cd release with no new music is still not OOP after aproxy two years. What if this is also the case with NSNA and -when released- Dr. No and FRWL?
We 've got now a series of not very populair tittles one after another LTK, SP, NSNA
They probably will not sell very quick. It makes me a little nervous for my dream release of TSWLM.

I advise buying a back-up copy of DAF (presuming, of course, that you have not already done so).

I have to admit - although I was telling otherwise before ordering- untill now I only bought one copy of the new DAF. The last couple of weeks, months, almost all money I had to spare went to different versions of the new Stones album. Right now I have 14 different vinyl versions and five cd versions and I want at least three more vinyl versions if not more, so there you go…

Bond will always sell better than most other specialty releases, so rest assured: as long as LLL gets approvals from the licence holders there will be a release.

I hope so!
By the way I saw that my parcel (whithout any tax costs!!) will arrive tomorrow between half past six and eight o’clock in the evening, first it was monday but I have changed this, because I’m not sure they’ll just put it through the letterbox when I’m not there.

My NSNA package has arrived.
And while I always liked the score before this complete edition makes me enjoy it even more.
Did I already mention that I consider the title song (and main theme for Bond) one of the best in the series?
It has that „lean back, this will be fun, all is well in the world when Bond can triumph“-feeling, that sunny quality that has eluded many later songs.

I have to admit, the new limited edition Never Say Never Again score from Lalaland has made me enjoy the film’s music more than I ever had before. It’s still the worst of the series for me, but it has been improved.
For me, it’s similar to the GoldenEye score in that I like it better when listening to it by itself rather than when it’s paired up with what’s going on up on the screen.

I believe it disappointed many because it is very old school, not Barry-esque and - surprise! - does not feature the Bond theme(s).
Does it fit with the film? Definitely. But some people even tried to rescore the film (many years later on the interweb) with Barry scores and were convinced that would make the film better.
Silly. It is different and exactly what the film needed.

Got it! And no tax this time!
But do I wanna listen to it… Mwaaa!
So now four months waiting and then it is the 50th anniversary of…yes!
