I can’t stress enough how monumental this expanded Moonraker score is. What a long time coming. The debate about the tapes potentially being lost went on for years and I bought into the possibility. But here they are, pristine and sounding exactly as they do in the film without any re-recording required. What a relief.
This is a huge win for Moonraker as a whole, especially with it going under a re-evaluation in recent times. The original soundtrack had great content but it was still limited. That didn’t make for the best optics when the reputation for the film itself was mixed. This is a substantial upgrade in the tracklisting to fully showcase the brilliance of Barry’s work. Thanks to all involved in making this happen.
I never ordered something as fast as this. Can’t wait for it to arrive.
