Yep, always LaLaLand.
I always buy from the 007 store as I live in the UK , it works out about the same price , but avoids getting any import Tax & seem to get a quicker delivery ![]()

I’m happy with whatever LLL chose to do, but I’m biased towards John Barry. I’m heading to Japan in December and I’ve naturally been thinking about You Only Live Twice. I’d love to see that get expanded in the future, along with his other remaining works - DAF, TLD and I think what could be next with AVTAK.
If they follow how they release these titles than this year still are coming AVTAK (1985) and GE (1995) and in 2026 the 45 and 55 aniversary’s of FYEO (1981) and DAF (1971) and CR (2006) and than finally in 2027 TSWLM (1977)!!! And probably YOLT (1967) and TLDL (1987).
But this is pure speculation ofcourse (and wishfull thinking)!
I believe the anniversaries are no must anymore. LLL signalled that 007 releases will come regularly now.
I hope so, 'cause I want the TSWLM 2cd very badly!
Indeed. That makes the release schedule more interesting. Whatever is next I’m ready to add to my collection:
I must admit I am biased towards John Barry expanded Bond scores, in order of what needs expanding AVTAK , TLD ( about 15 minutes of unreleased music) , YOLT & DAF, Non Barry would be Goldeneye , TSWLM, FYEO these could all be possible by the end of 2026 ![]()

Got my Thunderball cd today!
Sounds realy great!
So… what is next? ![]()
Really hoping we get AVTAK & Goldeneye on Black Friday but would welcome TSWLM. Let’s see what happens but exciting times to be a Bond Music Fan:movie_camera:![]()
TSWLM would be a moment of celebration considering what we’ve had, eg. re-recorded cues and not exact film stems, and a bare bones tracklisting at that. I noted recently just how good the gunbarrel cue is, and the whole album for that matter has a very atmospheric vibe. I watched the movie a ton as a kid. The Lotus investigating Atlantis before the goons arrive has always been my standout.
If you’d rather hear me talk instead of listening to this great music, I’m on another podcast discussing James Bond music. This time it’s with Brian McVickar on “A Score To Settle.”
The 2-LP expanded soundtrack to “Moonraker” can be pre-ordered now.

Yes! The Album versions of Lala and the 007 store are different, the discs have different colours etc.
I just bought them both. This is so good after all those years with a LP with only 35 minutes of music.
Tomorrow is LLL‘s traditional Black Friday release announcement. They have three releases ready.
And coincidentally there will be a screening of AVTAK soon during which a certain LLL producer will take part in…
Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving, which is always the fourth Thursday in November. This year Thanksgiving is the 27 and Black Friday is the 28.
As for the screening, it was scheduled months ago by the guys at “To Live and Let Die in L.A.” and they approached me a few weeks ago. It’s not a La-La Land endorsed or sponsored event.

Oh, um, right, so…

And I thought I would read the rumours correctly…
No Bond in the Black Friday releases, but it seems early 2026 is our best bet. Apparently there have been delays in getting final approval from various stakeholders for four other unnamed soundtracks.
Sounds like a piece of information from the days of old.
I like that we still have that kind of stuff… ![]()
I listened again to the Thunderball soundtrack and this is another great job. I was already very much satisfied by the 2003 expanded soundtrack but the LLL release definitely brings the quality to a next level. The unreleased and alternative soundtracks are great too (loving the full sequence Bombs revealed /Bond is discovered/Caught, Barry raises the stakes so well!).
Waiting for the next releases with impatience. Actually now I am more hyped by the LLL announcments than by Amazon’s… that is saying a lot.
