One possibility I've seen before (Tomorrow Never Dies I think) is that not all the score was completed when the album master needed to be handed in for manufacturing etc.

The fact that it says "Album Version" is a pretty big reveal. It tells me that there is at least something other than the album edit of that cue exists. I think this was a (not very) subtle easter egg to confirm that they are at least working on Spider-Man 2. Of course, I'm just stating the obvious that others have likely said in different ways already, but I'm anticipating good things, so I don't care. At any rate, if this and Spider-Man 3 are given the LLLR treatment, we are in for an amazing time.

If Aliens is in stock, I doubt we'll get it further expanded. It's basically complete, but perhaps needs a little polish if it is to be revisited from the DE.

T3 would be fantastic. I really love that score. The film: eh.

Would they be re-releasing Brainstorm with the original score recordings? I can dream ...

Interesting to see such releases.

I simply have Tomorrow Never Dies for the score. I I kept the other releases, the album names would be: James Bond 18 - Tomorrow Never Dies James Bond 18 - Tomorrow Never Dies - Original Soundtrack James Bond 18 - Tomorrow Never Dies - Chapter III James Bond 18 - Tomorrow Never Dies - Alternates .. and so on. (I know, for some series, such as Star Trek, Star Wars etc., I keep things in an ordered series naming. Star Trek TOS - S1 - 01 - The Cage Star Trek TOS - S1 - 02 - Where No Man Has Gone Before or Star Wars - 1 - The Phantom Menace Star Wars - 2 - Attack of the Clones Star Wars - 3.1 - Solo A Star Wars Story I haven't applied it to all series, but when there are many movies with significant ordering being appropriate, I do so. Always with the release year of the film or TV show season.

I like that approach. In those cases, I have separate albums for each disk (Album - Disk 1, Album - Disk 2). Unfortunately some systems seem to choke on the disk number issue. For scores, I tend to join the score into a single continuous album and create separate albums for bonus and alternate cues. Since I'm not restricted to album length, I see little reason to maintain disks when the score is spread over multiple disks. This is pretty much my approach. Always the year of the film. If it is a separate re-recording, I sometimes put the year, or some meaningful description in the title. Since I have a curation practice of having one, definitive release of a given score, I don't have to differentiate which release of a score I have, so the year of release or the catalog number is not needed or maintained. To track my actual CDs, I use SoundtrackCollector.com.

I set the Composer as the Album Artist, then Composer(s) and Conductor(s) for each track, as well as the usual Year and Genre (soundtracks). For song-scores, or compilations, I use Various. So my file structure is: Album Artist \ Score \ track - track name.mp3 For pop songs I separately tag Artist (band), Composer / writer etc.

This is an immediate order for me. No familiarity with this score but James Horner’s very first score. i never thought this one would ever see the light.

Sam Smith was fine aside from that annoying falsetto in my view. Radiohead had an interesting take but was rejected for good reason.

The San Smith song has grown on me over time. Given the importance of the song, good or not good. I’d always want it included with the score. You Know My Name was sorely missed from Casino Royale for example. For Bond the opening is always a key musical component to the film.

I'm in the same boat with this one. It sort of works in the film I suspect, but the song really does nothing for me.

I have a compilation of bond songs (50 years 50 tracks set) that includes it, so I used that in my "virtual" playlist.

If you don't have it, get it. It is an EXCELLENT score. Song is not great, but score is.

I don't always read them, but if I have the time I do. Sometimes there is a lot of great insight in a well-written set of liner notes.

Listening to CD 1. Really enjoying this one. It has a kind of swagger to it I really like. Lots of fun.

LLLR send my copy ....

I find tagging things up in my archive as very zen, and allows me to quickly find the music I want to hear at any point. I'm something of a collector, but I'm not a hoarder, I curate the collection. Broadly, I have a set of rules (guidelines really) when it comes to titles: Only one release of any given score. When possible/practical, ensure I get the definitive / complete version of the score. If there is a previous release, pass it on via a donation or a sale / trade at a used CD store so that another individual can discover the music. If a previous version is signed, treat as an exception. If a previous version contains significant material absent from the new definitive release, treat as an exception.

I think you should just stick to the cue names or track names for the main score. The fact that the album versions or different mixes are in separate albums usually provides differentiating context.

For film scores, I have a general Style I apply to my metadada. Just for a little context, I use Windows Media Player and have it apply folder structuring and naming based on the tags, and use MP3Tag to fine tune the tagging and apply the artwork. I also use it to play back music from my laptop over headphones. For complete score releases, I always name an albul for the film it applies to, and ensure the "Album" contains the complete score from beginning to end, combining multiple disks into the album. I then keep separate albums for different groups of Alternates, named for the film with " - Alternates" and " - Album Versions" depending on what is on the disks. The OST or Original Albums are named "<Film Name> - Original Soundtrack" if present, and I ensure I have the LP or CD album cover (often from SoundtrackCollector.com). When the full score includes "Film Version" etc. I simply have the track title.

Well, order is now "Awaiting Shipment" so they are likely working through them. It's also "Temporarily Out Of Stock" on the website.

James Bond will return in ... the Second Pressing

This should be shipping soon. Hope my standalone order gets sent out today as scheduled.

That was an easy order for me. Samples sound fantastic to me.
