Mr. Who 919 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 What are the chances of OHMSS getting released this year? Wasn’t a bond release back on the table? For some reason I had never seen OHMSS until yesterday (probably because of Lazenby) but I was so impressed! It’s definitively one of the very best Bond movies and Barry’s score is insanely good. The main theme and the love theme are all time greats and an expansion and remaster is really needed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Who 919 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 After just one listen, I’d say that OHMSS is the best Barry bond score. My precious favorite was Golden Gun but the themes in Majesty are just so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, James Fitzpatrick did successfully kickstart a re-recording project in 2015, but then cancelled it. I don't remember the details, but I guess the necessary rights aren't (or at least weren't) available. And considering it wasn't Fitzpatrick's first - nor his last - re-recording by far, it probably means the rights situation is more complex than expected.

A. A. Ron 1,742 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I don't think so. I think James Fitzpatrick is just a guy who has invested years of his life and a lot of his own money into making soundtrack recordings, but ultimately hasn't gotten much to show for it. Remember how he had the entire score for The Ten Commandments reconstructed for a new recording, but then abandoned the project when he found out Intrada would be releasing the original tracks? I think that was mostly a financial decision for him. In the case of Moonraker, I think that despite all his experience James underestimated both the cost and the rights issues required to make a new James Bond recording and when he realized the complexity of the task at hand, he decided it was more than he wanted to deal with.

I expect it's quite involved unless there's a full set of clean instrumental parts. Assuming not, they would likely need to prepare them based on whatever material is available (which may just be the conductor's score) and there's probably lots of little adjustments that were made at the original recording sessions that would need to be reflected in the new orchestral parts (unless the decision is made to go with the composer's original intentions which is sometimes the case). 12 hours ago, A.

That is a real shame as I have to admit that The Ten Commandments isn't a full score I'm likely to listen to, well, ever, as the sound of the original tracks is rarely above passable and is often downright terrible so like many am likely to stick to the 1960 Dot soundtrack album which was the version most widely available previously on CD (and sounds pretty decent). Given that the original Moonraker tracks aren't as lost as was thought and, unless they have been significantly damaged, could quite likely be remastered quite effectively (if the other Bond scores of the era are anything to go by) then I'm not sure I'd consider it a super high priority. Having said that, it does have the cache of Bond and Barry which would likely make it a good seller to support more niche recordings. Of course a key issue with recording a Bond score is what to do about the title song... I'm pretty sure Shirley would be out of their price range.

1977 1,743 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Every time I think about watching OHMSS I think of the comment Barry made about Lazenby being like "oh wow, it fits!" at one of the recording sessions after hearing a cue played to picture. Needless to say Barry was about as amused as Her Majesty would have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yavar Moradi 2,599 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 15 hours ago, A Farewell to Kings said: Didn't Williams score an episode of Wagon Train? Nope. He scored (at least) SIX. The old Wagon Train LP re-recording that was released in the late 50s included three cuts by Williams on it. (Alas, there's never been a licensed CD produced of it.) But his original association with Jack Marshall I believe was playing piano on Marshall's second film score: https://lalalandrecords.com/thunder-road-the-film-music-of-jack-marshall-limited-edition/ "Produced by Mike Matessino and Frank Marshall (producer/director and son of the composer), this special release of 1200 Units, meticulously restored by Matessino, features exclusive, in-depth liner notes by writer Jon Burlingame, a candid forward from Frank Marshall and a personal introductory note from Jack Marshall’s friend, composer John Williams, who performed as pianist on THUNDER ROAD in one of his early Hollywood session assignments."
