La-La Land Records, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, EON Productions and Universal Music Enterprises mark the 50th Anniversary of the ninth 007 film The Man With The Golden Gun, with a remastered and expanded 2-CD re-issue of composer John Barry's original motion picture score.  Produced by Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, the 1974 film stars Roger Moore as James Bond with Christopher Lee as Francisco Scaramanga, and is directed by Bond veteran Guy Hamilton.

 

Hot off a stellar debut in Live And Let Die, Moore returns in The Man With The Golden Gun, a film that would also mark the return of Oscar® winning composer John Barry to the franchise, providing his first score for Moore’s 007. The composer accompanies the globe-trotting adventure with yet another accomplished work – with 007 motifs, familiar and new, blended within an irresistible meld of classic orchestra, rock and jazz. With lyrics by Don Black, the bombastic title song is brought to life by iconic Scottish singer Lulu.  Expanded beyond previous soundtrack editions and with highly enhanced audio quality, The Man With The Golden Gun is unleashed like never before within this deluxe presentation.

 

Produced by Neil S. Bulk, remixed by Chris Malone from high-resolution digital transfers of 2" tapes provided by MGM and mastered by Doug Schwartz, this 2-CD release, limited to only 5,000 units, showcases the music of The Man With The Golden Gun in thrilling and comprehensive fashion. Disc 1 presents the score in chronological order and features music never before available. This is followed by additional music including source music recorded for the film and the demo take of the title song. Disc 2 presents the original 1974 soundtrack album, newly assembled for this release. The new, exclusive liner notes are by journalist and author Jon Burlingame, and the art design is by Dan Goldwasser.

[OneBuckFilms 406]

Ordered as soon as I saw it available. This is quite the treasure.

[Mr. Who 998]

Two Barry Bond score releases in one day! LLL is having a great end of year!

[Trope 913]

Amazing how LLL went from (IMO) a not especially interesting year of releases to one of their best ever in the span of a few weeks! I will keep my mouth shut in the future.

[Smaug The Iron 600]

Great! Ordered!

[bruce marshall 1,403]

Nobody seems to care, except the hardcore JB fans.

Not a great score;  definitely doesn't need Two discs!

[Andy 5,419]

I cared with my wallet.  And I’m not a hardcore Barry or Bond fan, but I like both a whole lot, if that distinction makes sense. 

[bruce marshall 1,403]

Would have purchased A single disc release 

But two cds costing forty two bucks? Nah
