    They are amazing and worth every penny. This is everything I wanted out of a Moonraker expansion.

    Absolutely amazing release. Nothing like drifting away to sleep while listening to it at night in bed.
    Also noticed Corinne is misspelled Corrine on the track list. While both spellings of the name exist, the actual spelling of the actress and character’s name is the former.

    I have to get used to the arrangement of Bond Theme notes during the Boat Chase (disc 1, track 11, about 2:30 and onwards). The Italian 'flavour' comes from an instrument that seemingly plays false notes. I know that's not the case, but it takes some getting used to. ;-)

    Other than that, this is an absolutely magnificent release; it ends a lifelong journey for me: looking for a great MR score.

    What an awesome listen this version of Barry's Moonraker is! It just reaffirms Moonraker as the most celestial-sounding Bond score.

    Having finally received both, I'm more than pleased with this excellent double release by La la land. The audio quality is top notch and they include all the unreleased cues I've wanted for so long. Moonraker especially being on of my holy grail soundtracks. Getting to hear all new music was such a delight. I do see why some cues were ultimately cut but it's still an incredible score that I'm proud to own. TMWTGG too. I'm very excited to see what 2025 brings because I've been hoping for an expansion of AVTAK and GE for a long time as well.

    I think LLL doing Dr. No, TSWLM, AVTAK, LTK & GE...would make it complete. I wouldn't mind TLD, just to include the beautiful instrumental build-up of If There Was A Man, before Bond calls Kara with the Whistle keychain at the end of the film.
