May have to give them a listen. I am not a huge audiophile so I can't tell you if they are superior in sound to the CD's or not. :)
They are by far my most prized steelbooks in my collection (I collect steels and Premium editions btw).
Would love to see some photographs of them.
PS not sure about formats, but I use postimages.org to upload images for the forum, then add the generated URLs into the post from the ‘image’ button on the toolbar.
Thanks!
Dr. No is probably my favorite although I wasn't quite satisfied with the back as the black area was added in order for the full artwork to fit the template.
I recently asked my friend to re-create the steelbook but with different inside art and major improvement to the back (using the same artwork).
The artwork for Dr. No, OHMSS and the front cover of YOLT was created by an artist called Jeff Marshall - he's a huge Bong fan and his illustrations/lithos/posters are gorgeous. He also made stunning art for FRWL, Goldfinger and Thunderball but unfortunately these could only fit an horizontal steelbook, which I didn't want.
For these 3 films and YOLT's back I used well known illustrations and promo shots.
Much obliged !
Awesome! I hope you enjoy them. The LLL expansions of TWINE and DAD are releases I thought would never happen and wipe the floor with the old CDs. Particularly DAD which had a lot of loudness compression on the original 2002 CD.
That sounds like original copies of FYEO-LTK. They swapped record companies throughout the 80's. The Dalton films are the hardest to find on LP with LTK being extraordinarily difficult and generally fetching prices well above $20-$40 USD. Comparing to the CDs the mostly sounds the same with some different EQ choices here and there and Ryko expanded FYEO and TLD. AVTAK is night and day as the 2003 CD sounds pretty bad and muffled and the LP is warm and exceptionally well mastered. I'd love to find the original 1991 Japanese AVTAK CD one day which sounds great as well.
That is the JB compilation LP I recommended above. Absolutely incredible LP that sounds great with brilliant mastering.
Wow, I never knew one could make custom steelbooks. Those look very nice!
That THUNDERBALL one is stunning!!
These are great. Although I do prefer the ones that use artworks as opposed to the 1996 'baby hands' covers. Really like the OHMSS one with just Bond and Tracy.
Thanks for all the kind feedbacks.
I chose this less ‘Bondian’ art for OHMSS as it is a much more character driven movie whose focus is the love story between Bond and Tracy. The white background also complements perfectly the film’s main setting.

Did you get a package price for Dalton, the book and the cat??
You look a lot like Tim Dalton, I must say.
So does that man.
(Cool buy!)
Very nice! Wonder what word they censored after 'The'?
Thank you for the brilliant poster, @mtm! Legendary addition to my Bond workstation! :P
'black'.
These are baseless accusations and furthermore I'm not letting you in without a search warrant.
