    Oh yeah, those blu-ray releases really were horrendous. Night and day difference in quality between those two posters.

    The LALD poster always confused me, though. It looks like someone is firing a colossal cannon of sorts, yet I can't remember seeing one of those. ;-)

    There's a story behind that. Apparently when they were filming, a local naval vessel was docked, and had this massive gun on board. An over eager photographer thought it be cool for Rog to pose behind it. When they came to choosing publicity shots for the film, it got thrown into the mix, and the artist doing the poster used it, even though it had nothing to do with the movie!

    Cool! Thanks, @Mathis1. I wish we could have actually seen Roger firing off this enormous gun in the film somehow.

    Truly one of the unsung heroes of the Bond films, a man whose name hasn't passed our keyboards often enough.

    RIP, Robin. Your legacy will live on in the heart of every Bond fan.

    Sad news indeed. I was just reading about him in the LTK chapter of Burlingame's "The Music Of James Bond". RIP

    Sad news to learn of Vic Flick’s passing.
    Coincidentally I’ve been listening to the best of Bond on Spotify, on my travels today including of course the James Bond theme, that Vic’s part in is legendary to Bind fans.
    RIP

    As a guitarist i rarely point out how Bic Flick influenced me and my playing which is a shame because he definitely did

    Sad to hear of the death of Vic Flick, an important early contributor to the Bond sound.
