    I think that Barry's importance to the James Bond phenomenon cannot be understated. He's up there with Connery IMHO.

    Barry was at his peak with YOLT-OHMSS-DAF. I can't name a composer who did three better, and quite different, scores than these.

    I guess, for the sake of argument, Space March and 007 And Counting aren't wildly different ;)

    I finally decided to try the la la land special editions. I didn't bother with the David Arnold releases because aside from TND I'm not a huge fan of his music as a listening experience. And I missed out on Moonraker through my own procrastination. It's now sold out on 007 store. So I decided to try Live and Let die. And it's ok. While it's great to listen to the score in film order there really isn't anything that's not on the 2003 remaster. Was it worth £39? Probably not to be honest. However I've already pre-ordered LTK because if any Bond score needed a better edition it's that film. I think I'd only buy another la la land pressings if there is a significant addition to the existing remasters

    I did the same with the Arnold releases but I did catch the DAD release for a good price new recently and will eventually get the TND, but the TWINE I'm not concerned about unless I can get it for a good price. Some of the others are a different case.

    I like that they present the scores in order of appearance in the film and adding the original soundtrack and that's what's helped these become must-buys for me. I even got the updated Goldfinger soundtrack. So I don't mind paying for these as they are among the more worthy collectibles for me.

    I find it a bit awkward that a thread celebrating the release of a LTK score talks more about films that aren't LTK.
