Live and Let Die score La La Land Records 50th Anniversary CD Review

#liveandletdie #jamesbond #jamesbondmusic #lalalandrecords #soundtrack

I review the James Bond fan dream release2 CD set of George Martin's LIVE AND LET DIE score. This release uses the same hires source transfer as the 2003 Capitol expanded remaster but somehow manages to sound astoundingly more detailed! The sequencing is far better with more track cues, Disc 2 recreates the original 1973 LP sequence and features crucial additional content including demoes, alternate takes, alternate edits and AMAZINGLY selections from the uber rare 1973 quadrophonic mix of the score which was only released on 8 track tape.
Produced by Neil Bulk, Mixed by Chris Malone and mastered by Doug Schwartz with the liner notes being taken from Jon Burlingame's book, this 50th Anniversary edition will blow any Bond fan's mind. It is a dream release and easily one of the finest James Bond physical media releases on any format. Including the film releases.
