5 stars Track order, in case anyone wondered
A superb re-release of Barry's score. It's lucky that the albums which had elements available for remastering are, by and large, all of the best Bond scores.

Apparently, the tracks had to be kept in the original release order for contractual reasons. Anyway, in case anyone wants to make a CDR in the correct film order, here it is, matched up to my DVD,

13, 1, 14, 6, 9, 15-19, 4, 20, 3, 5, 8, 2, 11, 10, 12, 7, 21

2 stars I think this is the worst of John Barry's 007 scores...
I never really enjoyed the music during the film (nor, for that matter, did I enjoy the film!). Very tacky, dated, too much American flavour to the whole thing. Sadly, listening to the extended soundtrack has reminded me only of why I never liked this film!

Particularly dislikable tracks included : slumber Inc, The Whyte House, Circus Circus.

That whole excessive use of 'vibrato' (?) and other musical techniques sound so dated...

I am a huge, huge fan of Barry's other Bond scores, esp You Onl…
