Part of a limited edition of 5,000. Introducing the James Bond The Man With The Golden Gun Soundtrack Double CD Set - 50th Anniversary Expanded Remastered Edition, a remastered and re-sequenced CD re-issue of composer John Barry's original motion picture score, featuring music never before available.
Backstory. Hot off a stellar debut in Live And Let Die, Moore returns in The Man With The Golden Gun, a film that would also mark the return of Oscar® winning composer John Barry to the franchise, providing his first score for Moore’s 007. The composer accompanies the globe-trotting adventure with yet another accomplished work – with 007 motifs, familiar and new, blended within an irresistible meld of classic orchestra, rock and jazz. With lyrics by Don Black, the bombastic title song is brought to life by iconic Scottish singer Lulu.
Expanded beyond previous soundtrack editions and with highly enhanced audio quality, The Man With The Golden Gun is unleashed like never before within this deluxe presentation. Produced by Neil S. Bulk, remixed by Chris Malone from high-resolution digital transfers of 2" tapes provided by MGM and mastered by Doug Schwartz, this 2-CD release, limited to only 5,000 units, showcases the music of The Man With The Golden Gun in thrilling and comprehensive fashion.
Details. Disc 1 presents the score in chronological order and features music never before available. This is followed by additional music including source music recorded for the film and the demo take of the title song. Disc 2 presents the original 1974 soundtrack album, newly assembled for this release. The new, exclusive liner notes are by journalist and author Jon Burlingame.
