Part of a limited edition of 5,000. Introducing the James Bond Live And Let Die Soundtrack 2 CD Set - 50th Anniversary Expanded Remastered Edition, an expanded re-issue of George Martin’s original score to Live And Let Die (1973), starring Roger Moore in his debut as 007, directed by Guy Hamilton. Total album time is 1:41:19. This new issue showcases the film’s iconic music in exhilarating fashion, with improved sound and never-before-released material.
Backstory. A new Bond demanded a fresh take on the film’s score and its title song. Composer and Beatles producer George Martin and Paul McCartney more than succeed in this challenging mission, resulting in a film score and title track that, fifty years later, still resonates.
Details. Produced by Neil S. Bulk, Disc One of this release showcases the Score Presentation, while a remaster of the original 1973 soundtrack album is housed on Disc Two, along with additional music tracks! The film score and original soundtrack album have been remixed from original 16-track masters by Chris Malone and mastered by Doug Schwartz in high resolution. (Please note only the score has been remixed – the McCartney song, the "Fillet Of Soul" tracks and "Just A Closer Walk With Thee/New Second Line" are all sourced from the original album masters.)
This special release is limited to 5,000 units and features exclusive in-depth liner notes by “The Music of James Bond” author Jon Burlingame. Combined length of the double CD is 1 hour, 41 minutes, 19 seconds.
