Great news from La-La Land Records as they has announced the release of a new limited (5,000 copies) and expanded edition of John Barry's brilliant soundtrack for Live and Let Die (1973) to celebrate the film's 50th Anniversary. The remastered score can be ordered exclusively from La-La Land Record's website from 11th October 2024.

La-La Land Records, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, EON Productions and Universal Music Enterprises proudly commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the 1973 James Bond film Live and Let Die, with a remastered and expanded 2-CD re-issue of composer George Martin’s original motion picture score to the film, starring Roger Moore in his debut portrayal of 007 and directed by Guy Hamilton.

A new Bond demanded a fresh take on the film’s score and its title song - and famed composer and Beatles producer George Martin and former Beatle himself Paul McCartney more than succeed in this challenging mission, resulting in a film score and title track that, fifty years later, still resonates with Bond buffs and popular-music fans alike! LIVE AND LET DIE – 50th ANNIVERSARY EXPANDED LIMITED EDITION showcases the film’s iconic music in exhilarating fashion, with improved sound and never-before-released material.

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 5000 units and features exclusive, in-depth liner notes by “The Music of James Bond” author and From Sweden with Love reader Jon Burlingame and sharp art design by Dan Goldwasser.
