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 The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) to celebrate the film's 50th Anniversary. The remastered score can be ordered exclusively from La-La Land Record's website from 10th December 2024.

La-La Land Records, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, EON Productions and Universal Music Enterprises mark the 50th Anniversary of the ninth 007 film The Man With The Golden Gun, with a remastered and expanded 2-CD re-issue of composer John Barry's original motion picture score. Produced by Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, the 1974 film stars Roger Moore as James Bond with Christopher Lee as Francisco Scaramanga, and is directed by Bond veteran Guy Hamilton.

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. 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, author and From Sweden with Love reader Jon Burlingame, and the art design is by Dan Goldwasser.
