James Bond On Her Majesty's Secret Service Soundtrack Double CD Set - Expanded Remastered Edition

Part of a limited edition of just 5,000. Introducing the remastered and expanded 2-CD re-issue of composer John Barry’s original motion picture score to On Her Majesty's Secret Service. This new release showcases the film’s music in exhilarating fashion, with improved sound and never-before-released material.

Backstory.  The sixth James Bond film, On Her Majesty's Secret Service was released in 1969. The film stars George Lazenby for the first time as James Bond and is directed by Peter Hunt, who edited the five previous 007 films. With four legendary Bond scores already to his credit, composer John Barry reported for duty for the fifth time to provide the musical continuity and introduce a new 007, as George Lazenby would be first to succeed Sean Connery in the iconic role of Bond.

Details.  The score, like the film, is thrilling and powerful, bursting with action, drama and glamour - and considered by many to be one of Barry's finest works, as demonstrated by this deluxe 2-CD release. The remastered and expanded presentation of Barry's score includes the songs "We Have All The Time In The World," performed by Louis Armstrong and "Do You Know How Christmas Trees Are Grown?" performed by Nina, with lyrics by Hal David.

The album is produced and mixed by Neil S. Bulk, and mastered by Doug Schwartz, from the original 3-track 1/2" masters, with the song "We Have All The Time In The World" mixed from the original 1" 8-track tapes. Two cues that were unavailable on the stereo tapes are in the program's bonus section, pulled from the mono film stem and processed into stereo by Chris Malone. Disc 1 and the opening of Disc 2 present the expanded score presentation. This is followed by the original 1969 soundtrack album, newly edited and mixed for this release. Disc 2 concludes with additional cues, including an unused film version of the song "We Have All The Time In The World" featuring Louis Armstrong. 

This special release is limited to 5,000 units and features exclusive, in-depth liner notes by author Jon Burlingame, with an introductory note by composer David Arnold. Combined length of the double CD is 2 hours, 31 minutes, 46 seconds.
