I would buy it.

26 minutes of good stuff is worth more than 70 minutes of "blah".

Cheers

Excellent edition (I hope)! And later I have heard that complete edition is impossible ("lost" tapes).
So one day we can see complete Moonraker, I hope (and I do not believe that tapes "lost"!
Tapes to Thunderbal and other remastered editions was in EMI archives and why tapes to Moonraker must be in the record studio?)

By the way - a small question - how soon will be made international delivery? The status of my order has not changed for three days, I'm worried - maybe you have not received the money (though my bank said that the translation was successful ...)

Thanks for your reply - you calmed me!
I look forward for new CDs of the great John Barry from Intrada!

This is now the second straight Intrada release that I ordered and received all the way over on the East Coast in two days! SPECTACULAR! Loving this CD as well! Thank you!

Listening for the first time at this very moment, and I have to say the score CD is a revelation. The overall pace, and much slower unfolding of ideas (as opposed to the familiar blue vinyl ballet), seem exactly right. And there is quite simply more of this great music to hear. The mono sound is more muted than we are used to (not too much so, but it's noticeable), but I'll take it any day when the riches are so plentiful. For me, this score is plucked straight from the heart of the richest period of the so-called silver age. Williams was blazing forth in 1977 with his re-invention of the entire genre via STAR WARS and CE3K, while Goldsmith was summoning Stravinsky and Bartok and showing them how it's really done. And so some of us (certainly myself), felt like Barry took a backseat in this period of the 70's. At the time, I honestly thought he was a lightweight by comparison. But lord have mercy, this recording makes the case that he was writing music as powerful and intelligently conceived as you could ask for. None of the other masters at the time could have taken this score to quite such a deep indigo heart of darkness as Barry did.

Never mind, I'll get to hear this maybe some time next week.

Speaking of Barry releases, someone needs to convince Mr. De Laurentiis to allow an expanded King Kong (76) to be released.

This was my very first LP I bought when I was 8, and there is a nice amount of music unreleased. Plus it would hopefully be free of the sound effects that are on the original album.

I have heard this story too.
Probably we can ask Mr. Kendall, where he and EMI had found extended tapes - from EMI vault or from the studios (eg, CTS Studio, where Barry recorded Bond in the 60's).
If that tapes was from the EMI vault - we still have hope that someday the record will be found (because in 2002-2003 they simply no looking for them!).
But if they take tapes from the studio's archives - most likely we'll never hear Moonraker...
