|---|---|---|
The front movie poster cover is different layout to the vinyl album ( same Moore pose between legs but no movie artwork ) but the rear/inside is the back of the 16 page booklet with a full photo of bike & 007 on bobsleigh run. The booklet with notes by Chris Neel who reviews the original album but not the bonus tracks. He supplies, as previously, a track order listing to tie-in with the Moore movie along with some memorable color movie photos. On the rear is again different to vinyl album, a monotone photo of the car chase with added bar code, left track listings & top right movie credits. The silver CD has red centre circle with silver text. Removing CD shows photo of Moore about to kick the car off the cliff. |

Bonus Tracks |
The third in the 'Deluxe Editions' of Bond soundtracks is one of my favourite non-Barry 007 movie scores. Mr Conti's interesting and varied music is still not dated after all these years. Like Barry, his music manages to remind us of locations & scenes and I am puzzled why he was never asked back. Singer Sheena Easton provides a memorable title song with the instrumental version used at many a beauty pageant. Apart from his romantic themes which are most relaxing, my favourite track still remains the exciting ski chase music called Runaway ( track 8 ) but it's good to have the upbeat & opening Gunbarrel ( track 13 ) now included. Like The Living Daylights and unlike Octopussy editions, there is no original incidental dialogue from the film and sadly no multimedia ( was this due to DVDs at the time ? ). Also no fold-out poster to accompany the CD, instead the booklet ( see left ). Despite being another must for any 007 fan to add to their Bond music collection ( in my case to replace a much played vinyl LP ), the presentation and content standard has sadly dropped on this release. If there was to have been a fourth edition, there had to have been an improvement in research and other content. |
