*Original incidental dialogue from the film

This 'Deluxe Edition' contains the same ( not his best Bond ) original soundtrack by 'The Man' - John Barry but you also get some movie dialogue thrown in along with a multimedia Bond movie trailer ( duration of nearly 2 mins ). Singer Rita Coolidge opens and closes the album with a memorable Bond theme song but you do feel that Barry is going through the 'slow' motions with this soundtrack which includes James Bond Theme moments.

As always a must for any 007 fan, the excellent foldout allows a choice of front CD album covers as seen left. It was good to see the Bond music collection being released in this interesting '97 format. It's was a shame not a bit more music ( extra tracks ) was included like the other 'Deluxes'- FYEO & TLD.
