My friend, @woollers.bsky.social, wrote this lovely post about the 2026 recording of The IPCRESS File on LP from @quartetrecords.bsky.social. It’s an example of how changes are made to an assembly to suit the vinyl listening experience. stephenwoolston.substack.com/p/a-breakdow...

I really like this release! Sometimes Maurice Jarre music doesn’t connect with me, but this score is great! Accessible, interesting, thematic. Uncluttered and uncrowded. My kind of Jarre! @quartetrecords.bsky.social #MauriceJarre #soundtrack

Do you like the soundtrack albums La-La Land Records, Intrada, Quartet and Varese Sarabande release? Do you like to support the people who work to get this music released? If so, please buy the albums and do not be the guy on a public forum asking for it to be uploaded to YouTube.

Person on the JWFan music forum asking for the "Spectre" soundtrack album, which I produced for La-La Land Records, to be uploaded to YouTube.

John Barry's score to the seventh James Bond film "Diamonds Are Forever" has been newly edited, mixed and mastered and is available now on CD from @lalalandrecords.bsky.social lalalandrecords.com/diamonds-are...

La-La Land Records, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Universal Music Enterprises proudly present the 55th anniversary remastered and expanded 2-CD re-issue of renowned composer John Barry’s original motion picture score to the seventh James Bond film, DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER. Produced by Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, the 1971 film stars Sean Connery, after a one picture absence, as James Bond 007 and is directed by Guy Hamilton, returning for his second film in the series.
Composer John Barry continues on his mission of creating classic Bond music, unleashing another epic orchestral wonder, pulsating with thematic motifs, and swirling all the film’s thundering action, spycraft and sensuous romance into an intoxicating, exhilarating knockout of a score. Included within this 2-CD set is the iconic title song “Diamonds Are Forever” by Barry and lyricist Don Black performed by Shirley Bassey in English and Italian! Expanded beyond previous soundtrack editions, DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER sparkles like never before within this deluxe presentation.
Produced by Neil S. Bulk, mixed by Chris Malone and mastered by Doug Schwartz, the release has been sourced from the original 1" 8-track analog scoring masters. The "Score Presentation" reflects the takes and sequencing used for the film, while the "Original Soundtrack Album" has been newly edited and replicates the takes, edits and sequencing of the 1971 soundtrack. Alternate versions and additional source cues round out the package.
Featuring sharp art direction by Dan Goldwasser, with a new front cover designed by Jim Titus, the release also includes exclusive, in-depth liner notes by journalist and author Jon Burlingame. Limited to 5000 units this release is not expected to be around... forever.
