MOONRAKER (2LP Operation Orchid Variant)

La-La Land Records, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Universal Music Enterprises proudly present a remastered and expanded limited edition vinyl LP re-issue of composer John Barry's original motion picture score to MOONRAKER. The 1979 film stars Roger Moore as James Bond in his fourth turn as 007 and is produced by Albert R. Broccoli and directed by Lewis Gilbert.

Oscar® winning composer John Barry continues to bring his creative mastery to the Bond franchise with a thrilling, often romantic score that not only takes 007 around the world… but propels him into outer space.  Shirley Bassey returns for her third Bond title song featuring lyrics by Hal David.

Produced by Neil S. Bulk, remixed by Mike Matessino from high-resolution digital transfers of 2” tapes provided by MGM, and mastered by Doug Schwartz, Moonraker blasts off like never before! This remastered 2XLP score presentation, pressed on 180 Gram colored vinyl, also contains additional music, including an early version of the title song with lyrics and vocals by Oscar® and GRAMMY® winner Paul Williams.

The handsome gatefold jacket includes an 8-page booklet featuring liner notes by renowned journalist and author Jon Burlingame and sharp art design by Jim Titus.
