While undoubtedly very silly, Moonraker still has its attractions: “He’s attempting re-entry, sir”, Holly Goodhead, Ken Adam’s amazing production design and John Barry’s brilliant music. Incredibly, it was the highest-grossing Bond movie until Goldeneye, and when adjusted for inflation it took in more money than any of the remaining Moore films, either of the Dalton ones and any of the Brosnan ones. The score has been the stuff of legend: the unusually short original album (just a shade over half an hour long) was brilliantly-produced, but as the initial set of Bond soundtrack expansions came and went without it being included and then Chinese whispers led seemingly everyone to believe that the recordings of the score (made in Paris) had been lost, the chances of an expansion seemed to ebb away as the years went by. Even a re-recording project was abandoned after Eon threw a spanner in the works. But now, finally, we have one in our hands – a magnificent new album from La-La Land Records.
