Title: James Bond Re-Recorded
Product review: Of all the James Bond soundtracks issued,"The Spy Who Loved Me" is on the bottom of my list. I am not saying that the score heard in the film was bad. I am saying that this is not the score I heard in the film. I am not sure what it is. It is reminiscent of soundtracks issued during the 1950s where composers rearranged their film scores for commercial record albums.Composer, Marvin Hamlisch recorded the music in the film very well and seemed to be quite intuitive on what was required for different scenes. I believe that composers writing a Bond score are given great liberty to call upon previous musical cues from earlier entries in the series and write them into the score. It is very possible that Hamlisch was permitted to include only his original compositions for this album.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
