Title: Worth getting even in this butchered edition
Product review: Long story short: A proper edition of this soundtrack has never been released and - due to the colossal philistinism of MGM - probably never will be. If you're lucky (and know where to look), you may be able to download an "expanded score". But one way or another, you should hear what some, including myself, consider the best of Barry's work for the Bond franchise.The title song is the loveliest of the series. "The Cable Car" is as stark a confrontation with Fate as, say, the end of "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly". And "The Flight Into Space" is an overwhelming combination of wonder, grandeur, and doom. It's worthy of Don Giovanni being dragged down to Hell.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
