I review this expanded dream release of John Barry’s Octopussy score from La La Land Records. This set is an entirely new hires transfer of the best surviving master elements resulting in never before heard sound quality. It is amazing to finally hear the score outside of the original 1983 LP program and this set includes unused material that will make all Bond fans ecstatic. This will make anyone hear the score with completely fresh ears while gaining a newfound appreciation for Barry’s score.
I also compare this new release with the 1983 LP, 7” single and 2003 CD releases.
