Press Release from La-La Land:
La-La Land Records, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Universal Music Enterprises proudly present the 10th anniversary remastered and expanded 2-CD re-issue of renowned composer Thomas Newman’s original motion picture score to the James Bond film, Spectre. Produced by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, the 2015 film stars Daniel Craig in his fourth turn as James Bond 007 and is directed by Sam Mendes, returning for his second film in the series.
Noting his brilliant work on SKYFALL, it’s no surprise Thomas Newman (THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, SKYFALL) was recruited for another epic Bond mission, and he delivers above and beyond – scoring Spectre with a rich orchestral depth that mines fresh, emotional dimensions of drama, suspense, action and mystery, all the while honoring the classic Bond music traditions. Expanded with never before released music, this is a revelatory presentation of Newman’s expertly crafted score. Included as well, is Sam Smith's powerful Oscar-winning song, "Writing's On The Wall."
Produced by Neil S. Bulk and mastered by Doug Schwartz from Simon Rhodes's original 24-bit digital stereo mixes, this is a special 2-CD release, limited to only 5,000 units. The two hour "Score Presentation" presents the music in chronological film sequence while the "Additional Music" section showcases unique Original Soundtrack Album edits as well as an alternate cue and a source cue.
Featuring sharp art direction by Dan Goldwasser the release also includes exclusive, in-depth liner notes by journalist and author Jon Burlingame.
