Superb releases. YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE is my favorite.
I remember saving up my allowance and money from a part-time job to buy them when I was 13. A worthwhile investment, as I still listen to them often.

John Barry's music is why I started collecting soundtracks in the first place. His Bond scores for the Sean Connery era films are quite simply some of the most inventive and entertaining film scores ever composed. Barry understood the art of spotting the film and of composing over arching themes to emphasise the local colour, the attitude of the characters and the action. As a kid, hearing that music was the reason you wanted to get to see the Bond films. The scores are brilliantly commercial.
While the 2003 remasters and expansions were terrific additions to the Barry/Bond music canon, it is a shame that Barry hasn't received his due for creating the modern spy sound (think also Ipcress File and the Quiller Memorandum) and that, in comparison to other film series, such as Star Trek and Superman, the Bond scores have simply not received a definitive release. Hopefully, one day that will happen. Until then, I will cherish the 2003 remasters and expansions and the 1992, 30th Anniversary two CD set. Between them, I have used them to complete my own, somewhat clumsy edits of the scores, making them as extensive as possible.
My Grail dream is that Lukas, Doug or MV is working to convince Eon and its partners that the scores are all worth releasing in as complete a form as possible by the time of the series 60th anniversary in 2022. Hopefully, I'll still be around to see it!

I started my soundtrack collection with these releases! I remember in High School rather than use my lunch money for food, I would save it up so at the end of the week I would have enough money to buy another James Bond score at Barnes and Noble. The one by me was carrying almost every single Lukas Kendall Remaster/Expansion, it was nuts! My Dad finally found out what I was up to when I had to ask him to buy me the GoldenEye one online because they didn't have it. But he was so impressed by my discipline to make sure I only spent the money on my soundtracks, he bought it for me!

As for your first point, I think that Barry is very much acknowledged for creating the spy sound.
As to the second point, how would you create more definitive releases of some or all of these scores?
I think what he means is more unreleased material. While I don't always subscribe to this theory, for a lot of the Roger Moore Bond films and GoldenEye, I definitely do. In particular, I want the Tank Chase cue from GoldenEye by John Altman. Such a strong and great piece. I thought I read Lukas wanted to expand GoldenEye, but rights issues prevented him from doing so.

Onya,
I think that Barry is acknowledged by a minority of individuals with specialist knowledge as having created the spy sound. He doesn't typically receive the universal acclaim that Williams has received for his symphonic sound for Star Wars. In fact, there are some individuals who would even deny that Barry created the principal theme of that spy sound. I know what I believe in that regard.
The answer to your question was really implicit in my original comment: we have seen the Star Trek, Superman and other film series scores receive definitive releases over the years. It would be wonderful to see the Bond scores receive similar treatment with a definitive Bond Box. Just among my favourites, I can think of From Russia with Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, OHMSS, and Diamonds are Forever, where I would like to see a chronological presentation of the music, as it appeared in the film, along with the various alternate takes and songs that were or were not used. Michael Kamen's score for Licence to Kill deserves a much better presentation; as for the title song, the film edit minus the "kilt" deserves a release and it would be terrific to see if the Eric Clapton and Vic Flick sessions for the Bond Theme could be released.
I would like to see a better edit of Live and Let Die, ditto FYEO and the Living Daylights; a more comprehensive Man with the Golden Gun, ditto Moonraker, Octopussy, AVTAK; there are tracks from the David Arnold scores that deserve a release - Tomorrow Never Dies and the World is Not Enough. Then there are the scores I haven't mentioned. Even Monty Norman's music for Dr. No deserves a better edited and annotated release.
I suppose what I'm suggesting is more comprehensive and tidier releases than what has been done so far. I think that as a set or, indeed, individually they would sell well.
Best,
Stan

This is how I like to listen to the cd's programming them in that order. I have the track numbers all listed down somewhere for the expanded play discs.

For anybody who wants the laborious task of programming their bond expanded cd's to play in the order they are heard in the films, well they are listed below (Barry OST's) only, unless there were others?
Another 007 aficionado listed them for me years ago when they first came out, so if they are wrong, blame him!
THUNDERBALL= 13, 2, 1, 3, 4, 5, 14, 7, 6, 9, 10, 11, 15, 8, 16, 17, 12, 18
YOLT = 2, 1, 13, 14, 5, 3, 15, 16, 17, 18, 6, 8, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 4, 19
OHMSS = 2, 6, 3, 12, 13, 1, 14, 7, 8, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 5, 4, 9, 10, 21, 11
DAF = 13, 1, 14, 6, 9, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 4, 20, 3, 5, 8, 2, 11, 10, 12, 7, 21
L DAYLIGHTS = 13, 1, 3, 6, 2, 7, 14, 5, 4, 15, 16, 17, 10, 18, 9, 11, 19, 20, 12, 8, 21
Hope someone finds em useful ?

Regarding OHMSS, I believe track 11 to be a combination of two cues, namely the barn proposal scene (before the "Ski Chase" track) and the end credits. The actual pre- end credits track as heard in the film is either unreleased or editorially created from something else. Nonetheless, I find the suggested placement better than the strictly chronological one in this case, and therefore my own (otherwise chronological) edit doesn't split up the track.

You have Tanaka's World (4) listed after the End Title (12).

I can only guess possibly it was to break up the 2 end title versions??
