AVTAK has always been one my favourite Bond scores; I've always prefrered the later to the early onse (FROM RUSSIA never leaves the shelf).

"I'm a huge fan of this John Barry score. I am really enjoying the remastered version of the score as well.
I would really like to get the remainder of the score there is some excellent music that was left off originally when it was done.
Namely when Bond is being pursued by Zorin's men on horse.
The fight at Stacy's when there is a hint of the Thunderball score heard in the background. Oh man!!
Lastly, the cue playing while Bond is hanging on the ropes of the blimp, near the end of the film.
Some outstanding material that is being overlooked on cd.
Hopefully now that Sony owns MGM this oversight on all of the Roger Moore Bond scores will be corrected. Golden Gun, Moonraker, Octopussy, & A View To A Kill are outstanding scores and deserve to be expanded."
I suppose I may have tomatoes thrown at me for resurrecting a post from 2004. But I thought better to do that than create a new one. I have been wondering the past few years why there has never been an expanded release of A View To A Kill. The current score is about 38 minutes of music from a 2 hour, 12 minute film. I know some people do not like this film, but it has always been one of my favorites. Great cast- Roger Moore, Christopher Walken, Tanya Roberts, Grace Jones, Patrick Macnee... I always thought the soundtrack was exciting and I enjoy all the variations on the theme by John Barry. Does anyone have information on if there are any legal issues preventing an expansion or maybe the masters were lost? I just find it strange that The Living Daylights (also a great score) was released three times, I believe and expanded with 9 additional tracks but A View To A Kill is still in it's 1985 form.

Great question!!! From what I can gather based on the recent Moonraker re recording news Eon is unable or unwilling to green light a project to have a View to a kill and the other roger Moore bond soundtracks expanded. It's such a shame.
Hopefully things will change in the future. View, tmwtgg, spy, octopussy and even ltk all deserve to be expanded by a respected soundtrack label like la la land records.
