Listening to the expanded "Thunderball" at work, I realized how the two halves - the album and the extras - really work well on their own as two individual albums.
You're welcome!

Unlike these ungrateful knaves, I give thanks EVERY NIGHT ,before going to bed, that LK aka "Lord Lukas" was the person given the assignment of expanding Bond!!!
I created two Thunderball playlists, with some additions, and here is what I did.
The first playlist is the album, except I add Dionne Warwick's version of "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" between side 1 and 2.
For the second playlist, I used the extras roughly in the order that are in on the CD. In addition, I open the program with Roland Shaw's (definitive instrumental) version of "Thunderball," and I place Shirley Bassey's version of "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" midway through.
What about i-Tunes? - like what they did with Casino Royale? Couldn't they license additional tracks?
And while i'm at it, i did my own version (i'm sure as many did) back in 2005 from the xpanded cd and the 5. 1 track from the special edition dvd (without the center channel there's only faint dialogue and few fx) and then a few bits of dialogue for the narrative and it runs for about 107 minutes...

# contains dialogue or vocals // a few of the titles names are my own obv :-)
Is anyone able to pick out which of these tracks are not available on the expanded CD.
Everything (se) was ripped from the old Special Edition DVD because i couldn't find it on the CD then and i didn't wanna use any rerecordings. I never upgraded this when the Ultimate Edition or the Blu-Ray was released. Actually i included some selected dialogue because it nicely segued into the start of the music and this worked very well with the following Bonds too...
41 3.04 # Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (Dionne Warwick).mp3 42 3.13 ~ Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (Instrumental of 41).mp3 43 2.28 # Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (Shirley Bassey).mp3 44 2.35 ~ Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (Alternate Instrumental).mp3
Why would anyone put all four of these in a row? Why not spread them out over the program?

Like i said, assembly! It's all there was (at the time) and since these are not part of the movie itself...
