Music recorded at Air Studios, London
Recording engineer: Geoffrey Emerick
Just a point of clarification, Bill Price engineered the song and score—and what a fine job he did!

but I have the 2002 expanded FSM produced CD of Live and Let Die which is not too different from this version. Don't get me wrong, the score is fantastic but I just can't justify spending $38.00 including shipping to buy it.
.
to finally have the gunbarrel at the beginning and the chronological order of the whole expanded score is VERY welcome
Well, some of us have audio editing software where we have created our own versions. I placed the Gunbarrel and into New York City music first, segued into Just A Closer Walk With Thee and New Second Line but I cut it exactly as it is in the film and right to the Voodoo ceremony called Snakebit. As soon as the last note begins to fade I brought in the title song, exactly as it was in the film.
Don't get me wrong, I think anyone who never bought the 2002 version should get this one. I just wish I had that alternate Boat Chase Pt. 1 cue with the chicken coupe music. George Martin must have tried to add more music and a comedic theme for the part when JW Pepper yelled at the old man "Did you ever thought about getting a driver's license, boy" just prior to smashing up.
I do hope the next OO7 release is the 50th anniversary of The Man with the Golden Gun and the 45th anniversary of Moonraker.

Excellent work by LaLaLand. Bond soundtracks never disappoint.

Bond is not archeology.
Nobody comes close to 007 !!!
More expanded 007’s, please !
Lol, these haven't even shipped yet and you are already nagging for more?

These two ordered already, so I'm waiting for more. I can order them all at once if they would come out. Always.

It's also David Arnold's favourite non-Barry Bond score, he mentioned this a few times.

LIVE AND LET DIE is far and away the best 007 score not by John Barry, partly because George Martin was clearly channeling Barry's sound, but whilst putting a fresh 1973 edge on it too.
It was preordered immediately, of course.
The 2003 edition was great, but it's even better to get the film score version and album version separately rather than the CD having to be a fudged mix of both.

I'm not sure it's so "far and away" clear, especially since anyone could say exactly the same thing about David Arnold "clearly channeling Barry's sound, whilst putting a fresh 90s/2000s edge on it too". To my ears Arnold more often channeled Barry than Martin did, and I say that as a sincere admirer of Martin's work.

Agreed on that!

It is to me, although I recognise I can only speak for myself.
I'm afraid I find the later films horribly over-scored.

Well fair enough, but I think that's just the 90s aesthetic Stephen. 
I did think Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace were better and more conservatively spotted than the three Arnold efforts for Brosnan, as fun as those were.
