To Mike J, You asked a reasonable question but the problem with answering it is you're asking people to rationally justify love for something. It doesn't work that way. Your inability to understand why I like John Barry's music is equal to my inability to understand why you do not. What kind of an answer could anyone give? My rationale would be no more of a real rationale than yours. You'd be no more convinced of mine than I'd be of yours. Sometimes I think people just have to shrug shoulders at their inability to share the same feelings about something and this is probably one of those times. I will make you a promise though: when something is proposed that you like, I won't condescend on everyone who's pleased, insult them and act like the superior arbiter of what people should like.

£4531 at the end of day 1 (UK time). A fantastic effort but still a long way to go. Clearly we won't have as much pledged every day but hopefully we can gradually reach our goal. Thanks to everybody who's pledged

Thor wrote: I don't mean to piss on your campaign, James (all the best of luck to you!), but THIS you want 'kickstarted' -- despite it having numerous soundtrack versions already -- while my suggestion of recording Williams' STORY OF A WOMAN/STORIA DI UNA DONNA -- a superior score that has never seen the light of day, nor will it ever -- was completely uninteresting to you? Let's actually look at Thor's points here. 1) "... numerous soundtrack versions already ..." Not sure what you mean here. Although Moonraker has been released several times, there's never been, as far as I'm aware, any change to the content. Indeed, one of the arguments used in support of this project is that this score did NOT get an expanded release while several other Bond scores did. 2) "... Williams' STORY OF A WOMAN/STORIA DI UNA DONNA ..." How many people have heard OF this, let alone actually heard it? And this is precisely the question that James Fitz has to ask for every project he considers. Moonraker is a well-known and popular score, and he can judge the demand for a re-recording from, among other things, the persistent requests on this forum. Story of a Woman, on the other hand, is William's only foreign film, and is the ONLY feature film scored him not to have its own page on the English-language version of Wikipedia. 3) "... completely uninteresting to you ..." James Fitz is in business. That means that what he does is not necessarily what he WANTS to do. Rather, it's what he can AFFORD to do. He's clearly concluded that there's enough demand for an expanded Moonraker. Given that he hasn't announced Story of a Woman, I can only presume that he doesn't think there's enough demand for it. It does NOT mean that he doesn't want to do it. It just means that he doesn't think he can afford to do it.

Yeah, and after those are fixed (and perhaps more incentives/pledge levels added?) maybe this can be tweeted out to some important people who could retweet it to their followers, which recently happened for Intrada's complete Last Starfighter. Maybe sites like AICN could also help promote this? Yavar

20% of the funding promised after one day. Sure, who knows if the pledges will keep coming in, but it's certainly off to a good start. Indeed. Great start. I'm sure most Kickstarter campaigners would give anything to have 20% of their campaign funded in a day! It's nice to see that this campaign is being supported. Nic Raine and The City of Prague Orchestra did excellent work with the MOONRAKER music for the 4-CD "James Bond Collection" set.
