If anyone ever asks why don't you labels let us customers know what you have coming out in advance you can forever point to Octopussy and the debacle we are currently in.

When both projects were finally approved for manufacturing last Fall we thought hey, wouldn't it be cool to do a special Xmas announcement AFTER the Black Friday madness on 2 titles that will be in stock and ready to ship first part of January? What we didn't expect is that in the one week between LALD being approved and Octopussy UMG changed their internal process for manufacturing for 3rd parties like us. The holidays hit, people were on vacation, so when they got back and started catching up on things it was discovered that Octopussy was never put through their internal process. Literally a jaw dropping wtf moment for us. So here we are Feb 3 still waiting on the final product to be delivered. To expedite matters we have asked umg to deliver the cds on spindles and get them to us asap so we can personally drive them down to our manufacture and have them packed up, and given back to us to start sending out.

If UMG kept to their word, the spindles shipped out on Friday and we should have them some time this week. If all goes well we will have final product shortly before Valentine's Day. We will START shipping out then. We will be the only place on the planet that will have this product. All other vendors will have to wait until the 2nd and 3rd batches come in which will most likely be late March

In the meantime, those Scarface LPs should be arriving in late February so we will be sending those out then.

TREK TOS VOL 4 arrives mid February

We had to delay some projects now because of this debacle and hope to be back on track with everything in MARCH

Fingers cross Bond makes his way to us shortly

Thanks for keeping everyone updated MV. That sounds like a massive pain in the arse and I'm sorry you're having to sort it out.

Thanks so much MV & team for the update & thank you so much for what you are doing with the Bond Expanded releases for the James Bond Music community it’s simply amazing.

I 100% know the out of control delay from your end will be so worth the few more weeks wait

No CDs= No sale!

Just trying to lighten the mood.

No problem.

The fact that LLL is releasing Octopussy and Live and let die remastered and expanded is cause for celebration and patience.

If you decided to announce any other Bond score now and I would have to wait a year I would still applaud you with all my heart.

Take your time.

And THIS is why I stick to downloads. No faffing about waiting for manufacturers etc. You just can't trust physical media. Even when it gets released it goes OOP.

No MP3 = no sale.

I’m just happy to know that it’s being released. I’m happy to wait. It’ll come when it comes. smile

In the meantime, plenty of miracle CD releases to enjoy which 20 years ago I’d never thought I’d ever have.

Absolutely this.

LLL are bringing us miracles on a fairly regular basis, and these things can be tough to pull off.

I'd like to express my gratitude to LLL for their work, and look forward to listening to this score when they are able to get it to me.

Eternally grateful for all that LLL has done for us over the years! Everyone keep their heads up. We’ll have those Bond expansions in hand eventually and they will be worth the wait.

TREK TOS VOL 4 arrives mid February

This was all I read. razz wink Preordered. Can't wait to get it!

Seriously, thanks for the update. It's too bad there are fans who give licensees such a hard time. I'm presuming they're in the minority. Appreciate your post and what you do for our film score lovin' community.

Thank you MV for such update and transparency. Very professional of yours as usual.

So now we know that, for instance, french Music Box retailer can't deliver before mid or end march, so there is no need to bother them with any earlier complain in between.

Some delay in delivery to final customers has never been a problem for me as a collector, provided there is no cancellation. This thing remains a hobby - an expensive one allright - not a life and death issue. The same goes for the Jeff Bond awaited twin Goldsmith book: it will take the time it needs for delivery, that's all. Period.

The problem is mostly for Lalaland people themselves and professional retailers who have to deal with all the complains and must explain the delays to their customers (at least those who weren't already aware of the problem since they do not surf here).

We can be very fortunate in the first place that these unexpected Bond releases haven't been cancelled at the last minute by some powers that be...
