Goldfinger in on today at 5pm Pacific on BBC America.
Gold? All over?
I have the expanded, remastered soundtrack of LALD, at times George Martin is almost as good as John Barry, much better than Dave Arnold, although George Martin did not write the theme.
I think the OST to “The Man With The Golden Gun” is good, but I wish we could get an expaned version of that, and an expanded version of “A View To A Kill”.
I have 12 hours and ten minutes worth of soundtrack music from the James Bond movies. I also have the full OST from Barry’s “Somewhere in Time”.
Gorgeous!
