La-La Land Records, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, EON Productions and Universal Music Enterprises mark the 45th Anniversary of the eleventh 007 film Moonraker, with a remastered and expanded 2-CD re-issue of composer John Barry's original motion picture score. The 1979 film stars Roger Moore as James Bond in his fourth turn as 007 and is produced by Albert R. Broccoli and directed by Lewis Gilbert.

Oscar winning composer John Barry continues to bring his creative mastery to the Bond franchise with a thrilling, often romantic score that not only takes 007 around the world... but propels him into outer space. Shirley Bassey returns for her third Bond title song featuring lyrics by Hal David. Expanded beyond previous soundtrack editions and with highly enhanced audio quality, Moonraker blasts off like never before within this deluxe presentation.

Produced by Neil S. Bulk, remixed by Mike Matessino from high-resolution digital transfers of 2''tapes provided by MGM, and mastered by Doug Schwartz, this is a special 2-CD release, limited to only 5,000 units. Disc One presents the score in chronological order and features music never before available, followed by source music recorded for the film and additional versions of score cues. Disc 2 presents the original 1979 soundtrack album, newly assembled for this release, followed by alternate versions of the title song, including two early versions with lyrics and vocals by Oscar and GRAMMY winner Paul Williams. The exclusive, new liner notes are by film music journalist and author Jon Burlingame and art direction is by Dan Goldwasser.
