La-La Land Records and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer proudly present a remastered and expanded 2-CD re-issue of composer Michel Legrand’s original motion picture score to NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN. The 1983 film stars Sean Connery as James Bond 007 and is directed by Irvin Kershner (THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, ROBOCOP 2).
The world was excited for the return of Sean Connery in his signature role. However, as NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN, a remake of THUNDERBALL, was produced outside of the official film series it would mean iconic themes associated with the character could not return and all-new, original music would be required. Composer Michel Legrand (THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR, THE THREE MUSKETEERS, YENTL) accepted this mission, crafting a dynamic and stylistically varied, jazz-infused musicscape that finally gets a deluxe showcase within this expanded and remastered 2-CD presentation.
Produced by Neil S. Bulk and mastered by Doug Schwartz from a variety of stereo sources, Disc 1 presents the score in expanded form debuting music not available on prior releases. Disc 2 opens with the original soundtrack album featuring newly translated track titles. In a puzzling move, at the time of the film's release, this soundtrack was available only as a Japanese LP while in the US, a 7" 45 was issued with the Lani Hall title song on one side and an exclusive instrumental of "Une Chanson d'Amour" on the other. This latter single opens the "Additional Music" section.
Limited to only 5,000 units, the album has sharp art direction by Dan Goldwasser with a new front cover designed by Jim Titus. Rounding out the release are new and exclusive, in-depth liner notes by journalist and "The Music of James Bond" author Jon Burlingame.

ショーン・コネリーがジェームズ・ボンド007を演じた、1983年の映画『ネバーセイ・ネバーアゲイン』のオリジナル・サウンドトラックが、リマスターおよび収録曲を増補した2枚組CDとしてリリース！音楽は作曲家ミシェル・ルグラン。監督はアーヴィン・カーシュナー（『帝国の逆襲』、『ロボコップ2』）。
トラックリストショーン・コネリーが彼の代名詞とも言える役柄に復帰することに対し、世界中が熱狂しました。しかし、『ネバーセイ・ネバーアゲインン』は『007/サンダーボール作戦』のリメイク作品でありながら、公式な映画シリーズの外で製作されたため、このキャラクターにまつわる象徴的なテーマ曲は復活させることができず、まったく新しいオリジナル楽曲が必要とされました。作曲家のミシェル・ルグラン（『華麗なる賭け』、『三銃士』、『イェントル』）がこの使命を引き受け、ダイナミックで様式的に多様性に富み、ジャズの要素を取り入れた音楽世界を創り上げました。その音楽は、この拡張・リマスターされた2枚組CDセットにおいて、ついに豪華な形でリリースされることになりました。
ニール・S・バルクがプロデュースし、ダグ・シュワルツが様々なステレオ音源をもとにマスタリングを行ったディスク1には、これまでのリリースには収録されていなかった楽曲を初収録した、エクスパンデッド版のサウンドトラックが収録されています。ディスク2は、トラックタイトルが新たに書き換えられたオリジナル・サウンドトラック・アルバムで幕を開けます。不可解なことに、映画公開当時、このサウンドトラックは日本でLPとしてのみ発売されたのに対し、米国では片面にラニ・ホールによる主題歌、もう片面に「Une Chanson d'Amour」の限定インストゥルメンタルを収録した7インチ45回転シングルがリリースされました。このシングルは、本作の「追加楽曲」セクションの冒頭を飾っています。
