Quartet Records and MGM present the re-issue of the first official complete vinyl edition of Burt Bacharach's timeless classic soundtrack for the 1967 James Bond spoof CASINO ROYALE, this time in blue and orange colored vinyl!
The infectious main theme performed by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass is just the starting point of an epic comedy ride that includes such highlights as the unforgettable "The Look of Love," sung by Dusty Springfield, or the epic fight music at the end of the film. Produced by record industry legend Phil Ramone, the original soundtrack LP offered selected highlights, expertly edited to showcase the best parts of the entire score. Thanks to the legendary sound quality of the stereo copies, this record became one of the most highly sought-after collectibles in the industry.
This straight re-issue of our 2019 vinyl edition was produced, restored and mastered by Chris Malone, rebuilding the score from the ground up. The soundtrack album has long been considered a cornerstone of an audiophile's collection. Lauded by The Absolute Sound, the original Colgems release continues to remain in pole position as the best sounding "popular" LP vinyl disc of all time.
Malone's work was focused on addressing unintended technical anomalies (such as filling dropouts and covering analogue splices) rather than broadly applying a modern sound palette. He has eschewed dynamic range compression and retained the brilliance of the original recording. The first LP is a fully remastered reissue of the iconic original stereo vinyl, playing in all its splendor. The second LP contains all the unreleased material, in mono, which are still the only available source to date.
This special 2XLP is a limited edition pressed on 180-gram blue and orange vinyl, all of it housed in a gatefold jacket, retaining the iconic original cover art by Robert McGinnis. The package includes liner notes by Jeff Bond, with a separate insert with a tech-talk by Chris Malone.
バート・バカラックの不朽の名盤サウンドトラック「００７／カジノ・ロワイヤル」（1967年公開のジェームズ・ボンド・パロディ作品）初の公式完全盤ヴァイナル再発盤。今回はブルー＆オレンジのカラーヴァイナルで登場！
トラックリストハーブ・アルパート＆ティファナ・ブラスによる中毒性のあるメインテーマは、ダスティ・スプリングフィールドが歌う忘れがたい「ザ・ルック・オブ・ラヴ」や、映画の終盤を飾る壮大な戦闘音楽など、数々の見どころを含む壮大なコメディの旅の始まりに過ぎない。レコード業界のレジェンド、フィル・ラモーンがプロデュースしたオリジナル・サウンドトラックLPは、全楽曲の最高峰を厳選し、見事に編集されたハイライト集であった。ステレオ盤の伝説的な音質により、このレコードは業界で最も入手困難なコレクターズアイテムの一つとなった。
2019年盤の完全復刻となる本作は、クリス・マローンによる制作・修復・マスタリングを経て、スコアを根本から再構築。長らくオーディオファン必携のコレクション基盤と評されてきた。『ザ・アブソリュート・サウンド』誌も称賛したオリジナル・コルジェムズ盤は、今なお史上最高の音質を誇る「ポピュラー」LPレコードの頂点に君臨し続けている。
マローン氏の作業は、現代的なサウンドパレットを広く適用するのではなく、意図しない技術的異常（ドロップアウトの補填やアナログ・スプライスの処理など）に対処することに重点を置きました。彼はダイナミックレンジ圧縮を避け、オリジナル録音の輝きを保持しています。第1枚目のLPは、象徴的なオリジナル・ステレオ・ヴァイナルを完全リマスターした再発盤であり、その全盛期の輝きを再現しています。２枚目には未発表音源をモノラルで収録。これらは現在も唯一入手可能な音源である。
この特別仕様2枚組LPは限定盤。180gのブルーとオレンジのヴァイナルにプレスされ、ロバート・マクギニスの象徴的なオリジナル・カバーアートを再現したゲートフォールド・ジャケットに収められている。パッケージにはジェフ・ボンドによるライナーノーツに加え、クリス・マローンによる技術解説を別冊で同梱。
限定500枚。
