Well the 50th year of bond has come and gone , sky fall was fantastic but what else did we get ? Music wise a double cd of stuff everyone all ready has, to be honest what a bunch of crap , ,unreleased music -lost tapes - its bollocks -its not lost its sat on a shelf -dr no -frwl-gold finger -plus all the un expanded soundtracks all sat on a shelf -so its about time it all became available -the dr no score not monty normans **** the proper score its on a shelf somewhere lets have it on cd !

It didn't happen, and sadly I think that someone decided that yet another compilation (cheap and easily marketable) was the way to go in preference to digging out old tapes and mastering them for release (expensive and limited market).
An example would be the 2003 reissue of the TB album. There are still a few unreleased pieces of music from the score, but including them would have required a double album release. This was not allowed. The cues wouldn't have been very long, but the extra room could have been taken up with the two vocal versions of MKBB (had record company politics not prohibited that) plus alternates (such as "Bond Meets Domino").
I agree, and certainly think they should!
Don't know about UK and other parts of the world, but vinyl has been resurging here in US and apparently re-issues and prestige releases by White Stripes, Radiohead, are selling in the millions of units again, and there's a nifty Bond like turntable in a suitcase, carry around unit, that is popular, especially with 20-30 somethings who are rediscovering this stuff. And they like to see young Sean on LP covers with girls just like the old days.
