Remastered/re-sequenced GOLDFINGER and Final STAR TREK

La-La Land Records, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, EON Productions and Universal Music Enterprises proudly commemorate the 60th Anniversary of 007 film GOLDFINGER, with a remastered and re-sequenced CD re-issue of composer John Barry’s original motion picture score.  The 1964 film stars Sean Connery as James Bond in his third turn as 007 and is directed by Guy Hamilton.

The bold GOLDFINGER orchestral score defined the mood and style of the entire series. The historic title song, sung by Shirley Bassey, packs a sonic punch that still hits as strongly today as it did six decades ago. Thrilling, dramatic, romantic, suspenseful, exhilarating – John Barry’s GOLDFINGER has it all!

Produced by Neil S. Bulk, restored by Chris Malone and mastered by Doug Schwartz, this remastered CD release re-sequences the original album tracks into film order for the first time and includes additional material, including a mono mix of the title song that offers a different vocal performance by Shirley Bassey.

This special release is limited to 5000 units with new, exclusive liner notes by journalist and author Jon Burlingame and art design by Dan Goldwasser.

90 DAY EXCLUSIVE! For the first 90 days of its release, this title can only be purchased EXCLUSIVELY at www.lalalandrecords.com or at www.007Store.com
