About this listen

S03E005: In this episode of The 007 Files, Bill Koenig is joined by Javi Trujillo and David Leigh for a wide-ranging conversation with soundtrack producer Neil S. Bulk about La-La Land Records’ expanded 60th anniversary edition of Thunderball.

Neil shares his passion for the project - and for the film! - as we explore the challenges of restoring classic Bond soundtracks, the discovery of new material, and the collaboration with MGM that made this release possible. Along the way we discuss the historical context of Thunderball’s score, John Barry’s versatility, alternate versions and mixes, the fate of the Thunderball suite, and the many faces of Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

We also weigh up the film’s legacy, its place in the Bond music hierarchy, and even touch on the end of Danjaq.Thunderball: 60th Anniversary Remastered and Expanded Limited Edition (2-CD Set) is available from La-La Land Records.
