Enter Roger Moore as the new 007 and with him a fresh new soundtrack from Beatle arranger George Martin. One of my most played Bond LP/CDs as Martin's excellent score was over-shadowed at the time by Paul & Linda McCartney's exciting title tune.
When you play the tracks Martin's music interprets the action from the movie ( e.g. Bond Drops In for the hang glider scene ). He introduces a re-vamped and improved James Bond Theme for Moore which is only used in the film for the New York taxi drive to Harlem. At a night-club we see a Bassey look-a-like singer, BJ Arnau who belts out a 'raunchy' version of McCartney's title tune.
Live And Let Die is one of the best non-Barry/Bond soundtracks, both deserved later knighthoods for service to the music industry - so arise Sir George & Sir Paul.
