Barry returns to aid 007's trip into Outer Space with much 'choir' type music to aid the action. It's not J B at his best with Shirley Bassey providing her vocals for the third time following Goldfinger & Diamonds ... On this album Miss Bassey, who I believe wasn't the first choice singer, provides a slow opening & ( slightly better ) up tempo ending versions of the theme song.
As this album with just 10 tracks lasting just over half an hour plods along until one can't wait for the ending. The composer even throws in his old 007 tune for the ... Boat Chase ( Track 7 ). May satisfy some sci-fi music fans but not this Bond fan. Alas Moonraker will remain one of the less played Bond soundtracks in your collection.
