Summary
We're on our way to Thailand on this week's episode of The Music of Bond. Oh yes, it's time to get your golden guns out!
After John Barry's break from the world of 007, he's back with a vengeance for Sir Roger Moore's second Bond outing. As a film it's often criticised among Bond's critics, but what of the score?
Tune in for discussion on the history of the music, a look behind the scenes and as usual a track by track discussion of the original soundtrack release.
*Due to a technical glitch during recording we lost Chris' audio for the last part of today's episode. So if you were wondering why he didn't say much towards the end of the episode, now you know :-)
