From the Archives: Live And Let Die (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Recommended music:

Today, from the Bond on Vinyl archives, we’re listening to the next James Bond film, Live And Let Die!

Roger Moore’s debut was probably my favorite Bond movie when I was 10 years old. The plot is way more convoluted than it needed to be, but it’s still a fun flick today.

The title track by Paul McCartney & Wings certainly has more radio play than any other Bond song over the years, and deservedly so. I’ve included a picture of the album gatefold, which features some screenshots and also some fun promo shots that really don’t fit in with the final plot.

The soundtrack was recorded between 1972 and 1973, and released on July 2nd, 1972. This was just after the film’s US release and just before its UK release. My 1973 US pressing sounds fine, but I’m ready for an upgrade.
