Today, from the Bond on Vinyl archives, we’re listening to the next James Bond film, Tomorrow Never Dies!
Though the film didn’t open at #1 (it arrived in theaters the same day as Titanic), Pierce Brosnan’s sophomore effort eventually passed GoldenEye at the box office. Jonathan Pryce plays a convincing evil media mogul (who knew that would still be a real-world thing 25 years later?), and Michelle Yeoh stars as likely the best ally of Bond in the Brosnan era.
On John Barry’s recommendation, Barbara Broccoli picked David Arnold to score the soundtrack based on his successful Bond cover album. His technique worked well with the soundtrack too, successfully mixing classic Bond themes with techno.
Sheryl Crow’s main theme is not my favorite. However, I found a 7″ 45 RPM made for UK Jukebox only distribution. It was available at a record shop in Tasmania, the island state of Australia.
The soundtrack was released two weeks before the film’s December 1997 debut on CD. La-La Land Records has already put out a remastered and expanded 2-CD re-issue, so I’m looking forward to that making it to vinyl as well.
