It’s time to get funky on The Music of Bond this week. Oh yes, it’s time for Live & Let Die.
It’s got dirty grooves, it’s got wah wah guitars, it’s got bongoes galore, it’s got a Beatle singing the theme song. What doesn’t it have? Mr. John Barry at the helm. With George Martin taking over musical duties for Sir Roger Moore’s first Bond film, it’s a somewhat different take on everybody’s favourite spy.
Tune in for discussion on the history of the score, a look at what was going on behind the scenes and of course a track by track look at the original soundtrack release of Live & Let Die.
Note: The Music of Bond series is audio only and will not be available on Youtube.

Great pod! Very interesting how the legendary George Martin got the gig. Amazing soundtrack, that is different in tone and style to Barry, yet equally very Bondian.
Good job guys. I too had never considered those Beatles sounds. Definitely got me in the mood for LALD this weekend.
Turn it up and play it really LALD!
Yes! Yes! I’ve been waiting for this one for months!! I haven’t even listened to it yet but already my day has been M A D E!
I’m a little surprised that you stopped after the 14 tracks of the original release. Are you not aware of the 22-track remastered CD release?
Hi Brian
The original plan was, if I recall, to cover the remastered editions and extra tracks in later episodes. Just the standard release this time around.
