The 2003 remastered edition includes a previously unreleased score.

John Barry's best score for any James Bond movie -- including the best song ("We Have All the Time in the World") ever written for any movie in the series -- is reasonably well represented on this CD. Barry had already begun adding more diverse and complex orchestral pieces to his underscoring and greater lyricism to his songs with the preceding movie, You Only Live Twice, and he continued the process with On Her Majesty's Secret Service. The serious nature of its plot, however, and the unique mood of the movie, dictated that almost an entirely new score be devised: the brassy "007 Theme," which had appeared in three prior films, was absent, and the "James Bond Theme" was re-arranged. Barry also wrote one of his longest and most easily embellished action themes (heavily featuring the synthesizer, an instrument new to film scores), and dressed it up with a string section playing running scales that is startling to hear in stereo, with the discreet separation of the orchestral parts. And then there was "We Have All the Time in the World," the best song ever written for the Bond series; a serious, poignant love song that underscores the doomed romance between Bond and Tracy (Diana Rigg), it was sung by Louis Armstrong in what proved to be the jazz legend's final recording session. Astonishingly, the song was originally only a successful single in Italy, although it did become a hit in England 30 years later in connection with its use in a British television advertisement for Guinness. The music has since become one of the most popular elements of this film, which, with George Lazenby as its star, stands apart from both the Sean Connery and Roger Moore Bond movies. The CD has decent sound but comes without notes or credits. ~ Bruce Eder

5 stars Finally, the expanded OHMSS!!!
If you are wondering if it's worth buying this expanded version of the classic John Barry/James Bond score because you already have the original, the answer is most definitely a resounding YES! The additional material expands the scope of the music and as a result this stands as probably the ultimate James Bond soundtrack album. All the expanded and bonus tracks serve to show just how rich, and well structured and developed this score really is. In contrast the original album now sounds like a muted sampler. Sound quality is excellent, especially considering the age of the recordings, and it's great to finally hear the full Gun Barrell logo/This Never Happened To The Other Fella, Ski Chase, and the Bob Sleigh cue from the end of the film. If you are a Bond fan, this is a required purchase, if you are a John Barry fan, this is simply un-missable. Absolutely stunning!!!
