The score was composed by veteran John Barry. The opening theme, “All Time High” was sung by Rita Coolidge and is the only Bond theme (with a vocal) that does not reference the film’s title until 2006’s Casino Royale theme, “You Know My Name”. Additionally, it is the second theme not to be named the same as the film; the first was “Nobody Does it Better” from The Spy Who Loved Me. The original 1983 release by A&M Records was recalled due to a printing error, and became hard to find. The soundtrack was later released in 1997 by Rykodisc with the original soundtrack and dialogue from the film (additional tracks #3, #7, and #10 seen below) on an Enhanced CD version. The 2003 release by EMI restored the original soundtrack, without dialogue.
