Almost Love
Seems to me as if that’s all we’re coming to
And it feels good after all that I’ve been through.
Killing time
I’ve been down to my last dime
I’ve been scared that all the pain’s gonna show, but now I know
That I was hurting the most ‘cause I’ve never been close to
Almost Love
And it feels like it’s the closest I’ve been yet.
And it’s stronger now the closer that I get.
Coming Home
I’ve been running far too long
Now it looks like if I hang on to you, I’ll make it through
And if you Hang onto me, I’ll bet this could be
Almost Love
Seems to me as if that’s all we’re coming to
And it feels good after all that I’ve been through.
Killing time
I’ve been down to my last dime
I’ve been scared that all the pain’s gonna show, but now I know
That I was hurting the most ‘cause I’ve never been close to
Almost Love
Kind of feels like it’s Almost Love

Recorded by Catherine Howe on Breeze BI 113 (1981)

For those who've never seen the "Pawn Stars" episode which features Flick, Vic Flick, and one of his Bond guitars, you can watch it on ITV4 this Saturday.
Pawn Stars
On: itv4 (24)
Date: Saturday 13th January 2018
Time: 13:00 to 13:30
No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service. Series 8, episode 29.
A 1961 Fender Stratocaster used in the recording of the James Bond theme is brought into the shop by the man who played it: Vic Flick.
Note that despite the text, the guitar in question was not used on the original recording of The James Bond Theme, but was used on other Bond films.
Based on Lynne Reid Banks’ best-selling novel, The L-Shaped Room (1962) tells the tale of a young woman (the superb Leslie Caron), unmarried and pregnant, who takes a bed-sit in a run-down London rooming house to consider her situation.

“Tonight, Andrew Collins shines the spotlight on two composers, starting with the Academy Award-winning Rachel Portman. Her Oscar-winning music for Emma features alongside nominated scores for The Cider House Rules and Chocolat. We’ll also hear some of Portman’s most recent projects, including Belle and Their Finest.
The second film composer to feature is John Barry, with the iconic scores for Born Free, The Lion in Winter, Out of Africa and Dances with Wolves among his rich legacy. Plus some of Barry’s contributions to the James Bond films, such as You Only Live Twice and Thunderball.”
Update 2017-11-13:
We are informed by writer Randall D. Larson that this Starcrash release is a reissue of the BSX edition via BSX's distributor. It shares the BSX content and graphics, and, presumably, his booklet notes.
According to the amazon.co.uk website, Starcrash is to be released again on CD on December 8th.
