Does anyone know of which Bond films have a clean recording of the orchestra hit that happens before the opening John Barry theme?

An example of what I’m after is here [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhCVuqAO18Y](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhCVuqAO18Y) at about 0:52 of the Dolby Atmos cinema pre-show.

All of the soundtrack albums I have auditioned, of course include the “Bond Theme”, but not that initial brass hit.

Try the opening track on the Skyfall soundtrack: Grand Bazaar, Istanbul.
