Don Black's radio tribute to John Barry airs

Written by Webmaster

John Barry and Don Black Don Black's long-awaited radio tribute to John Barry is scheduled for Monday 2nd January between 7 and 9 p.m. on BBC Radio 2.

Don remembers his first sighting of "a classy, elegant chap" on Tin Pan Alley, who ate "like a ballerina" and would despatch indebted film producers with his characteristic "Yorkshire bluntness".

On their music collaborations, he remembers Sir Tom Jones fainting after the sustained end note of Thunderball, and a producer's dismissal of the "lousy tune" and "filthy lyrics" of Diamonds Are Forever.

Don tells of artistic differences during rehearsals for Billy Liar, and the complete failure of another musical, The Little Prince And The Aviator, which closed during preview.

He recalls a memorable night at the home of Leslie Bricusse when he, Quincy Jones, Henry Mancini and Burt Bacharach had to break up a fight between Barry and John Phillips of the Mamas and Papas after the composer challenged Phillips to hum something by Mahler!

This tribute is sound-tracked by some of Barry's best loved compositions, including Born Free, Out Of Africa, The Ipcress File, Midnight Cowboy, Dances With Wolves and several of those classic Bond themes.

Stringbeat on CD

Written by Webmaster

In line with its 50th anniversary, Hallmark are releasing a CD of "Stringbeat" on the 1st January 2012. Due to an extension of copyright in sound recordings from 50 to 70 years voted in by the European Parliament, which is likely to become law in the UK next year or the year after, the days of new public domain re-issues are numbered. However, this won't prevent future PD releases of music which is *already* out of copyright by the time the law is in force.

The copyright situation is succinctly summed up by David Ades of The Robert Farnon Society in this article.

Silva Screen sub-licenses Ipcress File

Written by Webmaster

Silva Screen have sub-licensed a number of their CD releases to Dutch-based company Music on Vinyl (see news item below), including The Ipcress File.

This special 180 grams audiophile vinyl release comes in a Gatefold sleeve, and at the suggestion of Silva's commercial director, David Stoner, MOV opted to restore the running order that was on the original LP and to have all the dialogue clips as a bonus 7" which comes with the LP.

All the CD booklet notes from Silva's CD have been retained in the gatefold sleeve.

It *should* be possible to order this via your local record shop (if you still have one) or via the usual on-line shops such as Amazon. However, be prepared for an expensive purchase - amazon.co.uk currently offers it for an eye-watering £27.55 - but it should be worth waiting for Silva to stock it themselves.

Intrada releases The Black Hole CD

Written by Webmaster

From Intrada press release:
Label: Disney / Intrada D001383402
(55:05) Wow! You thought it would never happen! World premiere release of complete John Barry score for 1979 Walt Disney sci-fi tale with Anthony Perkins, Maximilian Schell, Ernest Borgnine, directed by Gary Nelson. Spectacular CD production, co-branded by Walt Disney Records & Intrada, offers every note of Barry's oft-requested score in stunning digital stereo from 32-track digital masters vaulted at Disney. Original LP offered 30 minutes of scoring highlights but new CD has every LP selection plus over 20 minutes of never-before released material, all newly mastered in true digital audio, playing in picture sequence! Exciting overture, swirling main title motifs are memorable but equally fun are numerous devices literally spotlighting favorite signatures of composer: melodic ideas played in one register by French horns, then another register by trumpets; massive block minor chords for suspense; repeating rhythmic ideas generating action; many other musical trademarks. Lengthy history of bringing complete score to CD, location of long-obsolete digital machines, creation of all-new digital mixes plus more info all notated in fascinating detail by producer Randy Thornton. But there's more! Original campaign artwork, production stills, full color shots of composer at recording sessions plus generous notes on film & scoring by Jeff Bond add more icing to sweet cake. A legendary soundtrack album now gets the "Special Edition" treatment at last! John Barry conducts.

John Barry's Golden Touch, part of Behind the Screen with BAFTA / Film4 Summer Screen

Written by Webmaster

Regretfully we only found out today about John Barry's Golden Touch, part of Behind the Screen with BAFTA / Film4 Summer Screen, which takes place at Somerset House, London, on 28th July:

"The late John Barry is undoubtedly one of cinema’s greatest composers. Well known for his outstanding, brand-defining scores for the Bond series from Dr. No through The Living Daylights, he also wrote the music for countless other major features: Petulia, The Lion in Winter, Walkabout, Midnight Cowboy, Out of Africa, Body Heat, among them. Over the years, he received 5 Oscars, a BAFTA and 4 Grammys awards, an amazing record which also reflects the high regard in which he was held by the industry. In this event, Composer Miguel Mera will lead several of Barry’s musical sons and daughters through a rich array of his spectacular scores to celebrate his particularly golden touch."

Unfortunately the event is already sold out, as is the film it accompanies later that evening, The Spy Who Loved Me.

It's a pity BAFTA didn't tells us about the event earlier since we could have ensured the real John Barry fans got the opportunity to attend the talk. We could also have pointed out that the film they've chosen has no music by John Barry!

"... as well as tributes from Don Black, Sir Michael Caine, Timothy Dalton, Sir George Martin, and Sir Tim Rice." No, Sir Tim did not do a tribute.
Or listen (again for a whole week) online.

The Pre-Concert Fan Meet

Written by Webmaster

Current thinking seems to indicate the BFI area on the South Bank in the
afternoon, or late afternoon.
The restaurant is literally on the bank of the South Bank, almost
underneath Waterloo Bridge.
You walk across the footbridge from Embankment tube to the South Bank,
turn left down the steps and walk along the bank, past the Royal
Festival Hall, until you almost get to the National. You cannot miss it.

The BFI is outdoors and in. Weather forecast at the time of writing is
not good:

http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/UKXX0085

The Riverfront, the BFI restaurant on the South Bank is a good place for
eating in the afternoon. It has both indoor and outdoor facilities and
it's not too far away from South Kensington tube station...

... which itself is 15 minutes walk from the RAH or...

... The Gore Hotel, which could equally be the final pre-concert drinks
meeting venue!

So: 1pm-4.30pm (approx) at the BFI and 5pm onwards at the Gore Hotel, next to the RAH, by the way.

We do not know if we all fit in anywhere, so don't pin us down on anything. But these are two places we know about where fans try to meet. And many have never met before. Proprietors won't know what's going to hit them!

Contact Geoff if you have any questions.

John barry's "Pray to The Lord"

Written by Webmaster

Hats off to Pete Walker who has just discovered a hitherto unknown John Barry composition. "Pray to The Lord" was written for an album of Organ music in honour of Dr. Francis Jackson's 90th birthday, in 2007.

The CD (and accompanying organ sheet music in book format) containing a recording by John Scott Whiteley can normally be ordered from Banks Music Publications in York, but apparently they are fresh out of them. Not much of a cheese shop really, is it?

However, they say it is being reprinted/pressed and further copies will be available in a few weeks.

John Barry Special, ClassicFM Sunday night 8pm, February 20

Written by Webmaster

There will be a two-hour John Barry tribute on Classic FM, UK, Sunday night at 8pm on the David Mellor's show.
N.B.! Slightly (slightly?) disappointing to us hardcore fans, he plays just six themes (covers too and not the best) and the rest all covers of famous film themes. "Dancing With Wolves"? Opps.

Complete Faith, Adam Faith box-set CD

Written by Webmaster

Complete Faith (His HMV, Top Rank & Parlophone Recordings 1958-1968) (6CD)

In a surprise move which will fill John Barry fans with some hope, the website Play.com has listed an Adam Faith box-set as being released on 4th April.

We don’t know everything yet because Play.com only list details for four of the six CDs, but we’ll update as soon as possible. The other CDs probably contain tracks from the albums, On The Move & Faith Alive!. The good news is that there are many tracks previously unreleased and many others are newly remastered. It’s also very cheap at £13.99!

It’s not easy to tell just from the titles listed, but it appears that John Barry would have been involved in some of the previously unreleased tracks, such as Rivers Run Dry, I Know What I Want, That's What Love Will Do, and La Bamba. There is no sign of "What a Whopper" which suggests it might not have been an EMI recording.
