John Barry: The More Things Change - Film, TV & Studio Work 1968-1972 (CD)

(Ace Records) 22 tracks

In the late 1960s and early '70s, John Barry was at the height of his creative powers. Within months, he wrote both his best Bond music for On Her Majesty's Secret Service and the music for the Oscar-winning film Midnight Cowboy. As one decade passed into the next, Barry delivered a series of haunting, highly atmospheric film scores: The Date, Deadfall, Mary Queen Of Scots, Follow Follow, and perhaps his best work was Nicolas Roeg's masterpiece Walkabout.

He also found time to write the immortal theme for the TV series The Persuaders. "The More Things Change" collects Barry's best work from that period, including the entire classic 1970 album "Ready When You Are, J.B.," released on CD for the first time. In addition, it collects loose ends from the period (including excerpts from the lost 1968 Richard Lester classic Petulia) and follows Barry into the early '70s.

Compiled by music writer and John Barry superfan Bob Stanley, it features extensive sleeve notes and a great selection of ephemera. 2022 will also see the publication of "Music By John Barry," a 500-page book of his greatest scores. John Barry is Britain's greatest soundtrack composer and has few rivals in the world: "The More Things Change" is John Barry at his best.

"John Barry"

John Barry,

king of screen composers, was born John Barry Prendergast in 1933, grew up in York, and spent his youth watching films in the movie theatres owned by his family. After national service derailed his ambition to be a concert pianist, he formed the John Barry Seven in 1957 and found work backing pop stars like Tommy Steele and Frankie Vaughan. HIS first soundtrack success came in 1959 with Beat Girl, starring Adam Faith, and in 1962 Barry was asked to arrange the title theme for the first James Bond picture, Dr No.

Since then, of course, his name has been inextricably linked with 007's, the winning combination represented here by the title music for the second, probably best ever, Bond film, From Russia With Love. Enjoy, too, the evocative opening sequence from one of his earliest projects, Zulu, plus several notable pieces from the US ABC-TV 1963 documentary special Elizabeth Taylor In London. OUR final track, Christine, released in 1963 by 'Miss X' (actually Joyce Blair) was a topical parody based on the Profumo affair. Later, Barry would pick up Academy Awards for Born Free (1966), The Lion In Winter (1968), Out Of Africa (1985) and Kevin Costner's Dances With Wolves (1991), but our 16-track selection highlights those early-mid Sixties pieces that first propelled Barry's music to a worldwide audience.

Pass the popcorn and enjoy!
