JOHN BARRY MONO

New release: A new 3-CD set has been released featuring James Bond composer John Barry's early career and his original mono records. From the press release: "A three CD box set released in association with Geoff Leonard, biographer and world authority on the life and work of the great British film composer, John Barry. The edition includes every single John Barry Seven A & B side published between 1957 and 1962 in true mono housed together under one roof for the very first time. A unique opportunity to listen to these seminal recordings as they were originally heard. The first bona fide CD appearance of the "Stringbeat" LP in mono, together with various singles also making their mono debuts on CD. A chronological audio history of the group combined with authoritative booklet notes and rare period photos/images. The inclusion of impossible rarities, including the debut CD release of the original version of 'Three Little Fishes' plus many sought-after Chappell Music Library recordings. A fascinating insight into John Barry's early work as a film composer, comprising as it does The James Bond Theme and his scores for Beat Girl, Never Let Go and The Amorous Prawn." Looks fantastic! See Amazon and Amazon UK for details. Geoff Leonard stopped by last week to chat about the new book he co-authored covering this exciting era of John Barry's career. Definitely a must-read! See our interview about the book hereSpy Vibers, I also have a new book out (over 700 pages!) about one of America's great cartoonists. On other creative fronts, folks might not know that I began exhibiting as a fine art photographer in the late 1980s. I haven't shared that part of my life here much, but readers might like to see some of my work on Instagram. Enjoy!
