John Barry



In the mid- to late- 60's, Columbia Records released several John Barry compilation albums, two of them being JOHN BARRY CONDUCTS HIS GREATEST MOVIE HITS and READY WHEN YOU ARE, J.B.




In the late 80's, when labels began raiding their back catalogs to issue on CD, one of the many John Barry compilations was THE FILM MUSIC OF JOHN BARRY, which was comprised of the bulk of both albums and a third compilation LP.





Since the CD is still available & easy to find, I collected the 9 tracks from both albums that were left off of the CD

01) Afternoon
02) Dutchman
03) The Girl With The Sun In Her Hair
04) Midnight Cowboy
05) Romance for Guitar and Orchestra - Theme (from DEADFALL)
06) The More Things Change
07) Try (from OHMSS)
08) Who Will Buy My Yesterdays?
09) You Only Live Twice

Selections 2, 3, 9 - from JOHN BARRY CONDUCTS HIS GREATEST MOVIE HITS LP
Selections 1,4-8 - from READY WHEN YOU ARE, J.B. LP

THE GIRL is a theme from a British shampoo commercial that ran in the mid 60's, while Dutchman is from the score of Anthony Harvey's film of LeRoi Jones' play.

Go get it.

What a shame the file's not there when you go to download. Any chance of re uploading it?
