Description
This CD captures John Barry at one of the most consequential moments in his career, spanning the years 1962 to 1964 when he was simultaneously defining the sound of British cinema and shaping the sonic identity of the James Bond franchise. The collection opens with the iconic James Bond Theme and ranges across film scores, TV themes, and orchestral pop — including his brooding work on Seance On A Wet Afternoon and the quirky energy of Mouse On The Moon — demonstrating the remarkable breadth Barry could cover within a single period. An alternate version of The Human Jungle theme and the bonus track That Fatal Kiss add genuine archival interest for serious collectors. Essential listening for anyone tracing the evolution of one of the twentieth century’s most distinctive film composers…
