Wrong Box (with bonus tracks)
CD (Item 597989) Mainstream/Intrada, 1966 — Condition: New Copy
One of the lesser-known John Barry scores of the 60s – penned for an equally lesser-known comedy that starred Michael Caine, Peter Sellers, Peter Cook, Tony Hancock, and Dudley Moore! The tunes have kind of a period feel with slight whimsical touches – not as mod and groovy as you might expect for the time, or for Barry – but with a strong orchestral approach overall, showing John's ability to work well in a more mainstream setting. There's a nice undercurrent of darkness at times, as on some of Barry's other orchestral work – and titles include "Morris Visits Dr Pratt", "Bournemouth Strangler", "Morris Hides As He Sees Handcart", "Montage Of Deaths", and "Yes Who Is That". CD then also includes previously unissued music in mono – "Suite No 1" and "Suite No 2" – both running well over 10 minutes each – plus two more takes from the three-track session master! © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
