I hate to ask, but is there a chance for a re-issue of "Until September"? It's a lovely score and Barry re-used the main theme in "A View To A Kill"...

Umm...you're mistaken. Barry NEVER reused that theme in A VIEW TO A KILL.

I suggest the use of a Q-tip before listening next time.

James


It's used as the introduction to the Paris scene.


Okay. I got out my Q-tip and you're right. I misunderstood what you meant at first and thought you were saying it was the same theme.

It's about a 15 to 20 second track and arranged in a very grand fashion. Too bad it didn't make the CD.

My apologies.

James

Anyone know yet what is comprised in the "special suite"? I'm hoping it's unreleased music. smile

I can't believe the interest in this very minor Barry, it's not even its first time out on CD.

Well, John Barry is one of the big ones and his releases are few and far between these days.

And of course the original CD has been OOP for sometime now.That should put a stop to the EBay hoarders for the time being.

Not completely because the original release also contains Until September.

... which is one of my top 5 best Barry scores!

It's a nice score but I must say the Moviola II re-recording of the main theme is ten times better than the original performance.

Much as I love John Barry, I must admit that "Starcrash" is one of my least favorite Barry scores. It's a bit dreary. Still better than a lot of modern film music, but a bit dull by Barry standards.

Still won't stop those bastards on EBay from fleecing people.

I'm not defending 'Ebay bastards', but no one has to buy. They can only fleece you if you let them.

If it's the case that what's on sale is a rarity that commands a high price, you can't really blame the seller for that.

Anyway, back to Star Crash.

The plus: It's Barry.

The minus: It's probably the most 'phoned in' score he's done.

For me, though, the plus outweights the minus. Wow, I bet that surprises you.

Cheers

I'm testing the board to see if there's a bug right now.

I love the Star Crash score.

Apparently there is a bug but my guy has been notified.

Wow, I can't believe how cool the inserts are for STARCRASH... Mark Banning actually surprised me and found some key art I'd never seen for this movie before.

I don't think this dopey movie has ever had such lavish treatment!

BSX sure didn't pull any punches with this one. STARCRASH is an outstanding score, one of my favorites by the maestro, and the sound quality of this release is superb. There are some great shots inside the booklet and on the back cover (one of which reminds me of a classic Eddie Murphy line: "Have a Coke and a smile and shut the fu@< up!" big grin). As MikeJ noted, the illustrations are fantastic, especially the one behind the CD tray...bottoms up! wink

I'm awaiting this with eager anticipation, too. Intrada should be shipping it soon. big grin

So it must be shipping then. I'm always nervous with such low quantity releases of mine getting lost in the post or something!

Waiting keenly....

Cheers

Can you tell us what that 7 minute bonus suite made up of?
Thanks.
