The Deep re-releases on CD by Hot Shot/Big Break Records

Hot Shot/Big Break Records are scheduled to release the John Barry/Donna Summer album, The Deep, on 10th February. Originally released in 1977, Barry & Summer received a Golden Globe nomination for their song, "Down, Deep Inside", which soared to no. 5 in the UK charts, winning a Silver Disc for sales volume.

Mastered from the original album tapes, the CD includes two bonus tracks, which could make it an essential purchase for Barry & Summer fans alike:

The White House Years - John Barry -- previously only available as the flip-side of Barry's instrumental single of "The Deep", released in the US.

Theme from The Deep (Down, Deep Inside) (12" Disco version) - Donna Summer.

The CD comes with a 16-page booklet which contains much of the original LP artwork and highly detailed notes by writer and music journalist Christian John Wilkane. He examines the history of Casablanca Records & Filmworks, the making of The Deep and the involvement of Barry & Summer in the project.
