We are delighted to announce that Beat Girl, which contains John Barry's first ever film-score, will receive its premiere DVD/blu-ray release on 25th April.

The extras will prove of interest to Barry fans because it includes a few minutes of additional/alternative footage, which might feature music never heard before.
