Hats off to Pete Walker who has just discovered a hitherto unknown John Barry composition. "Pray to The Lord" was written for an album of Organ music in honour of Dr. Francis Jackson's 90th birthday, in 2007.

The CD (and accompanying organ sheet music in book format) containing a recording by John Scott Whiteley can normally be ordered from Banks Music Publications in York, but apparently they are fresh out of them. Not much of a cheese shop really, is it?

However, they say it is being reprinted/pressed and further copies will be available in a few weeks.

BBC Radio 2 - Sounds of the 60s - tribute to John Barry "March 19"

Share this post

Following hard on the heels of the Adam Faith box-set news, EMI has announced a John Barry box-set. That's the good news. The not so good news is that this appears to be an exact reissue of the three volumes of "The EMI Years" from the early 90s. So no additional tracks and no new remastering.  It does look to be cheap, though!
