James FitzPatrick of Silva Screen Records announces that after two years of negotiation with Carlton, Silva Screen have concluded a deal which includes THE IPCRESS FILE.
Vic Flick spoke to John the other day and he confirms JB is feeling very well after a successful hip operation!
Messrs Leonard, Bramley & Walker are now hard at work on re-editing their book "John Barry - A Life In Music". Set to be published to coincide with the release of "Die Another Day", the new Bond.
We would like to wish John all the best for a speedy recovery after his recent hip operation.
3rd March 2002: Ford A. Thaxton reported to the John Barry discussion group that next week he is going into the studio and edit and master the album. Right now the plan is to have the CD contain the entire score and then a suite of original source cues that Barry composed for the film (i.e like the HAMMETT CD).
After it's assembled, he is going to submit to both MGM and John Barry for their approval.
Assuming they wish no changes, work begins on the artwork and such. The CD will sound great!!! The the original 32 Digital masters were discovered, so it will sound better then ever.
James FitzPatrick wrote: Having now spoken to "the horse's mouth" - namely Luc of Prometheus Records, I can inform you that MAY will be the official release month for Masquerade and that it is more likely to be late May rather than early.
This is because Prometheus are releasing FLESH & BLOOD in March and they like to have a bit of a gap between each release. This also makes perfect economic sense as being a small label there is always the cinsideration of outgoings, cashflow etc...

Ford A. Thaxton reports on the John Barry discussion group "After a rather long search we just this week found the digital multi-track masters to the score and production on the master started on Friday.
It will be coming out very shortly, it will be the next release from the PROMETHEUS Club right after the expanded CD release of FLESH + BLOOD by Basil Poledouris.
The sound is INCREDIBLE!!! It will be well worth the wait."
Silva Screen "have no plans this year (2002) to record any more John Barry. Silva Screen have now recorded about all the Barry music that they want to (in excess of 600 minutes worth). So it will need a generous benefactor, ala Geoff Leonard, to get any more Barry albums done." (James FitzPatrick, Silva Screen.)
Mr & Mrs John Barry have given their approval and support for our up-dated book to be published in autumn 2002!
Walter from the JB Yahoo-group reports on Monday, November 19: "Just got an e-mail from my record-shop telling me that they have been informed by Warner-records that the release of PETULIA has been postponed indefinitely :-(
There is also no sign of PETULIA anymore on the amazon.de - website..."
Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland has been released on DVD. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the print is so bad, I’ve got a ten-year old video taped from TV with a faulty aerial in better shape! So, only get this if you are desperate (it is cheap) and even then think twice and do without it.
The company concerned is Platinum Disc Corporation of La Crosse, WI, USA, and may God have mercy on them for having the nerve to put this out for public consumption.
It’s pan and scan, unsurprisingly and appears to be region free. Pity the whole thing wasn’t! It’s such a shame that it’s not a decent transfer as it’s an excellent film. In fact, I was quite surprised to find so much music not on the original Warner Brothers LP. This is definitely a candidate for some enterprising company or person to re-record with all the songs and musical bridges intact.
A variety of piano sheet music, mostly covers but some including musical content. These include many James Bond films, songs co-written with Don Black, and Oscar-winning films, such as Born Free.
