It’s 35 years since Play It Again became the first company to release Barry’s Beat Girl & Stringbeat on CD.
We felt the time was right for a re-issue, but this time with a second CD comprising of the best of his early work — with one or two surprises — all accompanied by a de-luxe 24-page booklet.
Our official release date is Tuesday 1st July, but you can order now and beat the rush for this limited edition!
The double CD is very competitively priced at £11.99 including postage for UK customers, and is available direct from us or via eBay. It’s going to be slightly more expensive via eBay, but we can accept Paypal, and it accepts credit and debit cards.
The cost for those living outside the UK varies depending on distance, but inclusive of postage it will be between £15 and £18. For the time being it can only be purchased direct from us, via Paypal.

by Geoff Leonard and Pete Walker
Employed by the Civil Service and attached to MI6, he shares the name of a famous but fictional spy, but that is the only similarity. His success as a spy-catcher, crime-solver, gourmet and womaniser is matched only by the UK’s recent performances in the Eurovision Song Contest.
Oh, and he also cheats at cards and golf …..
