Barry John - Something's Up! Film, Tv & Studio W

Fakten “Something’s Up!" is the ultimate collection of the distinctive, darkly beautiful John Barry Sound – spy movies, swinging comedies, and social realism. Compiled by Saint Etienne's Bob Stanley, “Something’s Up!" covers the era when London was the driver of popular culture, and John Barry went from being just another British arranger to an actual pop star. The press talked about his E-Type life and called Jane Birkin his “E-Type wife". John Barry’s soundtracks were among the first to sell in numbers on record, often irrespective of whether the purchaser had seen the movie. He was a new breed; his music was designed to have a life of its own, on vinyl as well as celluloid. After the success of Ace's “The More Things Change: TV Film and Studio Work 1968-73", “Something’s Up!" will work a magic all of its own.
