Links and Other Resources
This page offers links to other sources that may offer other related or relevant material of interest. I do not currently offer images, sound clips, or other Barry materials that are copyrighted. If some other site does offer such items, I'll be happy to create a link to it (as I have done with Sony Home Music's page below). If you find web pages with Barry information, please let me know so that I can update this list.
Soundtrack Retailers and Specialists |
|
My new favorite first stop when searching for out of print soundtracks. The Barry section is impressive.
Worth a look. |
|
Coauthor of the biography John Barry, A Life in Music and collector extraordinaire, Gareth wheels
and deals on Barry music. An excellent and knowledgeable source for hard to find items, especially if
you're in the UK.
|
|
A new and used soundtrack retailer based in New York. Lots of stuff, including a lot of binyl. |
|
A soundtrack retailer based in San Francisco. Lots of stuff, plus they produce some titles under their own label. |
|
Another excellent source specializing in soundtracks. Their search capability goes across their databases (so if you search on "Barry," it'll look through both the regular inventory and the rare inventory). |
|
Barry's far more popular in hometown England than he is in the USA, and Amazon.com's UK site is
a good source for in-print Barry stuff. You can often find things there that aren't available on the left side of the pond. |
|
This is a no-nonsense little website (kind of like this one)--no flash, no dash. But they've got stuff I don't see listed anywhere else (mainly in vinyl) and at good prices. As I type this (no guarantee it'll be there when you look) -- the original Body Heat LP, sealed, $35. Lolita My Love for $15. Plus a lot of other interesting things. Be sure to check titles--only a few of the listings have artist names; and the alphabetization is spotty as well. |

Internet Sites
|
|
An excellent John Barry site (better than mine). Lots of news, photos, and information.
Go there. Now. |
|
Yes, Virigina, there's a mailing list dedicated to John Barry (as well as a ton of other topics).
|
|
Steve Wolston reviews many of Barry's works. Definitely worth a look. |
|
Khalid Naseem has a streaming audio channel of film music
with Barry in heavy rotation. There's also a
James Bond music channel somewhere on Live365 as well. |
|
Arguably the best film music magazine available (the people at Soundtrack
may have something to say about that)--and it's now on the net! They have articles, information, and CD's
to sell (including Barry's Deadfall and Monte Walsh).
It is worth your while. |
|
Arguably the best film music magazine available (the people at FSM may have something to say
about that)--and it's now on the net! They have articles, information, and CD's to sell. It is worth your while. |
|
Another excellent site for all things Film Music. |
|
Decca is Barry's new home label, and they have web pages devoted to him and has recent Decca releases
(such as Eternal Echoes, The Beyondness of Things and
Enigma. |
|
Terry Gross interviewed John Barry regarding his James Bond scores. Listen to it with streaming audio, or order a cassette. (It's all Bond-music talk.) |
|
A website devoted to scoring engineer Shawn Murphy, who has worked on some of Barry's scores. |
