If you've been lucky to visit Kenya for a holiday, this album will bring back some memories. Probably the departing sight of these CDs & cuddly lions at Mombassa Airport. While on a short safari trip I'll never forget the look on fellow tourists' faces when I suggested we all sing "Born Free as free as ... " - another Barry Classic.
This is Oscar winning John Barry music and opens with the Main Title - "I had a farm in Africa" ( Meryl Streep where are you ? ) and ends with Al Jarreau's co-vocal of the love theme. The best use of the theme is for Flying Over Africa track.
Recorded back in 1985 with Mr. Barry at his non Bond best !

Notes by tv's Jonathan Ross ( now presenter of BBC's Film 2000 ) who had Mr. Barry as a guest on his Last Resort Show on C4 many moons ago.
This covers all Barry's great work & includes both his tv ( The Persuaders & 'Hit & Miss' - aka Juke Box Jury ) and award winning film scores ( Midnight Cowboy, Out of Africa & Dances with Wolves ) plus his Bond themes.
The only vocals are provided by Matt Monroe for From Russia With Love & Born Free and Shirley Bassey for Goldfinger & Diamonds Are Forever.
Great value and a must buy for Barry fans, especially if your old vinyl records are worn out.

- 1. The James Bond Theme - Symphonic Version.
- 4. Body Heat
- 13. The Lion In Winter - Suite
Don't be put off by the cover or low price, this 'sampler' album provides 14 tracks from 14 of Silva's movie collection albums.
The opening track of a 'symphonic' version of James Bond Theme is based around the time of Octopussy. Also included are Barry's Body Heat & The Lion in Winter Suite - the longest track lasting over 8 minutes.
All the orchestrations are really good quality, my two favourites are the themes from Connery's The Rock & Arnie's Total Recall. Other tracks include Brosnan's Mars Attacks ! & Costner's Wyatt Earp.
This CD is definitely worth a listen !
