Trumpeter/bandleader/composer/arranger/producer JOHN BARRY is perhaps nowadays chiefly remembered for his memorable movie themes; but long before his composing successes he'd fronted the UK's finest Rock & Roll band, THE JOHN BARRY SEVEN. Apart from Barry, on trumpet, their most celebrated member was legendary guitarist Vick Flick, whose elegant twanging graces all but two of these sides. This compilation presents the very best of the JBS's recordings for EMI's Parlophone and Columbia labels, between 1957-62. Includes the hits 'Hit And Miss', 'Beat For Beatniks', 'Never Let Go', 'Blueberry Hill', 'Walk Don't Run', 'Black Stockings', 'The Magnificent Seven', 'Cutty Sark' and the career-defining 'James Bond Theme'. Also includes a couple of fearsome rarities, 'Saturday's Child' from a "Saturday Club" LP, and 'Rocco's Theme', which was released under the pseudonym 'Michael Angelo & His Orchestra'. This is by far the most comprehensive compilation of John Barry Seven material available.
