One of Barry's most sought after soundtracks finally receives a CD release from Harkit much to the chagrin of our US counterparts who seem intent on casting aspersions as to it's legitimacy - fortunately US copyright laws do not extend into Europe. Intrada, who brought us Barry's sumptuous `Mary Queen Of Scots', apparently planned to release Boom but could not locate the master tapes. So Harkit has stepped up to the mark with this vinyl transfer. The movie itself, based on Tennesse Williams `The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore' and starring Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor and directed by the brilliant Joseph Losey was loathed by critics and audience alike. The lavish, often ridiculous costuming - a vintage Liz Taylor performance which some unkind critics have likened to a drag artist and the appearance of Noel Coward as `The Witch Of Capri' has made `Boom' a must see camp classic. The soundtrack, however, is one of Barry's golden scores and can stand side by side with `The Tamarind Seed', `Follow Me' and the previously mentioned `Mary Queen Of Scots.' The only weak spot here is the Don Black / Johnny Dankworth composition `Hideaway' sung by Georgie Fame. Thankfully it appears as the last track so Barry's music can be listened to uniterrupted. Great notes by Kimberly Lindbergs (of Cinebeats - Confessions Of A Cinephile).

The album masters and documentation for 'Boom' are apparently lost.
Interesting then that Harkit negotiated with UMG to issue a cd from a vinyl source, or did they?
Is this cd legal?
Will John Barry get paid for his work?

JOHN BARRY MEETS THE BURTONS: BOOM!
12 Nov 2008
Format:Audio CD
As considered by most critics of the day "Boom" was panned as a disaster of a film. But in hindsight it is now being viewed as a cult classic. (See my review of the film for more information regarding that.)
Here we have a rare John Barry score that I thought would never see the light of day. Barry is best known for his early Bond scores and films like "The Lion In Winter". Scores that are bold and full blown and soaring. Here in "Boom:" he is lyrically whimsical and at the same time dramatic. The circus motif of the opening titles set the tone of everything being out of touch with reality and of another world, private, beyond normal and a little insane. And yet it is one of his most hauntingly gorgeous efforts for the movies.
Enchanting in a very 1960's way and for any Barry fan a must have.

STARTLINGLY DIFFERENT BARRY
25 April 2012
Format:Audio CD
Notwithstanding an earlier review of this music, I have a completely different take on this score. It marvellously captures the feel of the Mediterranean evoking past eras of the Aegean Classical period. This is nothing like anything Barry had ever written - before, or since! A must for the film music collector.
