John Barry's sinister score from the 1984 suspense thriller, Mike's Murder. Often overlooked in Barry's career, this is one of those rare chances to listen to the late maestro write some powerful material. Very stylish and highly recommended.

“When Pete Malinverni plays, the people listen,” observed Patricia O’Haire in the New York Daily News. That’s no mean feat in the mecca of jazz.

Multi-faceted musician, songwriter & producer, Pete Lesperance is best known as guitarist and half of the songwriting force behind international recording group Harem Scarem. Pete’s first solo album ‘Down In It’ was released in 2004 and then re-released as a band album under the monicker Fair Ground two years later (with a slightly different songlist). A really enjoyable album with good melodies and impeccable playing.

Great John Barry album makes world CD premiere at last! Original soundtrack from John Schlesinger 1930's-era drama with Donald Sutherland, Karen Black, William Atherton. In 1974, famed Dot label producer Tom Mack produces two back-to-back classic soundtracks to Paramount movies with similar 1930's Los Angeles settings: CHINATOWN (for ABC label) & THE DAY OF THE LOCUST (for London label). Mack produces both LPs with emphasis on original scores while weaving in period music important to each respective movie, greatly enhancing mood of final album. For THE DAY OF THE LOCUST, John Barry anchors with rich, warm main theme, then surrounds with appropriate variants to fit each scene. For climactic sequence, Barry writes what might be his most intense, dramatic cue of a long and famed career! Intrada CD features same classic program as London LP, presented from mint condition stereo album masters vaulted at Universal Music Group. Notes by Jeff Bond. John Barry conducts.
