Real Life Permanent Dreams - A Cornucopia Of British Psychedelia 1965- 1970 (Castle CMXBX 1239)
Forty years since the summer of love, the psychedelic rock of the latter half of the 1960s is as popular as ever, and the latest in a long line of compilations to trade on that fact is Real Life Permanent Dreams. As its title suggests, the album's brief restricts it to the UK scene but it is still a rich and varied collection made with collectors very much in mind; its tally of 99 tracks includes previously unreleased, live, alternate and rare recordings as well as mainstays of the genre, with flower power favourites from The Kinks, Donovan, Status Quo and The Small Faces. The set comes in a smart longbox, with a lavishly illustrated and informative 52-page booklet.
John Barry
Themependium (Sony BMG 88697079502)
Terrible title, terrific compilation. The distinguished John Barry has been writing wonderful music for stage and screen for more than 50 years and has a unique and extremely tuneful style - maybe that should be styles, as he is able to adapt his music to suit whatever mood is required and always delivers memorable and melodic content. This neat boxset contains 100 original Barry recordings, from early TV themes such as Hit & Miss (Juke Box Jury) and The Human Jungle to movie magic including The Deep (Down Deep Inside), Chaplin and John Dunbar. Of course, there is also a generous selection of Bond themes, including You Only Live Twice, View To A Kill, The Living Daylights and Diamonds Are Forever.
