[kraggash]

Why wasn't michael Caine James bond?

[kraggash]

Classy number

[SpeaksIt]

I have a different version of this. This is equally as good. I'm happy about it! x

[SpeaksIt]

@SpeaksIt it's this one (type this) John Barry ~ The Ipcress File

[MrArob1974]

Classic 60's kitsch

[Jadefg]

Ipcress File movie, Y U NO available anywhere?

[TheAuralab]

just amazing,....

[omghai2u]

this is so me

[ricscott10]

I know whether you could it(Ipcress File) his greatest but it sure gets an honourable mention on his ladder of some of his greatest themes. Then again it is so difficult to say which one is the best because then the film has to back it up. So I guess it gets down to personal preference. I would have to agree with BarryFanatic he will go down as the greatest film theme composer ever. Probably followed by Hans Zimmerman, Alfred Newman, Morriconni, not in that order.

[nrjelley]

@ricscott10 Don't forget John Williams too, he did some great stuff, i.e Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Schindlers List etc.

[MaracaTastic]

Is it safe??

[83RockaRolla]

@MaracaTastic Wrong movie! I guess you're looking for the Marathon Man

[anne5surf]

great track, thanks for posting!

[perrin6]

FANTASTIC sound quality.

[Bennetscomet]

To me John Barry is THE film theme composer, although Ennio Morricone gets an honourable No.2.

[barryfanatic]

@Bennetscomet The Greatest film theme composer ever. Sadly missed but his music will live forever.

[missjacko1]

perfect score, hints of danger, stealth and romance only John Barry could write such music.

[MrLoullers]

He always had those elements in all his tracks! :D

Especially in Bond :).

Dances with wolves is another great soundtrack from him, and the Specialist with Sylvester Stallone :D.

[kraggash]

Doesn't this just capture the essence of the time stylish but haunting

[soshanna1]

[cokobennett]

lol SUPER SONG BAYERN

[Sephirius]

Unfortunately in this recording the Dulcimer doesn't sound as harsh and sudden as the original, which was one of the best parts.

[Leonmpj]

Someone is trying to frame me!

[briefboyz]

Thank you Mr. Barry for enriching all of our lives with your music. The lush melodic orchestration of your work in films is unsurpassed.

[vanillaorchid]

This is sublime.

[WerdnaCourt]

R.I.P John Barry. Thanks for the extraordinary music ! ! This and the Bond theme, to name but a few 31.01.11.

[ingear75]

so long john.. ipcress file is my fav...theme of yours.

[mentalist555]

John Barry,the best musical dramatist of films,this menacing theme captured the iron curtain espionage with chilling intensity,it added a sombre mood of eastern bloc realism so essential to the plots dynamic structure.R.I.P,Maestro.......­.

[jonfletcher147]

R.I.P. John Barry......Ipcress is my favourite theme of his......

[wizardalvin]

Mr Barry is so the best, goodbye John, thank you so very much

[theman2017inc]

Rest in Peace, John Barry!!! :-(

[metalbucket2]

On the original, the cimbalon is more prominent and the woodwind has more swagger and the trumpet player is a better improviser (this one either plays single notes or pseudo military calls), but it is a passable version nonetheless. City of Prague Philharmonic, you've earned your dosh.

[MrLucianoPavarotti]

No decade offered such variety of so much talent as the 1960's.

[tootstanner]

The pure genius that is John Barry.....This film is an absolute British classic....John Barry's Soundtracks were simply Brilliant, and in the case of a lot of the James Bond Movies, the soundtrack was far more interesting than the film itself!!! A prime example is On her Majesties secret Service, the movie is poor but Film Score is awesome!!!

[chkjns]

@tootstanner In my 350 playlists of the best artists on earth there are about a dozen film composers so far. John Barry's list has over 40 songs. I also have playlists for every year since 1900 & add these film score in along with the pop tunes so you get a full idea of the music of the day, over a century worth! Added this for 1965. Hope you'll come check me out. Chuck

[Jamesbondi09]

@tootstanner

On her Majesties secret Service is awesome!!!

[drschufhausen1]

[kraggash]

How the music makes film!

[luciendelapeste]

The Mozart of the '60s

[Rigmored]

@luciendelapeste Morricone

[theotendleeey]

@luciendelapeste so true, defined the style of the era completely
