Thank you!
Thank you So much!
Thanks a bunch!
What did John Barry do on this soundtrack? I thought Dr. No was all Monty Norman?
How is this remastered? Someone put on the OST LP and recorded it.
@TurtlesFamn
So the story goes like this (as I know it):
Barry and Norman were working closely together on the movie and later it was difficult to tell what was whose idea. John Barry was playing in bands with very similar ‘band’ kinda tone prior to the Bond music. So we don’t know who did what, but apparently they agreed that Barry will have his (and his band’s) name as composer, while Norman gave his name to the famous 4 chord Bond theme. (Track 1 here.) As we know the Bond theme is used ever since (not only in Bond movies but what to do) so it basically immortalized Norman’s name, while Barry went on to score 10 other EON Bond movies (and we know how great he was at it so we can safely assume he was the main composer for Dr. No as well) But it would be interesting to know the truth.
Fun fact: There is a 50th Anniversary album with 23 tracks and it contains a lot more cues actually written as score, and it definitely sounds like later Barry sound. Check it out!
Monty Norman was hired to compose the music for Dr.No. All of the music in the film is credited to him as composer. However, Norman experienced difficulty in coming up with an exciting main theme. Dr.No’s Fantasy and Underneath The Mango tree were suggested but thought to be inappropriate. With time running out, he took out of the drawer a song called Bad Sign, Good sign from an abondoned stage musical called A House For Mister Biswas. The melody was given to John Barry to arrange. Barry claims he used the opening bars for the guitar riff and the rest is his work, more than just orchestration/arrangement . A court case regarding an article found to be libellous in London in 2001 decided that Norman wrote at least a part of the James Bond Theme but how much remains an open question. . Regardless, credit and royalties remain Monty’s.
Thanks.
Thank you very much admin.
