Tracks list

JOHN BARRY’S CLASSIC SOUNDTRACK RELEASED FOR THE FIRST TIME

During John Barry’s 40 years of creating memorable film scores and theme
songs, most of these have resulted in soundtrack album releases, with the one
notable exception being the 1974 romantic spy thriller The Tamarind Seed. Silva
Screen Records is pleased to release The Tamarind Seed, the first official
release, in physical and digital formats.

Though an official soundtrack album was apparently never planned, the tracks
selected for this release include all the major cues used in the film, together
with Wilma Reading’s commercially released single. Included are two
different versions of ‘The End’, with lyrics by Don Black and as
performed by Danny Street, and different versions of both main and end title
themes. Upon the original release LA Times described Barry’s score as
“lush” whilst Variety, singled out the quality of the song by
predicting “plenty of air and juke-box plays”. Entertainment Focus
comments on the effect of the score on the listener as “likely to repeat
in your head for days after watching the movie. Barry strongly captures the
romantic element of the story, and his melodies are beautifully
translated by the orchestra.”

Starring Julie Andrews and Omar Sharif, this slow burn romantic spy movie takes
a different, human angle to tell a complicated story of Cold War and Love.
Created by multi-award-winning director Blake Edwards, the Julie Andrews and
Omar Sharif romance gently unfolds against a backdrop of Cold War paranoia.
