Yes, a compilation of Sony-owned material. Just a word of warning: some of these sets I know are horrendously brickwalled and unlistenable...

Yes, a new release but the same old same old in terms of content.
If it's cheap enough I might get one for the car.
Cheers

Also worth noting from the link that Geoff posted, Silva are releasing on vinyl Barry's score to 'Raise The Titanic' at the end of September...

More in the category: things that the world doesn't need 
I sure hope that some label comes up with a release of new Barry stuff - and if it is just previously unavailable transfers of some late-1950s 45s...

Well I bought this compilation and so far I'm not impressed, the James Bond Theme, Diamonds are Forever and All Time High appear to me to be edited out of The James Bond Suite from Moviola 2 Action and Adventure, and not very well. It's a minor gripe really, I mean what did I expect for £8, I guess it's like the old saying "You get what you pay for"
I really wish that someone would just release "Ready when you are JB" one of my all time favourite Barry albums, I wouldn't mind just a straight release, nothing added, nothing taken away.
If that isn't possible couldn't somebody link it with "John Barry conducts his greatest movie hits" if the album itself is too short.
It's just a thought.

Chris, the compilation I have from the mid 1990's, the music of John Barry, seems to have everything on the Ready When You Are JB compilation, yes? I've always been pleased with this album.
I found it on Amazon for $40, and a 90's CD of Ready for $30 something.

The compilation album you mention The Music of John Barry included all of the tracks from John Barry's first two CBS albums: Great Movie Sounds of John Barry and John Barry Conducts His Greatest Movie Hits but only 5 of the 11 new tracks on the album Ready When You Are, J.B. (the twelfth track was Born Free which had appeared on those two earlier releases).
This left: We Have All the Time in the World, Fun City, The More Things Change and Who Will Buy My Yesterdays?, Try, Afternoon ... the first three appeared on other compilations but the last three have, to date, had releases only on the aforementioned PEG release (rare and expensive, I found) or, thankfully, the 6CD compilation: Themependium. This set allowed me to recreate that original album (albeit I've swapped The Persuaders! for Born Free).
Personally, I don't class any of these three CBS albums from the 1960s as compilations (though the second of them does repeat 4 tracks from the first) and I rate Ready When You Are, J.B. my favourite album (non soundtrack)

I've retained only We Have All the Time in the World and Capsule in Space / Space March as all of the other tracks have appeared on other compilations ... this 1988 release didn't have the best sound (to my ears!) I know others will say that that latter track has appeared on other releases but this particular release is slightly extended, running another 17" approx., and so is essential to this JB fanatic 
I've never noticed this. The same is true for "The James Bond Theme" on the French "Amicalement Votre" ("The Persuaders!") compilation...

In the case of Space March and The James Bond Theme, it was a case of not fading out the cue (as was originally intended by Barry on the original LP releases) but letting the studio cue run its course. The alternate Chase cue is a different arrangement, and the rhythmic last part is in a different key from the more familiar original Columbia/CBS LP version.

I'm enjoying the discussion on this thread, so would someone like to detail the origins of the tracks on this CD compilation...
I don't have this one. Judging by the tracks on the cover, this is a compilation of Polydor stuff from the 1970s...
