Never say never.
As this thread amply demonstrates.

Yes!
This thread should be a permanent reference any time anybody around here mopes that some desired album will "never" happen. Look at all the "nevers" that we can now own (and I may well have missed some):
Alien3, Another 48 HRS., The Bad Seed, Battle Beyond the Stars, Beverly Hills Cop, Beverly Hills Cop 2, "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" episodic scores, Damnation Alley, The Eiger Sanction, Frenzy, Ghostbusters 2, The Godfather, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Magnificent Seven Ride, Marnie, Obsession, Scarface, Sugarland Express, Superman Returns, The Ten Commandments, Top Gun, Two For the Road, The Valley of Gwangi, and Willow.
(There's also a reference to a “never-to-be-released" Stromberg recording of Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein.)
And this doesn't even include some where excellent new recordings have been produced ("QB VII" and The Man Who Knew Too Much being prime examples).
So maybe Jones will relent on The Dark Crystal or A Shot in the Dark will turn up or somebody will untangle Volunteers. Naïve? Maybe. But look what the last eleven years have made possible!

John Barry's Sinful Davy. Completely recorded in 1968 or 69 but rejected, so can't even be reconstructed from the film. Tapes lost or destroyed. Score lost.
So for all we know, it could be crap.
Highly unlikely . He never ever once wrote crap film music or other.

Let's put Sinful Davey in context. Recorded in the midst of Deadfall, The Lion in Winter, Petulia, Boom! The Appointment, Midnight Cowboy, and On Her Majesty's Secret Service, one of Barry's best periods. I think the odds that his Sinful Davey would have been a clunker are pretty slim.

I've yet to hear a Barry score that was bad or a clunker or any other word to describe something poor. I've heard ones I strongly dislike, but Barry seems to have always given nothing but professionalism, even early on when he was still learning the trade.

I dislike no Barry score, but some leave me cold. However, no one could ever accuse John Barry of slumming. A pro AND an artist through and through.
