The wonderful Jose Benitez made a public post in the John Barry Appreciation Society Facebook group in response to someone’s concerned post about when the new Barry recordings were being released. I’ll include the whole text here for folks but bold the most relevant part:

“Nope, the Cinecittà box-set wasn't a drawer to accelerate the release of titles that we had licensed with a close expiration date, but a project thought in this specific way from the beginning, planned before the pandemic, and with these titles specially selected for the program. We couldn't take a bunch of soundtracks and put them out in a box-set without first having everything contractualized for that specific format, otherwise, and at the low price we sell the box-set, it would have been a big waste of money for us. I'm sorry if that's what it sounded like, but it's not at all. The set in his own was one of the titles whose expiration was near, as also were the three Trovajoli, Hannie Caulder, Stridulum, Due Ragazzi Da Marcipiede, Le Secret, Requiem per un Gringo and Run For Your Wife. I think we've caught up now!

It so happens that our schedule between now and the end of 2023 includes another 15, maybe 16 titles, four of them are vinyl (three of them will also be relased in CD), the others are only CDs. Some are current films with release dates committed to coincide with the film release, we have a major one for December. There are a couple of cool Italian titles left which will be announced next week. On October 27th we'll release a set that includes two separate albums from a prestigious film composer, but they are not film music. It’s perhaps our most ambitious project to date and certainly the most expensive and the one that has been in the works the longest, although it is certainly not for all tastes and I doubt that it will be appreciated by film music fans, but sure for contemporany music lovers.

And also we have the end-of-the-year releases, which will be 3 or 4 titles. The Barry's album will come in 2023, not necessary in December, so be patient because there are only three months left this year.

Summarizing, too many work has come together at the same period. It happens that there are months when we have nothing to release because licenses and approvals are delayed or in limbo, and other times everything comes at the same time without the possibility of delaying them due to commitments. Crazy! Thanks to all for your patience and for being there!”
