Description

An Easter Treat! For this mission I’m joined by none other than Bond superfan, all round ‘egg-spert’ and author of Catching Bullets and Watching Skies; Mark O’connel who can be found on Twitter and Bluesky as @Mark0Connell and markoconnell.bsky.social respectively and together we’ll be doing a deep dive into John Barry’s egg-cellent score for Octopussy and working our way through the cues that accompany Bond as he flies a mini jet from a horses arse, goes on an egg hunt, takes in a trip to the circus, has a run in with some knife wielding twins; culminating in an ‘all time high’. But is this score absolutely faberge or a load of old bull? Let’s find out shall we?


Octopussy score written by John Barry. 'All Time High' song written by John Barry with lyrics by Tim Rice, performed by Rita Collidge, produced by Stephen Short and Phil Ramone; released through A & M Records, all rights reserved.
