Casablanca released the original motion picture soundtrack to The Deep on blue colored vinyl, one of the few highlights of this work conducted by the legendary John Barry. He teams up with Donna Summer, who had a couple of gold records prior to this but had not ascended to the “Queen of Disco” level quite yet. Together they write “Theme From the Deep (Down, Deep Inside),” which is actually a decent orchestrated tune from Summer’s dance world. It sounds influenced by Barry White’s 1973 work with “Love Unlimited Orchestra” and could have fit into any number of James Bond films. Like the movie, which featured Jacqueline Bisset, Nick Nolte, Louis Gossett, and Eli Wallach, the soundtrack has faded into the 1970s — an artifact of the disco era. Beckett’s “Disco Calypso” is innocuous and somewhat monotonous, produced by Buddy Scott and engineered by Ed Sprigg.
