 Something Old, Nothing New: Things That Suck: The Lyrics of Leslie Bricusse
Leslie Bricusse should be roasted on a spit and eaten by cannibals as a warning to all bad lyricists." Something like that, anyway.
When Victor/Victoria and then Jekyll and Hyde (also with lyrics by Bricusse, and music by Frank Wildhorn, who was for about 30 seconds considered to have the potential to be a new Andrew Lloyd Webber), Bricusse became a byword in musical-theatre discussion groups for bad lyric writing.
By the time Bricusse reached his apogee, nay, apex, verily, his acme as a bad lyricist, in the '90s, he was still dealing in cliches, and still couldn't say anything in a subtle or interesting way.

Harrison performs his numbers in the speak-sing manner that he had turned into an artform during his MY FAIR LADY days, though I strongly suspect that Samantha Eggar's singing was partially-done by a voice double.

 Goodbye, Mr. Chips: Leslie Bricusse: Film Music on the Web CD Reviews June 2006   (Site not responding. Last check: )
So, this disc may be a celebration of the art of Leslie Bricusse (let’s not forget that he created all the thematic material here) but it also provides an important insight into some earlier pioneering work by John Williams that may have been unfairly overlooked until now.
Forty-eight pages of absorbing background information, a track by track analysis of the music – and there are a lot of tracks to analyse – colour stills and posters – and a most charming shot of Leslie Bricusse and John Williams together in latter years.
The five star rating is deserved here for all manner of obvious reasons, but for those who don’t care for musicals, or indeed for this one in particular, just use a fl marker pen to scribble over whatever you think is the inappropriate number of stars on your screen.

 Goodbye Mr. Chips Soundtrack - Leslie Bricusse & John Williams
Chips production came in under-budget, it had a long and colorful history of "development hell" in which multiple composers, directors, and stars were attached: and a wealth of music generated.
Disc two features an "alternate narrative" of the story through different versions of the songs (many of which were included on a "demo" LP of the soundtrack), source cues, score alternates, and promotional interviews given by the film's stars.
The album is almost entirely in stereo, with interview tracks and a few source and demo cues in mono.

This project brought Williams's talents for conducting and adaptation to forefront, leading to the subsequent, large scale film musicals Fiddler on the Roof and Tom Sawyer and soon paving the way for his involvement in blockbusters such as The Towering Inferno, Jaws and Superman.
And while Bricusse was responsible for the music and lyrics, Williams tackled the underscore, orchestration and source cues and thus all the songs are provided rich orchestral accompaniment.
