What is the source?

It's a b**tleg sourced from tapes that Barry gave to some fans.

Not to change the subject, but I find this score to be one of Barry's lesser efforts - a catchy theme that wears down after a few listens and not much else. The true highlight is "Play it Again" as performed in a funky version in the film that didn't make it in the planned album.

The score presentation as seen on YouTube belongs to the tracklisting of the b**tleg and has its exact same sound quality - this b**t was unofficially "released" years before the DVD came to existence.

It is something of a mystery why this score hasn't been released by a proper record label. Silva Screen was going to do it but cancelled when the tapes appeared to be gone from the studio's vaults, and yet the score keeps flying around the internet in decent sound quality. Same goes for scores like "A Killing Affair" (a much more interesting effort by Barry, IMO, than Tamarind Seed).

I once thought highly of this score but now I see it too as a lesser JB effort - except of course for that lovely theme. I don't think we need something more than the almost 10-minute suite Nic Raine recorded for the Silva Screen ZULU album.

A lovely theme. Very melancholy. I always amazed how short this score was when I saw this movie back in the day. Sadly the suspense piece never develops and becomes incredibly repetitive. Still a nice thing to have in good quality. That Tadlow suite is a good presentation of this score too.

Discussed a number of times over the years ... such as: https://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=28728&forumID=1&archive=1 ... back in 2008.

For me, this is a wonderful score which adds to my enjoyment when watching the film (which I have several times). I didn't cross-check the pieces in the OP's post but it sounded as if the source was the isolated score from the BluRay release a few years ago ... but will stand corrected.

Others have recently praised the release of Barry's score to The Legend of the Lone Ranger (1981) .. taken from the vinyl LP. A fine score, indeed, but nowhere near as good as this 1974 score. My DVD rip (from 2009) runs e over 46mins (incl. source music) and I'd be very happy if a legitimate release became available. The BluRay isolated score is a decent stand-in but the sound quality is lacking.

Dude...they make medication for that recommendation! Scary

Harsh words (ed: in your original post - it's better now... cool )

I see no mess there. I like the suite.
(I guess I took the correct medication... razz )

Is it permissible to link to unauthorised YouTube uploads of somebody's IP? Just wondering.

I have the UK blu-ray -- it does not have an "isolated score track" -- only the short suite of cues plus the song cues. The cues posted on youtube are not from the blu-ray.

I haven't listened to these rips and generally I don't think it's cool bootlegging material you don't own and uploading it to YouTube.

But, the UK Blu-Ray contains the complete score, I don't know why people think it doesn't.

OK. I just had a quick listen. That rip of the opening title music is not from the infamous cassette that went round, because the version of the main title on that cassette was an alternate version that had extra percussion. It may have been a direct rip from the film soundtrack.

Cheers

I pulled out the bluray again and with some egg on my face the suite is indeed the complete score, in mono, lasting about 48 minutes -- it is a little hard to time out because it is not subdivided with a bluray menu -- but my player registers 7 chapters totaling about 48 minutes. I still don't considered it an isolated track, which to me in my idiotic mind set means a track that plays music only while you watch film the film. TTS suite is a single stand alone suite that does not play along with the film. The b**t is in stereo, as is the youtube material, so I imagine they came from the same source, and are not a rip from the blu ray since it is mono. The booklet that comes with the DVD discusses the score at length and confirms that the "suite" is the complete score. Sorry for not checking more thoroughly before posting. Lesson somewhat learned until my next mistake!

The lengthy music for the airport sequence is one of my favourite pieces of Barry music. I love this powerful, gradually developing music so much that I once recorded it directly from the movie, it just does not sound the same in the Silva recording or unmentionable recordings I have of it. What I am not clear is whether Barry recorded it in separate parts or as one long complete piece of music, it sounds like one piece of music in the movie. How does it play in the blu ray disc, as one track or different tracks?

I hope some enterprising label can get TAMARIND SEED released on CD.

I have been told by my sources, it is a rip of Blu Ray..

But here it is. Enjoy it..I do.

I truly love the score. Blake Edwards always said he liked Barry’s style.

Thank You Mrs. John Barry!
