I must agree that the delay is frustrating. As the recording is now complete and has been sent to those who contributed financially I cannot understand why there is a delay. I have every sympathy with Mr Fitzpatrick's health issues as I have similar issues myself but as I say the recording is complete and packaged so surely there are enough employees at Tadlow to commence distribution even if Mr Fitzpatrick is unwell. If he is unwell surely there is all the more reason to distribute the recording in order to take the pressure off him.
In the UK under current lockdown measures, non-essential businesses are closed. I think as proprietor James could go in but his employees could not. So if he is also unwell... that's it.

Tadlow isn't a huge label with a mass of employees waiting to ship CDs to the public. I think you'll fiind it's a one man operation with James doing everything. When he's ready to make it available to the wider public then it will happen In the meantime a little patience will be helpful.

Yes it would be good to have this before Christmas.
However, seems to me, the world really needs some true healing miracles at this time.
When these happen the new recording of King of Kings can become the true soundtrack of 2021.
Stay well everybody!

I'm sure glad I did sign-on, and I will for any future project. If I like the score, it's worth the wait.

The sense of entitlement from one or two individuals is pretty appallling. Only those who laid their money down in January 2018 were entitled to anything.
Anyway, James has now responded and confirms he's a one man operation and has been ill and a release date is forthcoming.

I don't know. I've looked over this thread without finding any great sense of entitlement. Impatience, frustration and disappointment certainly, but after several years of anticipation those are to be expected. The good news is that, unless you're a huge purist, this release is probably worth waiting for, and I say that as one who isn't always enamored with Tadlow releases (though I'm always grateful for them). In short, it's possible to enjoy this recording without recourse to the original, to get the spirit (if not always the letter) of the score and not feel you're missing anything, or that any outrageous alterations have been made. No, it's not a substitute for the original but an addition, and a welcome one. There are even minor gains, like the elimination of reel change pauses and a certain increased clarity in the texture of the Prelude that lends more drama to what to me is Rozsa's single greatest cue. I like it, and if it turns out to be James's swan song, it's not at all a bad effort to go out on.

Two years ago today it was happening at Smecky Studios.
