That's amazing! Given how hard it is to license from the ITC catalog this is like a double miracle.

"tracks selected" for this release. So, after four decades and finally finding tapes, only selections???
I wonder if they found any other tapes for other scores while looking where ever they looked.

Perhaps the album is being produced by Thor.

Already ordered it. Very good news. One of the few Blake Edwards films not scored by Mancini. Nice song, too.

I believe I got this version. It is just a OK Version…But the Best Version was on You Tube…That someone rip’s from the Isolated DVD. It was Better than this version.
This was probably ripped from that website that downloads soundtracks…where I gets all my soundtracks. A great site.
But The Tamarind Seed by John Barry is a Very Good Soundtrack.

Silva Screen have been sitting on The Tamarind Seed for years. I really do mean years. I first heard they were doing it at least ten years ago, long before the Network DVD/BR came out with the isolated score.
My understanding for why they didn't release it at the time is they were holding out for better elements. Did those better elements show up? Or did they decide better elements were never going to show up?
If the score is not going to be presented complete (and are we sure it isn't?), maybe it's because they couldn't secure elements of sufficient quality for some bits.
John Barry gave a cassette of some of the score to a fan back in the 70s. It's interesting in that this cassette only had the original, not used, version of the Main Title.
Then Network in the UK put out a complete set of recordings on the isolated score track of their DVD/BR, but it was sonically compromised in places.
My rip from the Network disc is 31 tracks running 62 minutes not including the alternate main title, so that must be the benchmark for how complete the Silva Screen recording is.
My rip of the cassette source is 12 tracks running 24 minutes and remember this includes the alternate main title.
I don't know what elements Silva Screen got.
Remember though that a lot of The Tamarind Seed is source music. It's also possible Silva Screen thought some of the source music isn't that interesting.
Cheers

I've also just noticed that the track titles on the SEA listing are the track titles I made up when I ripped the Network DVD/BR iso score for my own use. I mean, I know some titles are obvious and are what anybody would have come up with, but titles like Napalm Boat are not what everybody would have picked.
Well, I do remember posting my track titles in several places over the years, so that's kinda nice to see.
Cheers

I will no doubt have a suite or theme - or both - of this on some of the many John Barry CD compilations I have acquired down the years (the Blue Box 4CD set and a Slim Case 6CD set from Silva being my favourite Go-To's).
And like most other Barry scores, it will probably be enough for me.
Unlike other composers, who, when watching films they had scored in the past (Williams, Goldsmith, Horner, JNH, Elfman, Broughton...) I would always hear music I loved and wanted that wasn't on the LP/CD, whereas Barry always gave me more than enough on whatever was released at the time.
There's probably only KING KONG which I can honestly say I love in its expanded edition.
And I can get through THE LION IN WINTER and THE LAST VALLEY in their original forms.
Most other scores by him would be whittled down by me, to get rid of some very slow suspense cues or boring tension cues.
That's probably why I always loved PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED so much, as the 25 minutes made available first time around were perfect.
Same with SOMEWHERE IN TIME.
His music is the most ideal, for me, in the Suites & Themes format.
Probably more so than any other film composer I can think of.
