2010 looks like being THE year for soundtrack releases.
Indeed:
BLACK SUNDAY, BULLITT, PROPHECY, THE CAR, ISLANDS IN THE STREAM, THE SPIRAL ROAD, DRAGONSLAYER, SPARTACUS, POLTERGEIST, THE GOONIES, ROBOCOP, STAR TREK III - THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK, OUTLAND, MARATHON MAN, THE PARALLAX VIEW, THE CINCINNATI KID, THE VENETIAN AFFAIR, WHITE LIGHTNING, GATOR, STRAW DOGS, THE TAMARIND SEED... seems already like soundtrack heaven (some of the above not yet confirmed though)!
NP: Lalo Schifrin: THE VENETIAN AFFAIR

C'mon boys, you can do it - give "Tamarind Seed" to the people! It really is a major, MAJOR gap in the Barry discography! (When a score like "Mike's Murder" sees the light of day and not this one... ah, well...)
It's better than MIKE'S MURDER- almost anything is.

The story, I believe, goes that Barry gave a cassette copy of the score to a fan way back in the '70s. (i.e. don't assume Barry has a copy now.)
What is interesting is that this had an alternative take of the main title theme.
I believe Peter is correct about the Silva Screen story.
Is there a chance? There's always a chance. But right now, I think the score is on the missing list.
Of course, a label could officially do something from the cassette source. Hey, can't be any worse than using acetates, which has been done before.
Yes, though this assumes the original cassette source is available. Some of the tracks on the unofficial CD that I've heard sound as though they've been "improved" in some way, so I think it would be preferable to get as close to the masters as possible.
Incidentally, as far as I know the masters are still on the missing list.

More than 3 years later (although I wasn't here back then) and I'm STILL waiting for the music from "The Tamarind Seed." There's a nearly 10 minute suite in the 2-CD set "Zulu," but I continue to long for the soundtrack. Used to be able to stream the movie through Netflix and they had a pretty good copy of it, but was overjoyed when it was finally released on DVD. Someone singled out Anthony Quayle, who is wonderful (have always loved him), as is Daniel O'Herlihy, not to mention Julie Andrews and Omar Shariff. Plus there's the delicious Oscar Homolka as the grizzled old (and rather befuddled) KGB chief! But those of us who love the music (and not everyone here does) long to have it! (I notice that Amazon has the "Zulu" 2-CD set with this suite, but they won't let you buy that cue separately -- it's one of those ALBUM ONLYs.)

johnbijl Re: "The Tamarind Seed" and "That said, I'd jump on a release of the original score of course."
In the new posting on possible new releases in 2014, someone seems to feel that we may finally see a release of the soundtrack. Hope springs eternal!

"The Tamarind Seed" has finally been released on DVD in the U.S., as part of a bargain priced "two-fer" no less.

Interesting. I guess it was close to 2 years ago that I bought it, which, now that I look more closely, appears to be a Korean release from 2008. I had no problems with it and probably won't buy it again. The picture looks decent and the audio is Dolby stereo, although when I watch it on my new universal Blu-ray player I have a 6" inch border on both sides and a 5 1/2" border on the bottom and top, taking away at least 12" of my 55" inch screen's potential, which is frustrating.
Follow-Up: There seems to be this double pack that recently came out with "Brief Encounter" and "The Tamarind Seed." Wonder if that's the one that was mentioned here?
And to Steve Johnson re "It's better than MIKE'S MURDER - almost anything is."
I have you know I have a sentimental attachment to "Mike's Murder" (starring Debra Winger and Mark Keyloun) and have come close to buying the movie a few times, although the DVD seems a mite over-priced. Have long had the soundtrack LP, though I've not played it in DECADES!!!

Incidentally, the only reason I bought the LP of the "Mike's Murder" soundtrack was because it had 3 songs by Joe Jackson and a friend at work was a huge Joe Jackson fan and I promised to record them for him -- and I don't recall the John Barry music was used much in the movie.,

Mitch: On topic: The Tamarind Seed score is so very good ... I continue hoping for a release (even more than a release of Raise the Titanic).
Right, or a release of Don't Raise The Bridge Lower The Water. Or the hilarious Start The Revolution Without Me. The latter was soooooooooo funny, with Hugh Griffith, though it starred Gene Wilder and Donald Suthernald as mismatched twins and I have fond memories of John Addison's music.
And shortly after posting the above I bought the "Mike's Murder" DVD.
