To those who know these things; do you think there’s any possibility of ‘South Pacific’ on DVD with an isolated track?
As a projectionist many years ago when the film was first released, I loved listening to the audience track of our 4 track stereo print, just for the background score & songs ‘sans vocals’. Even recorded some on an old reel to reel tape recorder, but sadly those tapes are long lost.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed isolated scores on DVDs of King and I, Carousel, & Camelot. Wish there were more musical ones. The Fox days were wonderful – not just for musicals. Every month it seemed there was new Friedhofer, Harline, Waxman, Herrmann, Young. or Newman. Eddie Powell’s orchestrations were always colourful, & I don’t believe the Fox orchestra sound has never been equalled.
Other studios & composers did great things too – of course; but for me it was likely to be the Fox sound that really sent chills up my spine.
Hell; I sound old.

Still active.
Yes. I listened - enraptured - an hour ago!
