Someone sent me an almost complete 'Alamo' original soundtrack cassette way back in the early 90's. just after we had discovered a TODD-AO print in Toronto. To say there is much more than the Sony re-release is a vast understatement. The cassette I have which is minus dialogue and most sound effects alone contains nearly 90 minutes of music. The Tadlow recording is sensational. I've kept a tight rein on this cassette I have because I don't want to see it pirated but I did loan it to Tadlow at James Fitzpatrick's request to help them restore some score sequences which they were attempting to transcribe from SFX-heavy film tracks.
And a great help at the actual sessions your cassette was in terms of helping form the new recording and performance...many thanks for that
That's what I meant a few posts back, Bob. They got to hear your cassette and gleaned the info needed to correctly interpret Dimitri's method. And by the way, it's interesting to know that kind of effort went into creating the release - flesh and blood to digitial, so to speak!
In his efforts Bob has been an ALAMO champion of both the score (which resulted in Tadlow's magnificent re-recording) and the film (his discovery of a long-"lost" print resulted in its complete presentation on Laserdisc).
