There's also a nice re-recorded suite (about 6 minutes) conducted by Nic Raine on the Silva Screen WALKABOUT album.

Love both film and score.

I remember reading in the London Evening Standard that in 1967 when he was filming 'Deadfall' in Majorca, Bryan Forbes had tapes of 'King Rat' and 'Seance On A Wet Afternoon 'which he listened to whilst driving around the island. He appears to have lost it since, but Forbes did have a copy of 'Seance'.

I'm telling you, it's the Barry Curse.

From memory, there's about 20 minutes, maybe 25. But I could be wrong. I've never sat down and timed it. (Though I used to have a cassette recorded off a broadcast of the film.)
You could have filled out an album with a couple of pop or jazz versions of the theme, plus the Wings Of A Dove piece, to maybe scrape a 30 minute album. And/or double it with the tracks from The L-Shaped Room. That'd have been a nice album.
But, no use speculating about something that can't happen now.
The trouble with Seance is it'd be damn difficult to create a true soundalike re-recording.
The Silva Screen job was remarkable given that difficulty.

By the way, I think film and score are powerful works.
It's a great, great film anyway. And the music dresses it perfectly. A truly magnificent pairing of sound and moving image.
A classic of 60s cinema.
Way more significant than some other, more fully scored films of the 60s.
Cheers
