Anyone ?
If you can wait a week or so, I could rip the complete CD again (including, of course, track 11), since I have the original CD. (Have to look for it first, which may take a few days…).
Either way, let me know what you prefer…

I could even wait a month for sure ! I guess your original CD will be a better source.
Man, that’s awesome… The rerecording is not bad at all but none can beat that Herrmann’s touch !
I believe many people will be VERY happy with your new FLAC upload of that rare gem !
Thank you very much in advance !
BTW, this bootleg sounds astonishlingy crisp and clear, for a bootleg, that is. Whoever was responsible for it, he did a good job! I was really happy when I was able to get a copy of it, 15 years ago, and for a reasonable price! On ebay, they are offered for about 35 US-$ these days…
Yes ! The source Tsunami used was the LP – and maybe the album master itself – that had been released in 1974 : that’s why it sounds so crisp and clear.
Great news ! I’m thrilled !
Great news ! I’m thrilled !
I don’t know which source they used, there are two LP versions. The first from 1974 which you mention (Sound Stage 2306) has two tracks (one on each side):
1. Marnie – A Symphonic Poem – Part 1 (25:08)
2. Marnie – A Symphonic Poem – Part 2 (26:05).
This LP has 51:13 min, as opposed to the 49:23 min of the Tsunami release, so this doesn’t seem to be the source.
The second LP release from 1975 (Crimson CR 101) has 24 tracks at 48:34 min., while the Tsunami CD has 49:23 min. with 20 tracks. This seems to be the source, at least the track names are identical. Tsunami chose to merge 8 of the 24 tracks into 4 tracks (The Morning After / Rutland Cottage and the three 2-part tracks "Obsessions 1 and 2", "The Nightmare 1 and 2", and "The Resolution 1 and 2"). That doesn’t explain the longer runtime, though. Maybe the LP was somehow speeded up, to get all the material on the two sides of the LP? That would mean Tsunami had access to the original masters and could re-arrange the tracks for the CD release. I will have to look after the LP rip I have on one of my drives, to verify this.
BTW, this weekend I plan to look after the Tsunami CD (which is still somewhere in my old room in my mom’s house, where I will be one of the next days!). Next monday or so I may be able to rip it and upload it for you. Stay tuned…

Very interesting : it would be great if you could enlight us. And I just love those soundtrack mysteries !

It will be good enough for some, and not for others. I don’t want to compete with you, I’m just going to provide an alternative, so everybody can pick what he wants! And, I wasn’t criticising your upload, just your wrong bitrate information. 😉
Yes sorry, i ve checked the wrong Herrmann file…
No harm done, my friend! 😉

Thanks in advance for FLAC!!!!!

Note: On page 3 of the booklet the text, which was copied from the 1975 LP (Crimson CR 101) ends in mid-sentence:
"… If "Marnie" with Herrmann’s music is undistguished [sic!], then "Marnie" without Herrmann’s" [end of text]
On the back of the LP the sentence continues: "… music would be unwatchable."
Funny, how Tsunami copied the text of the LP, INCLUDING the mistake ("undistguished" instead of the correct "undistinguished").
BTW, the LP had an additional chapter on its back ("The Story"). For those interested, I have added scans of the Crimson LP artwork (found it on the internet, it’s in rather low resolution!, sorry!)
Also added is a scan of a movie poster!

English isn’t Tsunami’s first language, so no surprise.

You’re quite correct, koala, it’s a German label!

Hey soundtrekker… would you happen to have the 1999 Paris Opera/James Conlon recording of Vertigo in FLAC?
No, just the 320 version which was uploaded recently.

This LP has 51:13 min, as opposed to the 49:23 min of the Tsunami release, so this doesn’t seem to be the source.

Okay, I have played both the main title from the LP rip (Crimson CR 101, 1:54 min.) and the Tsunami CD (2:04), and the LP track is indeed pitched up, compared to the Tsunami track! Now, what does it mean? The LP came first, so I think what happened was they decided to speed the tracks up by a factor of roughly 1.08 (that’s a speed-up of 8 %), to match the capacity of a LP. But now, we have a new mystery here: I did the math and reduced the 49:23 min. of the Tsunami CD by a factor of 8 %, and came to roughly 45:40 min, but NOT 49:23 from the LP. Now, that mystery was quickly solved: I looked at the LP tracks myself, and they added up to just 46:15 min, so the entry on soundtrackcollector.com is clearly a mistake (the LP Back cover, btw, doesn’t feature track names and length, so someone must have played the LP and made an error with the duration.) Now, that COULD mean the LP does have 30 or 40 seconds more material, so I compared the two releases track for track. That’s when I found another mystery: when comparing the 20 Tsunami tracks with the 24 Crimson tracks, there are the same track names (including some tracks on the LP being split up into part 1 and 2, as mentioned in one of my earlier posts, and one case of Tsunami merging two LP tracks names into one track), but several tracks (mostly the second half of the score) contain completely different music with different length compared to the Tsunami CD! I will have to study the scores further to determine if there is, indeed, some new material. In the end, this means, when Tsunami released the CD, they
1. sped down the music (this begs, btw, the question: was the LP speed correct in the first place? I have to check the DVD of the movie to answer that question. In that case, the Tsunami speed is, of course, too slow, but that wouldn’t make any sense, now, would it?)
2. arranged the tracks new, but didn’t change the track NAMES (maybe they didn’t care for the track names to make any sense; all they tried to do was probably arrange the tracks into the correct order, as heard in the movie – have to check that, too!)
If interested, I could upload the Crimson LP rip for further study.

I posted this yesterday in the Vertigo thread by mistake. Not sure what the source LP was, maybe a bootleg. I found this somewhere on the net.
1. sped down the music
That is amazing because I could have sworn the Tsunami actually had its music already sped up ! Not complaining at all, I’ve been enojoying that "blissing recording" for a few days now but, wow… that means the LP recording must quite a odd listening experience if it’s even fastest than the Tsunami !
If interested, I could upload the Crimson LP rip for further study.
You have already done so much that would be maybe too much to ask you to do that. But, to be honest, with all those mysteries I literally water !!! Have you done your LP rip already or does it mean you should do a rip from your Crimson LP ?

I don’t have the actual Crimson LP myself, just the ripped files themselves, as found in the internet. I will upload it, but, aside from the speeding up, its quality is quite horrible, to be honest. But, it’s part of the soundtrack history of Marnie, so it still has its merit, at least for study purposes. I will upload it shortly!
The tempi of Herrmann’s music as heard in the movies generally tend to be very fast; the original tempo for Psycho as conducted by Herrmann is the fastest of all the interpretations so far – all re-recordings of Psycho (including Herrmann’s own, as a matter of fact!) are slower! A pristine, re-mastered presentation of the original tapes from Psycho would be wonderful, but other than a rather mediocre bootleg from the Laserdisc we don’t have anything – that’s a shame!
The same, regarding the tempo of the original movie score, seems to be the case with Marnie – Herrmann’s own re-recording (his Decca recording of the suite with the London Philharmonic Orchestra from 1974) and the McNeely re-recording are slower too!

Yes, that idea also crossed my mind yesterday! But the Sound Stage 2-track LP has, according to soundtrackcollector.com, over 51 minutes, and your 33-track-rip adds up to only 48 minutes… now, again, it COULD have been sped up, couldn’t it? 😉
As long as nobody has a rip from the Sound Stage LP, all we can do is speculate!
Yes, the rerecording Herrmann did in the early 70s is rather disappointing if not boring, sorry to say that. And if one day you come across his rendition of Gershwin’s I GOT RYTHM on a Phase 4 LP you’ll just wonder yourself : "Hey ! There’s a typo ! It’s not I GOT RYTHM…should be I GOT NO RYTHM !
PSYCHO by McNeely is far more faithful to Herrmann’s spirit of rage and anger. Well, let’s wait and see. Some day the tapes will eventually leak as CAPE FEARs ones.[COLOR="Silver"]

You’re welcome, chalguss! 🙂 However, part 1 seems to be down (part 2 is okay) – can you confirm that? If needed, I can re-upload the complete album! 🙂
Part 1 is still down. Part 2 is still up.
Many Many Thanks!

Thank you for your consideration, my friend.
Glad for being able to help you, Nashwolverine! I always enjoyed the Tsnunami bootleg. For a bootleg, it has a fantastic sound and is the best representation of the original soundtrack so far.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
