Here is the complete score for Raise The Titanic by John Barry – this is the original score but has been extracted from a 5.1 soundtrack source but still contains dialogue (some digital editing has been attempted without damaging the score) but dialogue and sound effects still remain.
Please do NOT expect a perfect score, if that’s what you want, get the Nic Raine version. I have done my best, please respect that. This released was based on initial feedback that too much editing had digitised too much of the score and made it unusable. This has been lessened in this version. There are only a few tracks with no sound effects or dialogue present, they have been left clean. Where sound effects were found to be loud, some editing has attempted to lessen these, again attempting to keep the score as "pure" as was possible.
DO NOT EXPECT A PERFECT SCORE, THIS IS NOT IT. This is the best I have been able to achieve.
This score has a lot to live up to …. I will forever be searching for a clean score, but in the meantime, this is my offering.

I did forewarn of what I had to do to remove the dialogue. If it’s that bad I’ll completely remove it.
I’ve not finished downloading it yet but I do know I wanna punch Spoliansky in the face.
What an abusive ungrateful asshole.
The time and effort may not have given the best results but its FREE.
U Spoliansky, are a world class jerk.
I understand how important this score is. I don’t mind sharing it, and I don’t mind that I will likely take negative feedback on what I’ve done, but for me, it’s as close as I’ll get to having the original score.
I am off to look for alternative sources and better ways of removing dialogue from music …. all still may not be lost and this may be just the first version (hopefully).

It’s messy, but I hope some areas can be improved on.
If you let me have feedback on what’s worst I’ll go back to the drawing board, I suppose this is WIP and I need everyone’s input (good and bad)
It reminds me of the first betamax copy of star wars dad got in the Philippines in 1978.
Its rough and crazy and I like the geiger counter noise 🙂
I appreciate the work and effort, onward and upward with your next efforts.
This is, as you said, an important score in the Barry canon.
Once removed it will be one of my favorite "lost classics"
I’ve got it in my Raise The Titanic folder right along with the OST and audio book and some sad pics of the original scale model rotting away on some island.
Anywho.
TY sir.
please, take some moments of your life and READ the thread
For those who have the first copy, here is what I had to work with — this is the left and right channels of the 5.1 extracted mix. The centre and rear left/right contain exactly the same.
Sample Track [Damn Big Ballpark] (https://mega.co.nz/#!flY2lJoJ!mtB05t_RJz8kk3jUeD3WlvvgNsEhbuGLeXZ9kPE 0BfA)
So this was a nice attempt, but it seems that it was not very succesful.
Nevertheless, thanks for trying hyperjase.
Sincerely I really don’t care much about rips with SFX, perhaps this was not the right choice for your efforts, although I may suggest one Barry score that you can try and get better results: "Dances with Wolves" (the Extended Version), it cries out for an Expanded Release, but in the meantime I will definitely give it a try if you can do it, it’s the perfect score for this treatment, there’s a lot of Music with minimal dialogue and SFX.
And who knows, someone may yet find the missing tapes for Raise The Titanic. A lot of missing material has shown up in recent years.
As he should have been. Interesting that spoiler gets banned ans lizard nerd shows up expressing the sam sentiments, as if he could do ANY better. I do not care for rips myself, but I do understand and appreciate the effort that goes into them (and iso scores, Cal). Instead of just ripping him a new one, what not offer tips and advice on how to improve? Or, do none of you actually know how to do it yourselves?
I have sights on other ways of trying to make this work. If all else fails to stop eejits like this, the original, non-edited/altered score will be posted.
My issue is the Blu-Ray is Region A, I’m in Europe so region B, I have had to sort out from a different source, but it is the DTS track (6 channel) from the Blu-Ray. I may try extracting the channels again with different software to see if that helps any. I was hoping the 5.1 mix would be a true mix but if there is no reliable source what they’ve done is the next best thing (essentially spread out stereo between all the channels, centre being focused on dialogue, left and right focusing on music and sfx (but also contains dialogue in the versions I’ve found) and the rear channels are a mix but become mono.
I’m going to test a sample track (the Damn Big Ballpark track above) with a different audio editing software to see if that can help.
I shall keep you posted, BUT if there is a better quality release, the link won’t be publicly available, for obvious reasons (I would never share anything with this user if my life depended on it….)
:awsm:
This score is a Holy Grail to me. It amazes me that Barry could be so negative about his own music. I understand that when "Somewhere in Time" was released and flopped at the box office that a similar choice was made regarding a soundtrack. It was not until after the film found a huge audience on cable the following spring that a soundtrack recording was commissioned by MCA. His equally stunning scores for "Body Heat" and "High Road to China" were also ignored and indeed bootlegged in very high quality by John Lasher at Southern Cross records.
I know that the original music mix down tapes for "Raise the Titanic" were lost when AFD, the film’s distributor went out of business and all materials were auctioned off. More than likely the tapes were recorded over due to the expense of blanks in the UK at the time. I spoke with Mr. Lasher about this in the early 80’s and he told me he had been searching for them with no luck. If indeed they are lost it is one of the great tragedies of film loss in our lifetimes. It amazes me that no-one, NO ONE involved in the recording, mixing and editing of the music for this film seems to have kept just a two track reel to reel of it. A very sad loss indeed.
Are you sure? I have never heard of such an item.
There are two singles for RAISE THE TITANIC, but neither of them contain music from the original soundtrack. One contains a re-recording of the main title (which also appears on one or more Japanese film theme compilation LPs from the early 1980s). The flipside is an instrumental theme inspired by the film (by Keith Morrison, if I recall correctly) called "Titanic Forever." The other 45 has a picture sleeve with a painting of the Titanic underwater in the process of being raised, which appears on the cover of the Japanese pressbook and on some of the movie posters, and contains the "Titanic Forever" cut as well as a terrible VOCAL version of the same theme, performed by a singer identified only as "Oscar."
How do you know there are limited, Japanese theatre only copies?
And why haven’t they emerged in the meantime?
I’m reall, really curious.

I think we have all consigned ourselves to the fact this will never show up … I have a look on eBay regularly and have seen the two Japanese singles but never seen anything else.
I’m making slow, steady progress. It may be that dialogue remains but a considerably lower volume, unless a vinyl copy appears or whatever else, this may be the closest.
Meanwhile, I’m checking for these potential Japanese vinyl theatre only copies.
Not entirely true. In regards to SOMEWHERE IN TIME, the original LP was released in 1980 in conjunction with the opening of the film. I saw the movie during its first-run week (as I did for almost all movies back in that era; I worked at a movie theater, and reciprocal courtesy admission was extended to all employees of all local theaters), and bought the album shortly thereafter, probably within the same week.
But back on topic.
Good luck with your continued endeavors, Hyperjase!!!
And I even searched in Japanese, so…

I agree. I have never seen the LP release though I did find those horrible 45 rpm releases in a store in L.A. about 20 years ago. The LP I read about some time back in a soundtrack thread shortly after Barry’s death. It seems that it was rumor as the original writer also stated he had never seen it either. It does make some sense though unlikely as the story is. The Japanese at that time did a soundtrack for everything. I still hold out hope that a copy will surface one day.
Nothing, so far. there is absolutely nothing to be found anywhere about a theatre only japanese LP …
And I even searched in Japanese, so…
I read that Lucas Kendall over at FilmScoreMonthly had tried to find the archive material but could find nothing.
I’m assuming from this point, we’re on our own trying to get a score created/released.
no link as of yet first version was unusable. This thread is WIP.

misinformation…only a collector vinyl 45rpm was edited in Japan theme "Raise the titanic" and orchestred by…Larry Nelson not John Barry original soundtrack.
Original master is lost…
😉
Hey guys, when i was working in Japan i had picked up a 45 rpm record from Raise the Titanic.
It’s a vocal song called "Titanic Forever"
East World records 1980 Toshiba EMI. Produced by Rally Hillstone Jr.
A Side:"Titanic Forever" (4’26") sung by Oscar (EWS-17072-A)
B Side:"Titanic Forever" (4’46") Keith Morrison Orchestra (EWS-17072-B)
Lyrics:They Left South Hampton with the tide
Sailing for the new world with their dreams
Leaving their family and their friends
Casting any doubts into the wind
The ocean blue met the sky
All were one with heaven for a time
On seas of glass their games were played
While waiting in the darkness their fate
Titanic, sailed away, into the night
to disappear, beneath the waves
Her Majesty, a mystery
As somewhere on the ocean floor
Wanting to unlock her door
She calls to the brave
To open the grave
To us all
Titanic, sailed away, into the night
To own the sea, forever
A thousand souls,lay by her side
to this day, and forever
Though some would live to sail again
None can quite forget the tragic end
The sight of loved ones left behind
Will stay forever licked in their minds
The cover of the 45 was all black with silver inset border surrounding the RtT illustration of the ship pulling up with all the sea bed sand coming off its fore deck and surrounded by the lighted submersibles. Silver writing just underneath the silver border says in English: "Raise The Titanic" and underneath in Japanese, "Titanic Forever" in that wavy font.
Ive listened to this once long ago and its music was not the John Barry theme with lyrics.
I do have a working turntable (haven’t used it in ages though) but no 45 rpm plastic disc that goes into the record to hold it on the turntable. Still, further i don’t have the means to record it and upload it here.

Check first special feature on upcoming UK BluRay release
Keep up the great work. Perhaps a two track mixdown master might be found somewhere but until then we have you and your dedication. Thanks a million.
I need to extract the Blu-Ray which I will do asap (despite the fact I don’t actually have a Blu-Ray drive!) and post what I’m able to.
It appears they’ve done a massive job of resurrecting what score still exists!
