THIEF OF BAGDAD (1940) ROZSA, MUSIC EFFECTS RAW

Criterion dvd included a one-channel, music/effects track. I have no interest in the music, but ripped it anyway for anyone who may want it and is willing to edit it. It has occasional chronic scratches or scraping where the normal movie audio would sound better, so I uploaded that one-channel track too.

If I were editing this, I would convert the ac3 files to wave, load both in Audacity and link them together as a 2-channel track. Then break into separate cues. Using headphones, you would hear the music/fx on one side, the movie on the other, and continually compare them. If a M/FX cue was badly damaged, you would also hear if the movie audio was a useable substitute or had too much dialog. For example, the song when the princess is being fanned in the garden is scratched, while the movie audio only has some light background noise and is preferable.

There is a 2014 UK blu-ray with a music/effects track, but I dont know the audio type or quality.

Each file is 147 MB.
