The Bounty – Vangelis – 1984 – (Audio Restoration Project)

This is just a project I did to make this soundtrack listenable, it is far from perfect (due to poor sources and the fact that I am no professional)

March 2017 Update: In the future I plan on revisiting this project (better sources, more tracks, and more skill)

Enjoy

THE LAST 3 TRACKS GOT MESSED UP, I WILL BE FIXING SOON

So SORRY

I’m looking forward to hearing the end result!

Great work so far! Thanks for sharing!

Look forward to hearing the result. Loved the movie and the score.

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you… waiting for more

thank you for the link !

Incredible work – never heard these tracks in such a good quality ! Congratulations for this…

This is all sounding great! How is track 6 progressing?

Many thanks gcyork.

This soundtrack seriously needed someone to give it the attention it deserves. I am looking forward to the finished product.

Are there any plans to tackle the full "Deserters" track, as well as the first part of the "Forbidden Love" (aka "Turning Point") track?

Re: Deserters — I only have one source for the full track, but I will be doing what I can for an "Extended" version
(quality might match "The H.M.S. Bounty (Part 2)")

Re: first part of "Forbidden love" — I will look into it

At this point in the project I am trashing everything (ouch) and starting over, using everything I have learned to do the best I can

so updates will be slow, but they are on the way

Don’t know why you are trashing it because it sounds SPECTACULAR to my ears! Thanks for your hard work.

Well I just want to redo it while being a little more precise

I have learned quite a bit while doing the project and want to apply that to all the tracks

Re: Deserters — I only have one source for the full track, but I will be doing what I can for and "Extended" version
(quality might match "The H.M.S. Bounty (Part 2)")

Oh, I’m just inquiring about the cue when it starts from Bligh’s line of dialog: "The ship is filthy, Mr. Christian, look for yourself! Look, there. And there!" All the way to Bligh’s rant about his stolen coconuts

So far so good! 😉

Thanks.

Update on "Deserters": It turns out that I do totally have both sources for this track (oversight early on in the original project), I will go ahead and do it next

No worries! You’re doing great work; I’m especially looking forward to the second part of "Cape Horn"

O you make me laugh 🙂 that track is the one that is going to be the hardest in the project, so I most likely will save it for last

Let us know how/if we can help 🙂

JUST KIDDING 🙂

Thanks for the offer 🙂 but I don’t mind finishing

Oh… I’ll gladly help for half of "that" content if you need. 😉

Great work and thank you kindly for sharing!

I have heard the first bunch of tracks, and they sound as great as they can…. knowing the limitations of the sources.
Very pleasant listening, much more than the old bootlegs and the BSX re-recording. NO native chants, and that’s good, but i think that some track of percussions could fit well.

Basically Finished (I think a little volume fixing is needed)

Feel free to leave some feedback, are there any tracks that sound bad to you? let me know, thanks

Enjoy

Thanks so much for the hard work, and for sharing the fruits of your labor with us!

Your efforts on this project are to be commended. I have yet to listen to the last few tracks but what I have heard so far is absolutely superb. Well done.

Thanks for the share !

Listened to the first half last night, and it is the best version of the soundtrack I have heard. Well done!

Many Thanks!!

This is excellent GCYORK. I am very pleased with the final outcome, however an official release by Vangelis would be equally welcomed. Many thanks GCYORK.

I must say that I have experienced a good listening.
It’s all very well balanced.
This is what it is, only a good stereo master tape could provide a better score.
A WORK VERY WELL DONE.

Thanks you for your work on this. Much appreciated!

Many thanks for your great work !!! I have always enjoyed Vangelis music

Nice work, enjoying this a lot, many thanks 🙂

Thanks! I look forward to giving this a listen.

So, gcyork, I couldn’t help but notice, will there be no attempt to tackle the "Forbidden Love" or "Discipline" tracks?

Brilliant!

So, gcyork, I couldn’t help but notice, will there be no attempt to tackle the "Forbidden Love" or "Discipline" tracks?

Ah you have something I don’t, "Discipline" is not in the version I have, which is this
The Bounty, SoundtrackCollector.com (http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/title/8559/Bounty,+The) (the one under bootlegs).
I see that on vangelis-rarities.com there are 5 versions listed, sadly the only one I have is the above
(I am very Interested in getting hold of anything I can)

Re: "Forbidden Love"
well here is my thought process
as I see it this 8:44 track has four parts (at least the version I have)

0:00 – 1:00 The bootleg and blu-ray have the native drums in the way
faded mix
1:00 – 1:41 song
faded mix
1:41 – 3:40 The bootleg and blu-ray have the native drums in the way
3:40 – 8:44 only in bootleg so not much to work with (sounds a lot like Main Title to me)

but give me an idea what you are looking for and I can try

Not at all, "Discipline" is in the isolated score, it’s the cue when Liam Neeson’s character gets whipped for desertion; 3:40-8:44 of "Forbidden Love" is this cue

And also, in "Forbidden Love", the native drums are actually part of the original score, as heard in 0:00-1:00 and 1:41-3:40

Thanks very much for your efforts with this.

Many thanks !

Thank you very much for your work, gcyork

Many thanks!

Thank you! Very impressive work.

Great job, thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you! Downloading now and very much looking forward to your restoration. Thaks for taking all the time and trouble!

Thanks!

Any chance of a re-up?

Can this be re-upped please?

Sadly It is not longer available! 🙁

Don’t Worry, I will get this back online soon
