6. Bees Inside (06:04)
7. Don’t Take Him (02:32)
8. Exact Instructions (04:36)
9. A Boy’s Story (01:47)
10. End Title (03:05)

Nice upload!
I had only the 2002 Edition (27 tracks).
Thank you very much, my friend.

Thanks!

Thanks! 🙂

thanks!

How the heck did I miss this earlier!? Thank you SO much!!

I’ve just listened to the first and final tracts, and the audio quality is heads and thoraxes above the mess I wound up with trying to rip the LP myself. I was considering attempting to reproduce the LP cut from the recording sessions album (also from here) but lord only knows what sort of fresh hell THAT would have resulted in. (I’m happy to have the recording sessions and the Prometheus CD, but yeah–the LP cut trimmed by Goldsmith himself is the best for your general listening.)

The LP cover with the hilarious anecdotes by Allen’s publicist, Tony Habeeb, is also deeply appreciated!

Thank you for this work … any plans to release it in lossless?

Of course the LP selections are not from the recording sessions or the Prometheus CD, so this LP is essential. Check out the superior version of "The Bees Picnic" from the LP.

many thanks

many thanks! /o/

I wasn’t very clear: I was thinking of trying to EDIT tracks from the recording sessions into a facsimile of the LP cut. Had SOME success with an afternoon’s twiddling around, but it just wouldn’t have been the same (and purists would’ve had my ass for lunch). Thankfully, it’s now a moot point.

Thanks!

many thanks.

I have that LP somewhere in my collection, but haven’t heard it for decades. Now I’ll be able to play it again. Thanks! 🙂

My LP copy, which hasn’t been played in something like 25 years, is stored in a basement 1415 miles from my current location; that, and I wouldn’t be able to play it anyway without reinvesting in a turntable.

So a big THANK YOU to worksofare.

A Goldsmith action classic.

Never heard this one … so maybe another Goldsmith gem to discover , a big thank you for allowing me to expand my collection !

The Prometheus 27 track version is quite nice.

Woem.
