freestate Group: Members Posts: 5 Joined: July 2000 Posted: July 31 2000, 11:23 Does anyone know why the Drunken Dialogue was left off the Remaster of TB? I bought the vinyl when TB was first released, and the remaster seems incomplete without the dialogue. -------------- freestate Back to top

CarstenKuss Group: Musicians Posts: 362 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: July 31 2000, 18:30 Hi freestate, if you refer to the "The Hallway, a great house true..." text (which is IMHO a drunken MONOlogue) the reason is (as I said somewhere else in this forum) the following: The 16-track recording of TB has the monologue, but it was not included in the original mix-down. So, no reMASTER of the original mixdown can include it (since mastering comes after mixing). The BOXED-mixdown has the monologue, so you have to get a BOXED record to hear it. I was angry, too, when I bought the remaster, and it didn't have the monologue. Without it, the Sailor's Hornpipe is a bit trivial, isn't it? -Carsten- -------------- -Carsten- Back to top

CarstenKuss Group: Musicians Posts: 362 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: July 31 2000, 18:34 Just a moment...! Are you sure you have an original vinyl WITH the monologue??? I never heard of that before!!! -Carsten- -------------- -Carsten- Back to top

freestate Group: Members Posts: 5 Joined: July 2000 Posted: Aug. 01 2000, 06:11 Thanks for the reply Carsten. Yes, I do have an original vinyl with the monologue. That's why I'm so disappointed that it's not on the remaster. Details are; L 35127 (label says LQ-35,127) Virgin Records 1974 Manufactured and distributed in Australia by Festival Records Pty. Limited, Australia. It's also quadrophonic ! Simon -------------- freestate Back to top

Arnold vO Group: Members Posts: 4 Joined: July 2000 Posted: Aug. 01 2000, 13:32 Hai, the boxed version of TB is a remix and quadrophonic. The original TB was NOT quadrophonic. So I think your vinyl version is infact the boxed version, probably released single. Back to top

Arnold vO Group: Members Posts: 4 Joined: July 2000 Posted: Aug. 01 2000, 13:35 Freestate, do you have the remaster 25th edition or the new HDCD version? Could you please give me the timings on part one and part tow (including sailor's hornpipe). Timings on TB (boxed) are part one 25:55 and part two 25:47. Back to top

freestate Group: Members Posts: 5 Joined: July 2000 Posted: Aug. 01 2000, 13:52 Thanks for the replies. I've got the 25th edition. Part 1 = 25:31 Part 2 = 23:20 Total time = 48:57 (there's a 6 second gap between parts 1 & 2. Simon. -------------- freestate Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Aug. 01 2000, 16:18 Two notes...a little bit off-topic. 1) I've got an Mp3 of the whole Sailor's Hornpipe (including the monologue). If anybody wants it, please let me know by emailing me at ugocoppola@infinito.it.I'll gladly zip and send it to him. 2) My CD version of TB (apart from the not-too-well remastered version on Elements) is CDV 2001. Its timings are: Part 1, 25:34 [despite the fact that on the cover it says 25:00!! ], Part 2, 21:44, Sailor's Hornpipe [Track 3, altough the cover does not list it and says "Part 2 (23:50)"!!], 1'33. The same for Ommadawn Part 2 AND On Horseback. [This message has been edited by Ugo (edited 08-01-2000).] -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

CarstenKuss Group: Musicians Posts: 362 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Aug. 01 2000, 19:33 I checked the discography at www.mikeoldfield.org (= Dark Star). It lists a number of Australian releases with codes L-35127 or LQ-35127. Some of those were quadrophonic. One of these must be yours, freestate. -------------- -Carsten- Back to top

freestate Group: Members Posts: 5 Joined: July 2000 Posted: Aug. 01 2000, 23:06 Many thanks for your efforts Carsten. Greatly appreciated Simon -------------- freestate Back to top

freestate Group: Members Posts: 5 Joined: July 2000 Posted: Aug. 01 2000, 23:58 Ok - checked out the discography and this is the copy I've got ; AUS: LQ 35127 red label with twins Quadro 70,- * (only L 35127 on cover, but missing "...Stereophonic...") -------------- freestate Back to top

rosko Group: Members Posts: 184 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Aug. 03 2000, 04:41 There is a copy of the Australia quadraphonic version in my house (not from boxed) and it doesn't include the Drunken version. It does however contain a recording of a model aeroplane after the original sailor's hornpipe. Back to top
