Crew.Steve Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 I would be grateful if anyone with a copy of the 1993 EMI Vintage Sound Effects CD could scan/photograph the track listing and e-mail it to me. The theatre's copy has been lost and it would make life a little easier if I didn't have to guess what some of them are. Note: This is code # 077778075929 and is (AFAIK) no longer available, and not code # 743625704129 with the tram on the cover. I have tried EMI for the info, but was not successful, and a 'net search only gives the later (1996) version. Thanks if you can help --------Crew.Steve<players.technical [at] toucansurf.com>
themadhippy Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 silly idea but have you tried playing it on something like windoze media player,cant rember what settings you have to enable/disable,but it will try and download the track listing from a database
u_dakka Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 the trouble with the windows media player is that you have to make sure it has actually selected the right version. As the OP already said there were at least 2 versions made, WMP will probably select the latest one automatically especially if it's the more popular version andy
zonino Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 the way the database works though is it looks at the length of each track and the overall length of the CD, if the cd is a different version it should have a different series of track lengths etc

djw1981 Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 When you say contacted EMI, did you email them, write or just check the website? The other people to contact might be your local Library, who may be abel to find a UK Library with a copy which you could request, borrow and copy the track listing from.

Crew.Steve Posted April 17, 2007 Author Posted April 17, 2007 http://www.tagtuner.com/music/albums/EMI/V...s/album-v2831d2 This one? Yup, that one! Brilliant!! Thank you very much. So how come you could find it when I couldn't? Anyway, the site is now bookmarked for future reference. I knew someone here would have the answer! Thanks to all those who responded.
TomLyall Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 A couple of Google searches eventually found it (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22EMI+Vintage+Sound+Effects) A quick check with Amazon revealed it was different to the 1996 version you mentioned, but with the same title, so it was probably the one you wanted.
Crew.Steve Posted April 18, 2007 Author Posted April 18, 2007 A couple of Google searches eventually found it (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22EMI+Vintage+Sound+Effects) Interesting. I started out by doing that search on Google and viewed many pages of non-related stuff (vintage cars, sound financial planning, medicinal side effects, etc). This is the second time in recent weeks where a Google search has produced significantly different results on different occasions. Guess that's another topic, though!
