Sinful Davey was a John Huston movie made in 1968, originally scored by John Barry but his score was replaced by one by Ken Thorne. Tapes are apparently lost following a flash flood at a storage facility near CTS Bayswater in London.
Just wondering if the John Huston estate might have tapes for the Ken Thorne score and/or it's John Barry replacement.

It could be worth enquiries being made by specialist labels. The rejected Barry score is, with Mister Moses' one of the leading Barry grails.

Thanks for your reply, Steven. The radio interview you mention was from August 1991. It was in two parts, I missed the first part because we were away on holiday but I did hear the second part where he mentions Sinful Davey but can't rememberl all the detail that you recall so thanks for that.

I am, of course, clutching at straws. John Barry's score has almost certainly gone forever but while there is even the remotest chance of a copy existing somewhere I feel it is worth mentioning on discussion groups such as this.
