Intrada Soundtrack Forum

The version I am more familiar with on my LP is the longer version of Ol' Turkey Buzzard, a less pop-flavored and more dramatic version that ran 2:46.

It appears in the track listing in Wikipedia:



All of the other track timings match Intrada's. Many of the LPs that listed timings (not all did) stated (1:55) as the timing on the back cover. I still prefer the longer version.

I also prefer the longer version, the version they've put on the cd just doesn't sound right. I hoped someone would come forwards and say why this version was chosen, maybe it was the only one on the tapes, or possibly it was a choice the producer made. It's a shame the original version isn't on the cd, it spoils (for me) what would otherwise have been a perfect presentation of one of the best late 60's western scores.

I had no idea that the American LP soundtrack had a different version of the song.

However after listening to this version for 50 years or so;

I'm finding it hard to adapt, but I'll get there in a while.

It's an age thing.

My copy was pressed in Canada. The longer one that Chris and I prefer is the one that was actually used in the film (at 2:46):

Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to explain things clearly. After listening to the UK version for 50 years or so, I know you'll understand why the US version sounded strange to me.

It's a great release of one of my favourite late 60's western scores, and I'm sure that after a few more spins, I'll become used to the US version.

It is growing on me.
