Idea: Hey MoveAlong ... I have the Indiana Jones Story LPs

Author

 (Edited)

G’day from Australia. Since you have been doing the Star Wars Trilogy of Storybook LPs, I suddenly realised that I friend had some, if not all, of the Indiana Jones Storybook LPs, some of which I know I recorded onto tape (I remember distinctly having taped IJ2-ToD because I couldn’t get that annoying blonde screaming her dialog all the time out of my head etc). This would mean that IJ1 should also be there too, however I’m not sure if they ever did one for IJ3. So, until I physically hunt through my tape collection, I will risk everything by saying that I probably have all three of these Storybook LP recordings.

So, pending my confirmation of the existence of these recordings in my possession, I am wondering if you would like to take on the challenge of creating your famous video montages based on these 45 minute voice-over laden audio productions of the Indiana Jones Trilogy (bar one) in the vein of your spectacular (suck suck) Star Wars efforts. I’m sure a few fans out there would be keen on these.

btw, the tapes I used to record the original LPs were actually specialised computer-data Phillips cassettes (which were specifically designed to be the best available purely for the purposes of backing up data from mainframes), so the usually inherent problems of warble, wow and flutter are substantially minimised. I can’t be sure if I used Dolby NR to record them at the time, but I will undoubtably turn this feature on the tapedeck when transferring them to PC. If you any other suggestions as to how I can further improve the analog-to-digital transfer (hardware or software) then please let me know. I will let you know in a couple of days which ones I indeed have in my possession once I visit my parents house where I left these tapes in their trust. Take it easy. WG.

I have all 3 as well and mentioned them to him. he said he wasn't interested.

I could never do as good as job as he has so I'm not going to even bother trying. And if anyone else wanted to take a crack at it (no pun intended), I'd be happy to send you masters. Mine are the original vinyl.

Who knows, maybe after I finish the SW trilogy, I might want to take this on. It's probably going to be a few years before I could get to them at the pace I'm going now . These things just take me a long time. DF, I would like to get copies of these from you if possible, PM me. When I told you I wasn't interested, I had just finished SW and was a little burned out. I've kind of found my editing niche with this format and I think I'll want to continue this once the ovt (original vinyl trilogy) is complete. Here's what's on my list currently.

1) Empire needs to be authored. The edit is complete.

2) Jedi

3) SW v2 using X0 source material (praying) and 2.35:1

4) Indy trilogy???

If someone could do Indy justice before I could get to it, all the power to you!

You can go about your business. Move along, move along.

I could definitely get you copies. It's been a while since I listened to them but I know Last Crusade has some dialogue that was never in the movie. Now you make me wanna go listen to them again

The first two are on vinyl and the last is on CD.

At some point

I have all of the officially released Indy docos, plus some more bits and bobs, but I would need help from everyone if I am to really attempt this.

Please let me know what Raiders resources you have, particularly the audio and video resources.
Thanks

I would really wait until next year. I have a feeling we're going to have some re-releases on the DVD's and apparently Lucasfilm is readying a "making of" book on the trilogy. I'm sure there's a crapload more coming.

That was my intention but these things take a long time to create. I thought I might start collecting material now. Can anyone come up with a definitive list of behind the scenes video of Raiders?

          There is a video out there of BTS shooting of the airplane escape sequence from 'Raiders.' I believe it was shot by the pilot of the craft, and was 8 mm. The place and person I told you about yesterday, JD? He might have it, and I know for sure he has the other video I mentioned. Seriously, look him up - I'm sure he'd be glad to help, and his collection of 'Raiders' items is unsurpassed by anyone.

          DF, could you provide all three of these IJ Storybooks into a torrent, maybe on MySpleen?

          That's a thought. Does anyone do audio-only on myspleen? I don't believe I had seen that before.

          They did the MST3K Clowns in the Sky Volumes 1&2 (fanmade, but all audio nonetheless). So what if they wouldn't? Are we breaking any (more copyright) rules by posting something without a smidgeon of video in it? Do not let fear dictate your actions ... fear is the path to the darkside ... fear leads to anger ... anger leads to hate ... hate, leads to wanting to ignore your emotionally crippled father when all he does is shout at you for ...

          er, sorry, got a bit off tangent there .

          There are occasionally audio torrents. Before there was an official CD that came with the 4th season DVD set, there was a Home Movies soundtrack on there. Recently, there was a torrent of Year 1 of Penn Radio, Penn Jillette's radio show/podcast.

          I used to be very active on this forum. I’m not really anymore. Sometimes, people still want to get in touch with me about something, and that is great! If that describes you, please email me at [my username]ATgmailDOTcom.

          Hi everybody. You’re all awesome. Keep up the good work.
