Somebody got fired... Neil speaks the truth. The film version of "Lapti Nek" was lost when the master tapes were sent out to remixers for the 12" club single and the Sail Barge music was lost after the master tapes were sent to the producers of From Star Wars to Jedi.
This has happened to the soundtrack tapes of both Wendy Carlos music and some dialogue for Tron, although the music was later recovered by Carlos herself on an old tape. Also like the trims made on 2001 A Space Odissey after the premier, that were misshandled and are now lost forever. Losing audio tracks and film is rather common on film production, and has happened on several ocasions. The first ALTAIR prototype ever built, the first real personal computer, was lost due to a strike at a shipping company in New York City, was misplaced and is now also lost forever.
