I was able to get a copy of the 1982 Kostal recording of Fantasia, and would like to mix it back into the video from the new Blu-ray. ... If anyone has Deems Taylor recordings, that would be great as well.
This showed up on eBay and I was expecting someone to mention it ... so I guess that'd be me:
FANTASIA - DISNEY - 16MM - EXCELLENT+ FUJI ORIGINAL!! MYLAR!!

* I started collecting film in 1973. Out of the 4 Fantasia prints I have owned, this one is by far the best.
* This 1977 FUJI print clocks in at around 116 min. In all these years, I have never seen a 125 min. roadshow print in 16mm (extra commentary by Deems Taylor). I have been told that the roadshow version was never printed in 16mm.
* Original Deems Taylor narration. This print includes Deems Taylor's own voice instead of overdubbing by another actor as later versions do.
It's $500 starting bid may not be worth it for this preservation, but there it is.
