Hey everyone - To follow-up from yesterday, all NBC videos archived and uploaded onto UA-cam from 1996 are in mono (and it’s possible our local broadcast was also in mono), so I did some digging to see if there was actually a stereo version of the NBC Olympics opening theme or not from the time. NBC studio was already in stereo after making the transition from mono in 1988 for the Seoul Olympics. It turns out the original file (from 1992) was in stereo and this track you hear here was released as part of an internal CD not available to the public. Their version, as I remember, was different from the official Bugler’s Theme/Olympic Fanfare in that we only hear the timpani in the beginning and not the cymbals and tubular bells. This theme was, of course, re-used in 1996 and 2000.
This is probably the closest to hearing that Dolby Surround (tag you see on the bottom right). Hope you all have fun with this one and I am looking forward to the upcoming Paris Games 🇫🇷
