Graham Gouldman (10cc) - Animalympics master tapes, 1980

- Here are two master tapes of final mixes for Graham Gouldman's 1979 soundtrack album for the animated film 'Animalympics'.
Tape 1 consists of master mixes for side 2 of the album. But as it was mastered at 30 inches per second, we had to transfer it at our Revox machine's maximum speed of 15ips and speed up both the audio and video in post!
The second tape was mastered at the more usual 15ips, and to our ears sounds even more spectacular.
Mastered in January 1980 at Strawberry Studios South, Dorking. Original recordings engineered by Tony Spath, Larry Forkner, Alan Barson and Chris Nagle.
Tracks featured:
Tape 1:
Z.O.O.
Love's Not for Me (Rene's Song)
I Can Run Forever
Bionic Boar
Made It to the Top
Tape 2:
Love's Not for Me (Rene's Song)
Bionic Boar
Go For It
Huge thanks to The Strawberry Archive for permission to publish these tracks.

I co-wrote the film, did voices and was responsible for hiring Graham Gouldman too! BUT THIS IS RUNNING WAY WAY TOO FAST!
Wow! Great to hear from you. Yes, I had to capture it and half speed, then sped it up digitally. I think I did it 5% too fast! I will change this... Thanks.
Do you have any other tracks hiding in a cupboard somewhere, underwater fantasy etc?
Wow! Thank you for creating one of my fond childhood memories that I now enjoy sharing with my own kids. Your choice of Graham Goildman was inspired and totally made the movie.
I wasn´t a kid when I watched the movie for the first time, I loved it, loved the soundtrack, still is one of my favorites. Hey, I´m 63 yo.
This is so freaking awesome.
I came here cause my dad died recently. He was working at local LOEWE TV manufacturing for +50y until he retired 10y ago. And he copied this movie from LaserDisc to Video 2000 back in the days at work.
So this is some of the major music impacts I got as a kid.
And it sounds so much better than the "normal" ones...
Thanks!
Brilliant! This is such a fun time to be a 10cc/Stewart/Gouldman/Godley/Creme/Strawberry Studios fan.
Certainly is, Jen!
I have no words to describe what this music means to me. THANK YOU for sharing the masters (and yes, too fast!)
Thank you! :- )
@@smacreavy question, if I may: Do you think the stems might ever become available?
Thanks again for taking the time and care to create this project.
This is amazing. Makes these tracks come alive. Hopefully this will be the "incentive" to get this released properly on CD at some point. (If the other tracks are available as well). Thanks Seany Mac for the effort you make to fill the endless thirst for new 10cc and related material! Dig it Teen Idol!! DmGrk
Ta, Pany!
Still got the single, got the album...but the film never made to to my wee town in Scotland so it was years later that I was able to catch up.
I bought that album when it came out, there are some outstanding tracks on it.
Excellent, please keep them coming. Especially any earlier stuff - Original Soundtrack, How Dare You, Sheet Music related.
Thanks Phil! We'll try...
Thank you for getting these. What a treat. Nice to hear the original mix. They did a nice job tracking this.
Let's now hope the 4 other tracks turn up!
OMG … absolutely Awesome … sounds like an unreleased 10CC album .. no offence meant … brilliant .. the sound quality for 40 years ago is fantastic ..I saw them live twice .. .. they are still on my favourite playlists
Many thanks Sean
Greetings from thailand
No surprise there because when you read the credits on the LP cover, it's basically a 10cc album minus Eric Stewart!
On the vinyl inside cover the musicians are all listen under their first names as they are in 10CC albums. I know that Graham Gouldman wanted to release his Sunburn single ( which also featured all band members other than Eric) as a 10CC track. However, Eric- who was recovering from a car accident- objected. The movie people had wanted 10CC to do the soundtrack so under other circumstances it could have been release as a 10CC album and in fact it is a lot better than the subsequent 10CC album Look Hear. The same could have been done with Girls- the Eric Stewart soundtrack album that came out around the same time ( though not in the UK). It did feature the whole band including Graham. Half of it was written by Duncan McKay who was offended about it being released as a Stewart solo album. He was a really good composer having done a great solo album just before joining 10CC. It is a shame he didn’t write more 10CC stuff as his one writing credit on Bloody Tourists was excellent.
Outstanding. Thank you, Sean and company, for sharing and for the care and love with which you handle these treasures.
Our pleasure!
Sounds fantastic. You have done some fantastic work in giving the music the respect it deserves. Bravo
Thank you!
Amazing
Thanks for sharing a rare one. Made my day.
Fabulous 👏🏻
More gold! Thanks, Sean.
Hi Sean what a superb find. Thanks so much for uploading, I can't quite figure out how the pitch is correct, but the BPM is too fast, did you do something strange like time compression / adjust tempo in a DAW?
Yes, I made a mistake in the processing - sorry!
Maybe your copy is faster than this one..... ua-cam.com/video/54bbLOJAMx8/v-deo.html
With you i can run forever
With you i can run forever
'Cause you gotta be my inspiration
Side by side through every nation
We ride the world just like a roller coaster
As we take each road and we take each turn you bowl me over
'Cause you gotta be my inspiration
Together we can run forever
Through all the seasons we'll keep goin' on
Through the wind and rain and the morning dew
It doesn't matter baby where we are
With you i can run forever
With you i can run forever
We see the bright lights of the city
The colours change they re-arrange themselves
In different patterns
But it's too crowded in the city
And so we leave it all behind
Go on to other places
With you i can run forever
With you i can run forever
There's nothing we can't win together
With you i can run forever
With you i can run forever
With you i can run forever
it is definitely too fast!
My guess that there was some VSO introduced at some point. If recording at 15 ips it's a simple jump at twice the speed to correct for 30, so I doubt a speed tweak would happen there, though possible. The -5 cycles notation on the box may be a clue, though I've never seen VSO marked that way.
