John Barry‘s score to this 1974 romance/drama starring Julie Andrews and Omar Sharif was never officially released as a soundtrack and tapes were thought lost.

This also includes two different versions of ‘The End’ as performed by Danny Street, plus different versions of both main and end title themes. CD-only, it seems.
