    Great work on The Promise The 1977 base track and vocal "Recorded By, Engineer – Jimmy Iovine", The 2010 strings by Ken Ascher, Recorded By [Assistant] – Kevin Buell, Rob Lebret and Recorded By [Project Supervisor] – Toby Scott. Over 1 minute was cut from the original, and we know the engineers who worked on it in 2010. Thank you for all the excellent details. Discogs has more details on released recordings than any other source I have found.
