Jonnye959 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 I have this JJ remix on acetate, never released, I'm looking for a buyer if anyone's interested, one off copy to a good home...
Neuro Posted May 27, 2012 Report Posted May 27, 2012 Thanks for the sample Jonny. If anyone is interested, the acetate appears to be a one-off double-sided Evolve test pressing of: Gladiator feat. Izzy - 'Now We Are Free' (Original Mix) [Evolve] Although not the elusive Jules version, it sounds in near mint condition so it definitely deserves a good home and might be a good opportunity for someone to nab a bit of steel as opposed to the usual vinyl
FuzzY-LogiC Posted May 28, 2012 Report Posted May 28, 2012 bummer! Just had my hopes up... naive, I know Guess that would have been pure Utopia if it was really Jules' version :oddcake:
Jonnye959 Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Posted January 18, 2015 Right then I have had a revisit of this and I am convinced that the tune I have is different from the gladiator feat izzy as mentioned above, I have listened to the track on YouTube and don't think it is the track I have on acetate... I think the best thing for me would be to ask if anybody has the gladiator tune that JJ played, the elusive one that is so coveted and see if the one I have is the same, so I shall ask now in the hope someone can help, does anyone have a sample of said track? I am convinced I have the acetate of it and need to confirm!

Hi you can download the set he did on 29.4.2001 live from Qontact and then listen to the last track which is Jules's own version of Gladiator. Here is the link address http://www.judgejulesarchive.co.uk/archives/board/index.php?/files/file/189-2001-04-29-judge-jules-live-from-qontact/ He also played it again live @ Homelands in 2001 but think this is a slightly different version of his own mix. http://www.judgejulesarchive.co.uk/archives/board/index.php?/files/file/206-2001-05-26-judge-jules-live-from-homelands/ Here is a link to the discussion about Jules's version of Gladiator. There are also other discussions regarding this subject but haven't got time to look for them. http://www.judgejulesarchive.co.uk/archives/board/index.php?showtopic=4114 found another one for you http://www.judgejulesarchive.co.uk/archives/board/index.php?showtopic=24&hl=gladiator
Jivemaster Posted January 23, 2015 Report Posted January 23, 2015 I've contacted both Paul Masterson and Darren Tate and both say that they did not do a version of Hans Zimmer - Now We Are Free with Jules.....the plot thickens!!
Chrissie Brown Posted February 5, 2015 Report Posted February 5, 2015 The plot doesn't thicken as Jules did his own version of Gladiator which was rejected by Hans Zimmer. Darren Tate did his own version titled "Now We Are Free" which had nothing to do with Jules. Jules talked about it on his own radio 1 show ( Darren Tate's version) as at the time the artist was unknown so there was speculation it was Jules's version. Jules confirmed it wasn't his on his show. As previously stated if you look back on some of the discussions on this forum all should become clear :thumbsup:
Jivemaster Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 From what I have read, the Hans Zimmer bootleg was done by Jules and Paul Masterson - Jules didn't produce that bootleg entirely on his own. After contacting Paul, he confirmed that he didn't do it and also double checked with Darren who did his own cover of it which we all know as it was released. My point is that both producers (who worked with Jules on numerous occassions) did not make the bootleg with him hence the plot does thicken because we don't know who did!
Chrissie Brown Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 My point is that both producers (who worked with Jules on numerous occassions) did not make the bootleg with him hence the plot does thicken because we don't know who did! I'm confused now :confused: . Are you referring to the "JJ remix on acetate" or Jules's own version of Gladiator that he played live @ Homelands and @ Qontact. in April and May 2001? Jules explained in great detail on his R1 show that he had done his own versions of Gladiator which he wasn't allowed to play any more as Hans Zimmer didn't like it. As far as l'm aware he didn't do these with anyone else they were all his own work.
Jivemaster Posted March 20, 2015 Report Posted March 20, 2015 I'm referring to Jules's own version of Gladiator featured @ Homelands, Qontact and also played at Gatecrasher. What I am trying to say is that Jules would have had a co-producer to support him on the production of that bootleg and I was given to understand that it was either Darren Tate or Paul Masterson - neither of whom made that specific bootleg with Jules so it must have been someone else.
Jivemaster Posted March 20, 2015 Report Posted March 20, 2015 Also was Jonnye959's copy Jules's acetate in the end?
Neuro Posted March 21, 2015 Report Posted March 21, 2015 Also was Jonnye959's copy Jules's acetate in the end? I can confirm it wasn't unfortunately. From memory it was an early test pressing of Darren Tate's version - definitely not the elusive Jules Qontact/Homelands version. See my post above
JasonB Posted March 22, 2015 Report Posted March 22, 2015 I assume this?: http://www.discogs.com/Gladiator-Now-We-Are-Free/release/236258 Which never came out proper on the full release

Apologies Jivemaster l didn't know that Jules would have needed a co-producer, l just assumed Jules had put it together himself. Just out of interest why would Jules need a co-producer to support him on the production of that bootleg?
JasonB Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 He might not of. Just at that time period and previously he was well known with working with soemone else when producing a lot I guess.
Chrissie Brown Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 I wrote to Jules back in Nov 2003 and asked him about his mix of Gladiator and his reply was " I'd love to release the Gladiator mix l did, but it could cause me significant legal difficulties, which is aggro l can do without"

Apologies Jivemaster l didn't know that Jules would have needed a co-producer, l just assumed Jules had put it together himself. Just out of interest why would Jules need a co-producer to support him on the production of that bootleg? Around the time that he released that bootleg, there was an influx of Trance-related co-productions which he spearheaded from the likes of Angelic, Hi-Gate and some involvement with Yomanda etc. He jumped from producing sub-standard housey sounds to full-scale Trance productions and the Gladiator bootleg he did was a pure trancer. As I have said Chrissie, I have my doubts that he did this on his own. He would certainly be the strong driving force and no question of a doubt that his creative direction would be imperative. He was also going to collaborate with Conductor & Cowboy on one of their tracks around that time too, but that never happened. If he is just listed on the credits, it would more than likely be a ghost producer supporting him.
JasonB Posted March 30, 2015 Report Posted March 30, 2015 Well unles you ask Jules yourself if some else helped him make it we will never know!
Aza Posted April 11, 2015 Report Posted April 11, 2015 I've emailed Jules - twice - in the past asking about this track and contrary to what he always used to do for all fans and still states on his website, I've never got a reply Personally, I think this is an entirely solo production. I recall he said on air he was a big fan of the film and that inspired him to produce. I also think his offering was one of the first out on the scene before Tate's and subsequently Dave Lambert's guise of Gladiator, which became titled "Now We Are Free (feat Lizzy)". This was cleared for release as it changed the sample used from the film quite a lot. On a quick separate note, Jivemaster, how did you get in touch with Paul Masterton and Darren Tate? I'd like to contact Masterson as I need help with a few tracks, which is a long shot, but I'd like to enquire
Jivemaster Posted April 11, 2015 Report Posted April 11, 2015 I'd love to agree with you but I've never seen Jules as a producer, just don't think he's particularly production savy enough to pull off a full-on trance bootleg like that unless there's a ghost producer in the backgroundFacebook and Twitter, for instance Darren Tate is @darrentate Paul Masterson - https://www.facebook.com/YOMANDAMUSIC Darren Tate - https://www.facebook.com/darrentatemusic (Like Page) and normal facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=610901637&fref=ts
Aza Posted April 11, 2015 Report Posted April 11, 2015 I'd beg to differ, and do think he did. There's elements from the track you can hear in his other productions; granted those were colabs with Masterson, but you could always tell, esp with Hi-Gate material what was Jules signatory and what was Masteron. Edit: I've managed to find a rip (from this site originally) which has Jules saying on air the background of the track. Listen for yourselves, but he definitely says: "...when the film came out, via a connection at a record company, managed to get the original score to this, made my record with it, got Hans Zimmer's permission, played itto him and - saying this is what I've done, and he said no way are you putting that out. So I was never able to release the record despite getting a load of support from other DJs..." I'd offer again to email Jules as I'd love to still know what the true answer to what we're discussing here is, but I'm guessing from no responses to my email, on this particular matter, I've probably miffed him - 'cos I did also ask if there would be change I could get a copy of the track to finish up my tribute mix to him, this site and his Radio 1 show's for getting me in to dance music :s I left the mix unfinished hoping for a response, but unfortunately had to proceed and instead finished up with no doubt another one of his personal fave's, Brainbug. The mix is here is your interested http://www.judgejulesarchive.co.uk/archives/board/index.php?/topic/7919-sensation-mixed-by-aza/ 2003 - Judge Jules talking about his Gladiator track.mp3
Jivemaster Posted April 11, 2015 Report Posted April 11, 2015 I'm sure we'd all love to conclude this, it's such a great track . Just listened to that clip where he talks about it and he mentions that loads of djs were supporting his bootleg on CD (I think that's what he says). I seem to vaguely recall Scott Bond supporting a Gladiator Trance bootleg which could quite possibly be Jules's version. He was part of Serious DJ agency back then and was managed by Jules's brother Sam, so supporting material as well as Serious record label tracks would usually go hand in hand. I just seem to remember it went down well at Gatecrasher but am not familiar with any other DJs who played it. That tracklisting looks excellent Aza!! That's a proper Judge Jules "Trance" tracklisting. None of the housey stuff, just proper Trance, looks great! I'd certainly encourage you to ask him again and anybody else on this forum to see if we can get a copy. I'm sure persistence is the key and I really don't see any reason why he can't just make it available for download now especially with the amount of bootlegs being given away by respective big names these days due to the simple fact that they simply can't get clearance. In the mean-time, does anybody have this Hans Zimmer - Gladiator Theme (Judge Jules Remix) (Tim Traill's Acetate Reconstruction)? I saw that Fuzzy posted it a good 5 years back.

I feel sure that the reason he hasn't responded to emails on this subject is not because you have miffed him, l just think he wants to draw a line under it and move on.
