available anywhere?

OK, I sort of ran out of time to upload the full thing.

What I've done is to chop out all of the country parades up until where Team
GB come in.
Then I've transcoded it to a high quality AAC file. The extension is mp4; in
the extremely unlikely event your player doesn't recognise it try renaming
the extension to .m4a.
The resulting file is 66mb. But once again, please don't complain that you
wanted to hear the Zambian athletes being described. Cos it ain't there!
Here's the link: https://www.box.com/s/0924f389b84f83f0828a

Incidentally, I was wondering where you can get the amazing music from the
industrial and flame lighting sections.
Turns out you can't without buying a whole album. However, I've seen these
links floating around. For the purposes of technical interest only, I had a
look and reckon they might be working.
I couldn't possibly say whether visiting the links would be the right thing
to do, though. But given then a fair few of your tax pounds have paid for
it, I wouldn't blame you if you did!

The tracks are:
