Weren't the Overture and Ent'racte of 1776 produced exclusively for the Pioneer laserdisc?

Weren't the Overture and Ent'racte of 1776 produced exclusively for the Pioneer laserdisc?

Correct. And the LaserDisc Interstitial sources were all tracked underscores from the film and come from what I remember, as follows:

Overture:

1. Adams comes down the stairs. (Commitment [Underscore])
2. Martha and Thomas Jefferson kiss (He Plays the Violin [Underscore])
3. Dickinson's Entrance (Cool Considerate Men [Underscore])/Dr. Franklin's Entrance to Congress (The Egg [Underscore No. 2] Heard longer on the 1972 Theatrical Version and 1992 LD Version [IIRC] and 2002/2015 Director's Cut and 2015 Extended Cut have dialed out the 2nd part of the number).
4. Going to New Brunswick (But, Mr. Adams [Underscore])

The first 22 seconds of the Main Titles [The Lees of Old Virginia] which are present on the 1992 LD (after Overture is finished) are omitted from the 2002/2015 Director's Cuts and 2015 Extended Version [and instead the music fades in to the end of the Columbia Logo].


Intermission:

Compliments (Outro) [Instrumental]

Entr'acte:

1. Piddle, Twiddle and Resolve (an Instrumental underscore not used [I think] in the film).
2. Yours, Yours Yours (Underscore) [Used in the 1972 Theatrical Version and 1992 LD Version but not used in the 2002/2015 Director's Cuts and 2015 Extended Version)]
3. Compliments (Instrumental)

@Ronald Epstein You may fact check, If I managed to beat the odds…

My Personal Answer: No actual Music was recorded for the Overture, Intermission and Entr'acte have been recorded.

Ergo: 1776 (1972) []
