Richard et al,

There are many different ways to arrange and record music, but probably the
most common (and I think best) is to gather the best musicians (whom you
know will play something you like) and let them devise "head arrangements",
which are not written out.  Most music, short of orchestra and big-band
arrangements, is made in this way.  There is no "master score".  

And anyway, do you really want it to sound just like the recording?  If so,
you need to listen to the recording, one part at a time, and transcribe it.
 That could be expensive in time, or, if you paid someone to do it, in money.

Don't mean to discourage, but that's pretty much the way it is...

Gut shabbes!
