41 cassettes and 5 minicasettes, housed in a black plastic briefcase. Almost all with extensive handwritten labels, dated 1977-'80. Largely recordings of meetings at McQueen's Solar Productions Co., most discussing the development of McQueen's film Tom Horn (1980), including McQueen's notes on the script, story outlines, and breakdowns. These recordings were retained by Philip L. Parslow, an executive at Solar Productions. McQueen and Parslow met when the latter served as associate producer on An Enemy of the People (1978). As Parslow described the meeting, "Steve sort of jumped into a chair and was squatting down, looking at me face-to-face, and he said 'You know, I deal a lot in vibes, how I feel about people. That's what I do. Instinct. And the vibes between me and you are very, very good'" (McQueen: The Biography, HarperCollins, 2001.) Including a tape of McQueen's lecture at Loyola Marymount University in 1977, as well as a tape labeled "Last Conversation w/ Steve McQueen / Santa Paula, CA 11/1/80." Dated just six days before McQueen's death, being a conversation between McQueen and another man, discussing spirituality and religion and apparently preparing for McQueen's death. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the consignor, Parslow's son. Case: 16 x 11 in.
