Sorry but, I really question just who are "Hollywood Soundstage Records" (I cannot find a website) that put out this piece of pirated rubbish. All these cowboys have done is copy from the soundtrack of a very poor quality source any of the songs in the movie. If, for instance, in the movie you hear only an abbreviated version of a song, that is exactly what you get on this CD. I do already own the re-mastered DVD from FOX which was released only in 2004, this CD dates from 2001, who knows of what origin, does the word "Bootleg" come to mind? The print quality of the jacket is very poor, and there are several typos in the limited liner notes. Unfortunately I am unable to return this item to the good folks at Amazon, because I already opened the package. My only intent here is to prevent others from being taken in by a sub standard product. I think FOX may eventually bring out their own soundtrack version of what is really an excellent movie. Take heart brave ones, wait for the real thing. The only reason I rate it one star is because, I am prevented from rating it ZERO!

If you want to find the complete soundtrack, and I'm assuming it has good sound (I don't know because I don't own it, and I don't plan on it), go to screenarchives.com. Type in the name of this soundtrack, and it will be there. There are 48 tracks. I hope that this helps you out to find the CD that you are looking for.

This CD is a wonderful collection of the Irving Berlin Songs that is not only, most enjoyable, but memorable as well. Ideal for a Collector of Vintage Musicals!
