1.0 out of 5 stars WAY too much background noise on TKAMB, July 16, 2009

This review is from: Good Movie Music (MP3 Download)

I don't normally complain about a 99 cent song, but dang, the version of To Kill a Mockingbird was just awful! You could hear people clearing their throat and all sorts of other distracting background sounds that just don't belong on a quality recording. TKAMB is my absolute favorite movie and the music of it usually can evoke tear filled eyes just hearing the opening strains. This rendition is just...oh my what a waste. Fortunately Amazon sells the re-recorded full score on CD so I got that to help wash this mess away from my memory. How very sad...what a wonderful concept to medley the main themes of the film score, and what a shame they ruined it with such a shoddy production quality.
