CD Reviews

A Wonderful Find
Victor M. Lembo | Beacon Falls, CT | 01/17/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"What a great addition to my collection! I must admit, I've been hooked on this movie ever since I was a kid. In the days before video tapes and DVDs, I used to anxiously await the next issue of TV Guide and search the movie guide for this movie to be shown every holiday season. Whatever time it was being shown, I was parked in front of the TV. When VCRs and video tapes became available, it was the first one I sought out and bought.



If you enjoy the movie, I highly recommend buying this CD. Though it's an import and it took a long time to receive, it was well worth it! The cuts are taken exactly as they are performed from the movie, hence the category: 'Soundtrack' (it truly is the real thing, dialog and all). The quality is excellent. And there's a bonus -- it even conatins an 18th cut, the original trailer that must have been used in theaters, advertising the movie.



Do yourself a favor if you enjoy listening to music and visualizing movie footage -- buy this CD -- and, "don't ask why, just go and God Bless America!""
Excellent Quality Soundtrack

"This version of the Holiday Inn soundtrack (on the Soundtrack Factory label) is as near perfect as it gets. There are other versions out there, released on different labels, and reviews that I have seen of those have talked about the poor sound quality. Not so in this version. What you get here is perfect sound quality and excellent editing. It sounds as though this disc might have been mastered directly from the original soundtrack. The folk at Soundtrack Factory have done an excellent job of preserving this wonderful soundtrack -- a collection of songs that, if 1940's swing with Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire is your thing, will bring you happiness and joy. There are also a couple of lovely ballads from Bing, and two versions of the immortal 'White Christmas'. Plus, as a bonus there's also the audio track from the movie trailer. All around, it's a high quality soundtrack CD.
