Not what I had expected

"Thought I was ordering the CD from the soundtrack of the original motion picture (1967)......considering under the title DOCTOR DOLITTLE were listed Leslie Bricusse, Anthony Newly, Rex Harrison and Samatha Eggar. Songs 1 through 5 were from the show, however, sung to by vocalists totally unfamiliar to me. Songs 6 through 10 were a variety of young children's nursery rhyme songs and quite juvenile at that! Every song from DOCTOR DOLITTLE is absolutely wonderful and unique in itself and expresses so much feeling and emotion when sung by it's original cast members and this is really what I prefer exposing the young children to whom I work with each and every day.Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to vent my dissapointment in this CD under your customer reviews."

Totaly misleading and an insult to the original movie

"Well, there I was surfing through Amazon looking for CD's which would remind me of my childhood. Then I found it... Doctor Dolittle!!!! All the names were there on the cover; Rex Harrison and co... but alas it was a dud. Despite the promise of hearing the vocal talents of Mr.Harrison and Mr.Newley, what is available is very disapointing. DO NOT BUY if you are expecting what I, and a lot of people, were."
