This release of this score is one of the early Rhino projects. They probably have tried their best, but the sound quality of the CD is just poor, tons of hissing and cracking sound. This is the shorter version of their release. They also have a double CD deluxe set. This one contains most of the important music cues and songs from this children classic, eg. "If I Only Had a Heart," "If I Only Had the Nerve," "If I were King of the Forrest." Also, detailed liner notes about the movie and music. Too bad they don't have the lyrics, but they probably have it in the deluxe set.
