the many comment make by others have be very informative and i join in their call for the release of porgy and bess and the 1959 film . in my early teen i join a record club and this album be one of the free one i choose for join . i know some of the voice be dub and but only robert mcferrin be acknowledge on the album . recently my daughter purchase a cd from austria and i think . the quality be excellent and so i be confuse about why it be available in europe by cbs record and inc and when i have have no luck in local store . actually and i never saw the movie but for year have plead with local video store to get it . now i know why it have never be available . i add my voice to others who plead with the heir of the property and right and that they agree to release it and however imperfect they perceive it to be the beauty of the music and story reach so many of u who would never have have the experience otherwise . trudy .
