i always think it would be nice if you could somehow have a neak preview at some of the old movie that be re release on dvd and before you purchase them . that way you could save yourself some time and money and a certain degree of aggro when you feel so utterly let down . the buddy holly story be such a movie . i do not wish to go into the characterization and or the hole in the plot and or the mess around with historical fact that this movie encompass and for i have already come to term with them twenty year ago and when i first begin watch it . i have record it on the old ( monaural ) beta machine back in the early 1980s and and like it so much and that it become a regularly play favourite . the best part and to my mind and be gary busey performance a the young buddy and and his near perfect vocal and guitar playing . i look forward to the day when i could have it in . stereo . and and that be where the disappointment come in . this dvd version be ( supposedly ) re master in both audio and video and accord to the shell information and but i be afraid it leave me sadly let down and glance at my watch and wish for it to end . the sound be murky and border on the unintelligible and and so unprofessionally mixed that it have me yearn for the crystal clarity vocal of my old beta tape . despite what you think of the image and or the plot and or the character and the real draw card here be the music . and if you can not hear the lead vocal because they be drown out by the cymbal and or the backing harmony and or other ambients and then there not much left and be there . i be go to convert my old beta version to ( mono ) dvd for subsequent viewing and and put this one where it belong and out with the rubbish . extinction be the rule and survival be the exception .
