I always loved this movie. I thought the performances were very good, especially Diahann Carroll, Robert Hooks and Burgess Meridith. I could never forget the song..."Hurry Sundown, let the weary day be over, I'm so tired of the hurt I been taking, My heart has been aching so...."
You have done a wonderful job with a great score. I am amazed with the excellent sound quality. I would appreciate knowing what equipment you used to give such an impressive result.
I used the Audacity software that was supplied with the turntable. There is still a bit of distortion on the high notes, but filtering it any more would have cut the top off the sound. It also helped that the vinyl was in pristine condition and in stereo. Thanks for the wonderful comment.
You are very very welcome. Montenegro was very underrated as a film composer, undeservedly so, as everything he wrote or arranged for that matter was top notch.

Well, thanks for that; I have certaqinly enjoyed it. I have had luck converting many old LPs to digital when I can't find the soundtrack on CD.

It's a shame the entire soundtrack is not available. I too, remember the movie as being terrible, but really liked the music.

The suite is culled from the original LP release, unfortunately there has never been a CD issued.
But I think that I selected the best from the album to form the suite.

@Valdez244 The entire soundtrack is now available to download from Amazon.

Fantastic tribute to the great Hugo Montenegro. I'm a big fan and never heard the stereo version of this soundtrack before. Thank you very very much!
