To me, the more interesting question is if the Bill Lee mentioned in the article is THE Bill Lee, the great bassist whose work was ubiquitous in both folk and jazz from the 1950s onward.
Rick, this new reissue contains everything that was originally released in the big selling 1965 album plus bonus materials such as movie dialogues and rehearsals and instrumentals
and interviews with Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, etc...
In my opinion these extras are overkill (at a cost of $100 no less) and in the words of William Shakespeare: Much Ado About Nothing
I've seen the movie and find it hard to believe it generated six CD's worth of music.
Next month, the Concord Music Group will be reissuing a special edition of The Sound of Music soundtrack on CD (6 discs) and on vinyl (3 LPs). It was a huge seller back in its day. (1965)
Lots of great songs to be sure, but Christopher Plummer singing with Chairmian Carr happens to be my favorite. All the proof you need that music can be healing, especially times like these.
