Query: The restored soundtrack from a gem of an old musical

After only being available as a mono recording, this restored stereo soundtrack CD is just great. Plus you get a couple of tracks that were never available on the original...including Monroe's original tracks, a couple of bonus tracks with Merman and the full track of "A Sailor's Just A Sailor." This was Merman's last film musical as well as the last film musical from Irving Berlin. Great songs with great performances by the above as well as dazzling Mitzi Gaynor along with Donald O'Connor and Dan Dailey. I give it 4 stars rather than 5 due to one track which sounds, to my ear, out of sync. Johnny Ray's "If You Believe" seems to place the vocal a split second off from the musical track. The plot of the film is just a framework for the music and it's the music that's front and center. Kudos to Varese Sarabande for doing the tech work to make this available.
