Better Artwork

Judging the two albums by
themselves, without the benefit of
seeing the films (and trying to
forget I'd ever heard the Pearl
Bailey version of "Dolly!") presented
a problem. The music was
designed to be heard with its visual
companion, and it is very possible
that what sounds terrible on record,
may "sound" good on film. If I
never see either film, I would
recommend the "Paint Your
Wagon" soundtrack as the superior
of the two. Besides, the artwork on
the cover is better.
