I LOVE this album…. Many moods & vibes, sweet & dark … Great songs, great recording.

BTW this release is on two LP's rather than the original one! I haven't yet compared the tracks to see if the same songs are on both releases, but excepting possible cutting level, there is definitely no sonic compromise in the 1988 version.- Edited one year ago

I would strongly urge avoiding this release in favor of the original. "KB" & "GL" appear in the runout instead of the expected "RL", and the sound is flat and uninvolving. "RL" is of course Bob Ludwig, and the original release, which can be obtained for the same price, is highly preferable. No contest. referencing Stay Awake (Various Interpretations Of Music From Vintage Disney Films) (2×LP, Album, Reissue) B0029005-01
I had the CD back in college in the late 80's. Absolutely love the interpretations. The vinyl is a little noisy in places, but the quality of the recording is good enough that I can really only tell in the quietest passages or in between songs.referencing Stay Awake (Various Interpretations Of Music From Vintage Disney Films) (CD, Album) 393 918-2
This is my own personal all time favorite album of Disney songs performed by Pop Artists. I can say with confidence that it is truly one of the best because I do have several, and this one does not have ordinary rock music or hard jazz or the same old pop sound of so many singers these days... Every performance on this CD is unique, and they are all expertly mixed into a fascinating and enjoyable listening experience.

I expected this to be interesting as Hal Willner's all star concept albums seem to be but this is almost entirely filled with lame covers. Some seriously cringeworthy moments here - "ooh ooh ooh I wanna be like you" - it seems that Los Lobos don't even know the words to the song they are doing let alone they are delivering a seriously puerile version !?! Sun Ra's take on "Pink Elephants on Parade" is the shining star here and Tom Waits' "Heigh Ho" isn't too bad but other than these the album is pretty weak...
