From the Manufacturer

La-La Land Records, 20th Century Fox, Fox Music and Universal Music Special Markets present Doctor Dolittle: 50th Anniversary Expanded Soundtrack: Limited Edition, a special 2-CD set featuring a newly restored and remastered presentation of Leslie Bricusse's original motion picture score and songs from the 1967 feature film musical Doctor Dolittle, directed by Richard Fleischer and starring Rex Harrison, Samantha Eggar and Anthony Newley. Songwriter/lyricist Bricusse unleashes a musical bounty to complement this charming incarnation of the classic Hugh Lofting titular character and his magic gift of gab with the animals. Bricusse's iconic work here would generate such famous songs as "I've Never Seen Anything Like It," "Fabulous Places" and the Oscar-Winning "Talk To The Animals."

This deluxe 2-CD anniversary edition, meticulously produced, restored, mixed and mastered by Mike Matessino, from studio vault elements, in consultation with the composer, showcases a stunningly full ACT I and ACT II score presentation greatly expanded beyond the original Gold-selling 1967 album. A wealth of previously unreleased material includes the lush underscore arranged by Alexander Courage and Lionel Newman, with the presentation further enhanced by alternates and never-before-heard demo recordings by the legendary Rex Harrison. It's the long-awaited, definitive assembly of a classic musical score that has delighted fans of all ages for half a century. Matessino's exclusive, in-depth notes, with recollections from the composer, takes you behind the scenes of Dolittle's wonderful musical world and Jim Titus' art design herds the packaging together in classy fashion.
