Elton John does not look like a natural option to write for a Disney musical, however he rose to the task on The Lion King, transcending his usual penchant for the softest of sentimental rock. Sir Elton�s collaboration with Tim Rice (former writing partner of Andrew Lloyd Webber) helps connect the soundtrack to the theatrical lineage of all Disney musicals�so abundant in order that, like Beauty and therefore the Beast, The Lion King was eventually tailored for Broadway. Undistinguished songs like �Can you are feeling the Love Tonight?� are way outnumbered by stirring, stately tunes that lent the film such a lot of its sense of pageant and play. �John Sanchez.

…and then, it’s the "slowdown" version… 🙂
This is the old one, the one with half-mono tracks, album tracks masquerading as alternates, bad track titling and shitty sound quality. You want this one:
Anyway, I really don’t know why this awful quality bootleg has been reposted after Scorepranos uploaded the proper thing and in FLAC and MP3 too?! Do people think it’s OK to upload any old thing willy-nilly without knowing exactly what it is and if there are any superior versions available/already posted in the first place? What’s even more stupifying are the posters on here that are pleased to receive such crap! The mind boggles…
Except when you download this you will be presented with the old bootleg…
DOES NOBODY BOTHER READING THROUGH A THREAD BEFORE POSTING???
