September 06 - Spliced Christmas Takes

Here is another volume is the "Spliced Takes" series from the CMT import label in cooperation with the Star Productions label. This volume, entitled "Summer Festival" contains newly created spliced takes created from some of the rehearsals for the "That's The Way It Is" movie. 

Since the takes were performed and recorded for rehearsal purposes the actual listening pleasure is missing in some way, because of the many breaks and repeating parts... until now. Next to the rehearsals, excellent studio splices are also included as well as a great live version of “Just Pretend” with reprise!
