I just got this release. Very fun album like all the other Addison scores in this vein.
Bruce, quick question - the back cover says 25 tracks but there's an unnamed 1:27 26th track at the end. What's that supposed to be? An alternate for one of the other tracks?

Not sure, actually, probably just an error no one caught. No one's brought it up before. Maybe the end titles were meant to be listed separately? I don't have a copy here.

There seems to be much less interest in this one than in Tom Jones, but I've been listening to the samples and it's a nice score. I've never seen the movie but I'll pick up this CD, for sure.
Tom Jones was easier - Oscar-winner for Best Picture and all. Joseph was a huge bomb, but the score really is terrific and worth getting.
Am I the only one who considers Joseph Andrews superior to Tom Jones? I found Jones to be really scatty and unfunny, with weird editing (hard to make out what was going on at times) and a lead who seemed much too old for the part. For me Andrews hit the nail on the head as a wild, silly farce and had a lead you might believe could actually woo the ladies en masse. And Anne Margaret was a hoot.
