Bette Midler – Beaches (Original Soundtrack Recording)

Great soundtrack, but the track running order always bothered me. Always thought it should have reflected how they appeared in the film chronologically:

1) Under The Boardwalk
2) I've Still Got My Health
3) Oh Industry (would have also been nice to have the actual film version with the cold ending instead of the fade)
4) I Know You By Heart
5) Otto Titsling
6) Baby Mine
7) I Think It's Going To Rain Today
8) Wind Beneath My Wings
9) The Glory Of Love
10) The Friendship Theme

This is a great album and movie! This pressing is great. It sounds full and little to no surface noise. Very pleased and glad they re-released!

Fairly ordinary mastering here. Pressing and artwork are great, however the SQ is patchy, and varies track to track.

On track 1 "Under The Boardwalk", every cassette copy I've heard seems to have an extra 3-4 seconds of crowd noise sandwiched between the 25 second instrumental jazz 'intro', and the first note of the song. All the CD copies I've heard only have about 1 second of crowd noise. Not sure how it is on the LP copies.

He actually left a Kenny Rogers session in Nashville with Producer Jim Ed Norman to fly back to LA to do the sessions. Jim Ed released him from the Nashville
sessions only because it was for Arif...

The Drummer on the record spelled Paul Lien is incorrect,,, It is the legendary studio drummer
Paul Leim..
