This release was taken from a lossless download, converted to WAV, volume increased, long gaps between tracks shortened, and converted to MP3. The torrent took me three days of downloading at frustratingly slow speeds, but it was worth it for a good quality version of this now out-of-print soundtrack. Hopefully in the near future, this soundtrack will see a re-release on CD. *Maybe when Universal finally decides to give us a decent DVD release.* Anyhoo, I hope you all enjoy this soundtrack as much as I do! The Meryl Streep song alone was worth the three days of downloading. ^_^

This download is ripped from a cassette tape I bought at Goodwill one day. (Yes, I said Goodwill. WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE ME? :P) The tape was in excellent condition as it had never even been opened. This particular cassette came with certain copies of the 1994 VHS reissue. In 1994, Fox Video released the Rodgers and Hammerstein Golden Anniversary line, which included new VHS releases of Oklahoma!, Carousel, The King And I, South Pacific, and The Sound Of Music. Some copies of these tapes came with a soundtrack cassette tape. In the case of The Sound Of Music, the cassette contained previously unreleased film versions of songs, songs previously not included on the soundtrack, and tracks with music not heard in the film. The South Pacific cassette tape merely replicated the original soundtrack album releases, albeit with a slightly different track order.

The sound quality of this download is very good. There's a little tape noise as I chose not to sacrifice audio quality in order to remove it. There's occasional tape anomalies too, such as a slight warping at the end of track 6. Despite the few issues, I think this cassette rip sounds almost as good as the CD release. And I kinda like the bit of tape noise and the fact that it still sounds like a cassette, albeit a really good one. I love a clean remastered CD as much as anyone, but hearing some tape noise and a few anomalies kinda gives it a nostalgic feel. I'm pretty sure most of you still remember listening to cassette tapes, and since I didn't own a CD player until I was 16, I'm still used to them. :P

Since I hadn't done this by the time I zipped the MP3s up and uploaded them, here's an HQ scan of the cassette insert. Click for a larger view.

The original soundtrack album, released on May 30, 1995, is one of Disney's most successful soundtrack releases ever, selling 2.3 million copies in the US and being certified triple platinum. The album reached #1 on the Billboard Albums Chart and produced Vanessa Williams' last top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with the single "Colors Of The Wind."

In 2005, Disney released a 2-Disc 10th Anniversary Edition of the film which included an optional extended version which re-integrated the newly completed deleted scene where Pocahontas and John Smith sing "If I Never Knew You" the night before he is to be executed. Unlike previous Disney films like Beauty And The Beast and The Lion King which got new soundtrack CDs including the newly added songs, Disney went the complete opposite direction with the soundtrack CD from Pocahontas and put it out of print in the US, although it's still available as an import on Amazon. So I've taken it upon myself to create an expanded soundtrack CD using audio from my DVD. Because my attempts at separating the 5.1 channels to create a version of "If I Never Knew You" without dialogue and such resulted in a terrible-sounding MP3, I decided to just directly convert the AC3 to WAV. Therefore, the track still includes all the dialogue from the scene.

I also decided to include some bonus tracks from the DVD's bonus features. The "Colors Of The Wind" demo comes from an early presentation reel. Although Judy Kuhn is not credited as a singer, I believe it's her voice as it sounds like her. The deleted reprise of "Just Around The Riverbend" was to be used during the scene where Pocahontas seeks advice from Grandmother Willow the morning John Smith is to be executed. I'm not sure about the story behind "In The Middle Of The River." The single version of "Colors Of The Wind" is slightly different from the pop version on the soundtrack album in that background vocals are also included.
