I've bought this movie three times, first on videotape after the 94 restoration, and then on DVD in its initial incarnation, and now the 2-disk SE. I also own the soundtrack recording on SACD.
It appears to have a very odd (to me) music soundtrack. In several places, there are two vocals, notably during the song "Show Me." One can hear a second solo voice beneath the main vocal of Marni Nixon, and the second one sometimes can be heard first (out of sync?)
I originally thought it might be that the vocals were placed on top of an orchestral track that wasn't separated properly, so that is my question.
After watching the DVDs (it appears on both versions), I got out the SACD, which sounds different (not better, though), but I can still hear the two vocals.
Any explanations?
