CD Reviews

"Jean" is the original version!

Devin Melancon | 02/09/2010

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I was familiar with Rod McKuen's poetry but not his recordings, except the wonderful song "Jean" (the theme song from The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, one of my all-time favorite films). I looked for this song for a long time and it was available only on some of his greatest hits compilations that are now out of print and very expensive to acquire secondhand ($100 or more!). So when this new compilation came out I bought it, not knowing if the sound quality was good or if the song would even be the original version. Both of my hopes were highly fulfilled - the sound is great and "Jean" is indeed the version I remember from the movie. I'll listen to the others, but I bought it just for this song so if others out there are looking for it, the version on this CD is the one you want."
