Amazon.co.uk Review
Lions and tigers and bears, the yellow brick road, gambolling midgets, warnings scrawled high above by a skywriting witch: No movie ever imprinted itself on young imaginations or endured in adult memory more than MGM's classic 1939 musical, and no movie score ever hooked as forcefully into our collective cultural memory. This exemplary soundtrack finally treats this deserved classic to a thoughtful and comprehensive rendering that confirms the enduring power of Harold Arlen's original music and E.Y. "Yip" Harburg's lyrics. On film, the songs unreeled as a mixture of discrete songs and multi-themed medleys with frequent reprises, a presentation preserved here, epitomised in the "Munchkinland Musical Sequence". If not as concise as Bobby McFerrin's legendary, hilarious concert compression of the entire musical story, this telling of The Wizard of Oz relives the film just as vividly. "Over the Rainbow" is presented here with multiple alternate takes, making it a must for fans of Judy Garland. --Sam Sutherland

Customer Reviews

A great present and excellant for amateur dramatic use.
This CD was fantastic value. It's the original film soundtrack and has the added bonus of not only including all your favourites from this classic film but also almost the complete film score. If you have a relative who loved the film this is an ideal present or if you are involved in a production or know someone who is, it will really support them.

Buy this and your guaranteed to be singing some where over the rainbow in less time than it takes to follow the yellow brick road !
