5.0 out of 5 stars Great Streisand but is this still the "original" soundtrack?, February 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Funny Lady: Original Soundtrack Recording (Audio CD)

Streisand is, of course, just wonderful. But what Arista has done with this reisue surprises me: instead of ADDING the "alternate takes", they chose to actually CHANGE some of the songs from the original album. Where is that wonderful "angels in the skyyyy-aaaa-yyy" from the original "Great Day"? I doubt very much this can still be called the "original" soundtrack.

They also resequenced the songs, but NOT entirely the way they appear in the film itself, so why bothering in the first place?

Again, if this was considered to be the reisue of the "original" recording, the alternate takes should really be a bonus, not the replacement of the "original" ones.

3.0 out of 5 stars Funny business was done to 'Funny Lady'., August 1, 2007

I could not wait to hear this soundtrack on cd. I was impressed that the order was more true to the order of songs as they appeared in the film. My favorite song was always "(It's Gonna Be A) Great Day". Imagine my surprise when the original song (which was perfection) was replaced by an alternate version. This version sounds like a demo gone bad. It is just horrible! I would recommend that one get the lp version and transfer it to cd. What a truly disappointing experience. Pass on this 'funny' recording.

No matter what one may think of the movie, and whether it should have been made at all, I can't help but say that "If I Love Again" has to be the most beautiful ballad ever written...EVER!!
And Barbra singing it is nothing short of breathtaking.
