Editorial Reviews

The move from stage to screen has been as spectacularly successful as the leap from song to stage- Mamma Mia! the movie has earned over $500 million and its soundtrack went platinum in under a month. Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan and an all-star cast join 17 ABBA songs on CD and a behind-the-scenes DVD spotlighting the recording sessions and ABBA members. And then there's the songs: Dancing Queen; SOS; Mamma Mia; The Name of the Game; Take a Chance on Me; Super Trouper; The Winner Takes It All; Honey, Honey; Chiquitita , and more!

2.0 out of 5 stars The track list is WRONG!!, November 24, 2008

This review is from: Mamma Mia! [Deluxe Edition] (Audio CD)

If you're buying this because "Chiquitita" (which should have been on the original release) is listed as being on the CD in this new version, save your money because it is NOT. One of the main reasons I bought this was so that I could finally have that song.

The other reason I wanted this was for the DVD since the description gave me the impression that there would be a good "behind the scenes" look at the recording session for the CD. The "Behind the Music" featurette is 12 minutes 39 seconds long. There's a great deal of footage from various stage productions around the world, old footage of ABBA, clips from the movie but VERY LITTLE footage of the recording of the CD. For what it's worth, I haven't actually watched the featurette yet, I've just fast forwarded through it to get an idea of what's in it so I can write this review, but from what I've seen, it's not at all what I was expecting.

You'll be hard-pressed to find a bigger fan of this movie and soundtrack than me. I've seen the movie more times than I should probably admit and the CD hasn't left the CD player in my car since it came out. The second I found out about this "deluxe edition" of the soundtrack, I pre-ordered it. I can honestly say that I wish I had saved my money. There's no difference in the CD's themselves, all you're paying for is the new packaging, a 12 minute featurette that very easily could have (and probably should have) been included on the DVD release of the movie, and the video for "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme" which is included on the two-DVD special edition of the movie. If you don't already own the soundtrack then yes, this is worth buying but if you do already have the original release from July then this one really isn't worth it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Mamma Mia Deluxe Edition Soundtrack Album Falls Short!, November 25, 2008

By 

Show Toons - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mamma Mia! [Deluxe Edition] (Audio CD)

Decca Broadway has completely missed the mark on this "deluxe" release! Most people I know are interested in the Mamma Mia Deluxe Edition soundtrack only because they thought the new CD would contain the songs that were missing from the original release, namely "Chiquititta," "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do," and "Waterloo." Well folks, put your wallets and pocketbooks away, because the CD-portion of this set is identical to the original release right down to the track order and the DVD is skimpy to put it mildly... most of which will probably end up as bonus features on the DVD anyway! In short, save your money for the DVD release and be sure to write Decca Records asking them what the heck happened to the missing songs from the movie!

1.0 out of 5 stars What a let down, December 4, 2008

This review is from: Mamma Mia! [Deluxe Edition] (Audio CD)

Can't believe I bought this! Only wanted it because of the extra tracks - I do, I do, I do and Chiquitita - and they're not there. Should have been included from the beginning as should Waterloo.
And the DVD featurette is nothing I haven't already seen - except fore some additional photage from the recording sessions it's the same as on the DVD edition.

Anyways, if you don't have this soundtrack it's definitly a must. Haven't stopped playing it since I saw the movie the first time last summer. Otherwise, let's just say it's wasted money.
