Editorial Reviews

Import single disc version of this classic 1964 soundtrack to one of Disney's finest films. It was nominated for 13 Academy Awards and a winner of 5 (including Best Actress for Julie Andrews and Best Musical Score and Best Song Oscars for Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman). It's no stretch to call the Mary Poppins score the Shermans' most memorable of their 40-plus-year association with Disney. Boasting at least three bona fide classics ('A Spoonful of Sugar'; the Gilbert and Sullivan-esque romp, 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious'; and Oscar winner, 'Chim Chim Cher-ee') and at least as many other contenders, the Shermans' score held the technical tour de force together while giving it a sense of ageless wonder to match the powers of its titular magical nanny. Disney.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not the Original Soundtrack Album, March 31, 2008

The CD as such is just fine. It even came sealed and was not damaged in any way.

But if you are looking for a CD of the original LP, you will have to look further if this bothers you as much as it bothers me: in the cut "Fidelity Fiduciary Bank", the two lines starting with "While stand the banks of England" are missing. Instead, on the CD (not just the MP3 file, but on the CD itself) you get a few moments of silence.

Of course, you may not care about this.

Another point: the volume of the CD/MP3 files is /much lower/ than usual. This is a "digitally remastered" recording, which may or may not be related to the low volume level. The low volume level, of course, may or may not matter to you. Since I use a Windows computer, and since turning up the volume for this album makes any sounds Windows choses to emit very very loud, it matters to me.

I listened to this CD happily as a child, and now delight in the fact that my toddler reall enjoys it, too. It's fun and wonderful with for children without being obnoxiously annoying or sweet. Still a winner after all these years!

My daughter's eyes lit up when she heard her favorite movie in the car. The soundtrack sounds great. One of the other reviewers mentioned that her copy did not come with the shrink wrap, my copy did and it was also a import, but, the case of the CD was damaged but luckily the CD was not. I
