5.0 out of 5 stars An Awesome Musical, April 17, 1999

I am currently in a pit orchestra for a production of this show. I think it has a wonderful soundtrack, and recommend it to anyone who enjoys big band music. I think it is a shame that this CD is no longer available.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a sparkling, up-tempo, big band gem., August 16, 1999

What a pleasure to find this soundtrack. I'm surprised it's now out of print. Fans of big bands, Broadway musicals and/or the Andrews Sisters will be disappointed-as will anyone truly a fan of John Travolta(his Broadway debut solo is here!). With all the interest in the time period of WWII and our greatest generation, this show gives a nostalgic look back at the homefront and the soundtrack contains great dance music. Very enjoyable to listen to. Hope this becomes available again.

The Sherman Brothers in a breakaway from their family musicals for Disney and others, have come up with a Broadway score like no other, with all the tunefulness of their other scores wrapped up in a spectacular 1940's big band sound. Upbeat,witty, clever,evocative, OVER HERE! is about as good as you get and homage to the fact that nothing beats the work of great songwriters. The now stellar cast on this recording sees the likes of John Travolta and Samuel E Wright mixing it with the two surviving Andrews' Sisters of the time. For every reason - an essential purchase, even if the CD mix isn't as good as that which appeared on the original LP.
