4.0 out of 5 stars NEEDS TO BE ON CD NOW!!!!, December 21, 2006

This is the wonderful original soundtrack LP to the 1970 film musical, "Scrooge." It's a gatefold album with lyrics and a few stills from the film inside the album. The album was produced with the idea that stereo separation of the voices can be loads of fun, and in a few cases they have concocted separation that would be laughed at today, but in 1970 it was the norm to do this. The album was produced with an extra layer of reverb not on the actual film's musical tracks, again something done very often back in the 1960's, and some of the songs are edited for a better flow from track to track. I have had the album since it came out, and have loved it very much, but I wish someone would finally put it out on CD. As far as I know, it has never been released on CD, and now would be the perfect time to go back to the original master tracks and restore them using the best equipment available (like the well-done "Fiddler On The Roof" soundtrack remaster from a few years ago). I like the form of the album, my only minor complaints are the excessive use of reverb and the stereo separation issues. Other than that, it's a great album, and I'm sure there are millions of others out there who would love to see this out on CD immediately!

5.0 out of 5 stars Why isn't Scrooge on CD yet???, November 18, 2008

I love the Albert Finney musical film "Scrooge", and watch it every single Christmas. I have loved this soundtrack, since I first saw the film almost 40 years ago. The songs are beautiful, as is the film. The film's music was actually nominated for two Academy Awards (Best Score and Best Song--"Thank You Very Much") Why is this not on CD? With many inferior soundtracks in past and current CD release, I simply cannot understand it. Please, please, please, someone give this album the CD release it deserves. Thank you.

I saw this film on opening weekend when I was a senior in HS. It's my favorite adaptation of the Christmas Carol. I've been waiting for 20 years for this to come out on CD! I wish I knew why it never did. I'll keep checking back here every year hoping to see it!
