Editorial Reviews
Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this classic soundtrack featuring all the memorable songs and incidental music from one of the most beloved films in history. Regarded now as one of the finest film musicals of all time, the initial reception to The Wizard Of Oz in 1939 was almost lukewarm. The film did not go into profit until it was re-released in 1949 and its reputation did not begin to soar until it began getting an annual showing on television in 1956. Songs such as 'Over The Rainbow', 'We're Off To See The Wizard' and 'Follow The Yellow Brick Road' have a timeless quality about them, even as stand alone songs; sat within the film soundtrack they are little short of works of art.

"THE MOST COMPLETE AUDIO PRESENTATION (WITH DIALOGUE) OF "THE WIZARD OF OZ",
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wizard of Oz (Audio CD)
There are many different editions of "The Wizard Of Oz" Soundtrack. This one is a 1989 release from CBS/Sony Special Products. The audio quality is a bit low in the beginning; but the sound soon becomes more clear. I actually prefer this CBS/Sony Release which includes songs and dialogue (to tell the story) in a 72 minute presentation. This edition includes dialogue from Dorothy's meeting with Professor Marvel (after she decides to leave Kansas with Toto and just prior to the Cyclone); which the two other (later) Rhino Releases do not. Thus, the story presentation is the most complete.I had this edition 20 year ago and lost it. I was delighted to find it here; offered by Amazon seller Chuck's House Of Music, which provided extremely fast customer service! Serious fans and "Oz" Collectors certainly won't mind owning different versions of the Soundtrack. This edition offers all the magic of the movie with Judy Garland, Margaret Hamilton, Ray Bolger, Bert Lahr, Jack Haley, Frank Morgan, Billie Burke, The Munchkins, and Toto, too!

It's a twistuh! It's a twistuh!!!,

This review is from: Wizard of Oz (Audio CD)
THE WIZARD OF OZ * ORIGINAL CAST ALBUM is a CBS Special Products release. Besides well over an hour of music and film dialog, a bonus track is provided. "The Jitterbug" was cut from production in order to shorten the movie.Audio quality is good, if somewhat low compared to the average CD. All of the original Arlen & Harburg songs are here. The album's 12-page booklet includes a two page color reproduction of a 1939 Wizard Of Oz movie poster, as well as details on the making of the film. TOTAL RUNNING TIME -- 72:51

Good music, good memories,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wizard of Oz - Soundtrack (2009 Remastered Edition) (Audio CD)
This digitally remastered CD provides all the songs from the movie soundtrack plus another one that was cut from the original movie. My daughter recently fell in love with the movie so we get good use out of the CD at times when she can't watch the DVD. Be prepared for some of the songs to get stuck in your head. Catchy tunes and catchy lyrics.
