Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential recording:
Lions and tigers and bears, the yellow brick road, gamboling midgets, warnings scrawled high above by a skywriting witch: No movie ever imprinted itself on young imaginations or endured in adult memory more than MGM's classic 1939 musical, and no movie score ever hooked as forcefully into our collective cultural memory. This exemplary soundtrack finally treats this deserved classic to a thoughtful and comprehensive rendering that confirms the enduring power of Harold Arlen's original music and E.Y. 'Yip' Harburg's lyrics. On film, the songs unreeled as a mixture of discrete songs and multithemed medleys with frequent reprises, a presentation preserved here, epitomized in the 'Munchkinland Musical Sequence.' If not as concise as Bobby McFerrin's legendary, hilarious concert compression of the entire musical story, this telling of The Wizard of Oz relives the film just as vividly. 'Over the Rainbow' is presented here with multiple alternate takes, making it a must for fans of Judy Garland. --Sam Sutherland

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wizard of Oz
My only complaint may be that this collection has too much on it. I never realized how many songs are played in the background and not in the forefront of the movie. Thoroughly entertaining and well worth the money.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - BEST OZ CD SET EVER!!!!
I absolutly love this set. It has all the songs and music from the movie, plus music to scenes that have been cut. It feels a little like watching an uncut version of the movie (with no visuals or dialogue). Of course, the main attractions are the songs heard in the movie. Even if you just want the songs, this set is great (although a four rating would be more appropriate if you only want songs). My only complaints involve the two WInkie songs on the set: The March of the Winkies do not include the ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Lions, and Tigers, and Bears...OH MY, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SET!
This is IT, folks! The ULTIMATE Wizard of OZ (aka, WOO) soundtrack/score album!

Man, this is just Beautiful, believe me! What's amazing to me is how a man of 60 years (almost) has this bank in his brain for so many elements from this absolutely magnificent film. (How the Hell could Gone With the Wind have even been considered as "Best Picture" against this Timeless Classic? I think the intervening years have proven the "MPA" very wrong on this one. There is no way that this picture, and ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Extended soundtrack
A lot of the extra songs are just meadley's of the hits but if you are a huge fan there are some neat audio goodies.
