Customer Reviews

great to see this on CD
I saw the movie when it came out in '78 a total of SEVEN times! I had the soundtrack on vinyl, but not any more. I also own the video and my daughter LOVES this movie. I was a big MJ fan. This soundtrack is absolutely amazing! Aside from the fact that two of popular music's most talented people were paired together to make music history afterwards (MJ and Quincy), this entire soundtrack is a non-stop joy, from Diana and MJ's "Ease On Down the Road" to "Don't Nobody Bring Me No Bad News" by the late Mabel King to the heart-stopping "If You Believe" by Lena Horne. A must-have! And if you don't own the movie, I highly recommend getting that as well. You won't be disappointed.

Worth every penny!
It took forever for this soundtrack to be released on CD, and though expensive it is worth every penny. The double CD soundtrack has been remastered for its initial release, and this is by far the best sounding quality CD I have ever heard (and I have a huge collection of CDs).From the opening overture brilliantly arranged by Quincy Jones, to Diana Ross' soulful rendition of "Home," you have nearly eighty minutes of solid non-stop music. Every track is a gem. Since having bought this double CD set I now remember why I used to play this album so much back in the fall of 1978 (along with the "Grease" soundtrack but that's another review). I love every song on this album.If you had the original two LP set you won't be disappointed in this remastered two CD set. It's GREAT!!

They Don't Make 'Em Like This Anymore!
I don't get all the negative reviews for this soundtrack, or even the 1978 film version of the Broadway musical. I saw it when was 11 years old in the theater and LOVED it - sure it has a few flat moments, but I love the Sidney Lumet "old school" way of shooting dance sequences in long, continuous takes so you can, ahem, actually see them DANCE - I loved the urban NYC authentic locations, the subway pillar monsters, the motorcycle monkeys, the Tony Walton-designed gigantic sets, and that cool linoleum yellow brick road - hello, people?! Anyway back to the soundtrack CD abso-tutely brimming with brilliant 70s/disco/funk/soul gems from Q - Brand New Day (catch the intro vocals by the one & only, late & lamented Luther Vandross), Ain't Nobody Bring Me No Bad News (the late, great Mabel King), Ease On Down the Road (I bought of the 45 and wore that mutha out on my portable stereo as a kid!), Emerald City Sequence ("I wouldn't be caught dead...in RED!"), and esp the straight-up phonkey "Poppy Girls Theme" - plus who can forget Ms. Lena Horne turning it out on "Believe in Yourself" and finally Ms. Ross pouring her heart out (and shedding some real tears) on her own take of the finale "Home" - sure, she can't sing always on-key and as well as Stephanie Mills as the original Dorothy, but La Ross sells this song! I remember the gatefold deluxe LP (back in the day), and the cool 70s disco packaging - yup, they don't make 'em like they used to. But at least you can now cherish the CD/DVD!
