CD Reviews

The greatest movie musical of all time now is a superb CD!
mikeyjs | 10/20/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Rhino has outdone themselves with this new SINGIN' IN THE RAIN double CD set. They have dramatically improved the sound since the last single CD, and added many tracks that weren't on their first issue. Secondly, someone wisely re-programmed the tracks so that some of the less interesting underscoring cues were moved to a "supplemenary section" on the 2nd disc, so that the listening experience of Disc One is a real treat.As for the music, it is of course, without peer. You get the great performance from the most beloved movie musical of all time. In addition, Rhino provides the ORIGINAL versions of all the SINGIN' IN THE RAIN songs, including 4 never-before-released tracks from BROADWAY MELODY OF 1936, and an obscure rendition of BEAUTIFUL GIRL sung by someone named Sam Ash (could he be the same guy that owned the music stores???). In any case, for fans of the movie, this is the quintessential soundtrack album. For MGM musical afficianados, this release is a dream come true."
Good but NO tap sounds

(3 out of 5 stars)

"I truly love the movie, but this soundtrack doesn't do it justice in my mind. Most of my favorite songs (Good Morning, Moses, Make them Laugh, etc.) depend heavily on the tapping in the background, which does NOT get carried into the soundtrack. I love the movie, and the music from the movie, but the soundtrack certainly leaves a lot to be desired. If you want to listen to a long CD with everything related to Singing in the Rain, this would be a good buy for you, but if you're looking for your favorite songs, I'd look to iTunes or Amazon's new DRM-free downloads."
Extra Great 50th Anniversary Edition!
S. Henkels | Devon, Pa United States | 02/24/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"2 Very Long CD's include every tune from the famous MGM musical, plus an extra edition of BROADWAY MELODY. CD 2 has a few tunes from the 1930's that may seem a bit dated, but the several numbers by Judy Garland, including SINGING IN THE RAIN, from the early 1940's easily make up. How can you miss with this soundtrack including MOSES SUPPOSES, GOOD MORNING, SINGING IN THE RAIN, and all the rest!"
