5 out of 5 stars FINALLY, the soundtrack sounds as it should   May 4, 2008
I purchased the first CD release of this soundtrack and it was awful. Tape hiss was so bad, and echo was there from RCA using the album master instead of the original master tapes. Now, after hearing this version, RCA has obviously gone to great care to make this soundtrack sound brilliant and as good as I thought it should always sound. RCA's living stereo recordings were superb and that is exactly what we get here! They have eliminated all of the voice echo, the orchestra sounds full, and the master tapes for the soundtrack album are in better shape...sounding better than the tracks on the film (DVD) do.

You get the original soundtrack recording, plus many of the recordings from the 6-track magnetic music masters used for the film. The RCA soundtrack recording selections, in my opinion, survived better than the film masters. They are cleaner and brighter and the stereo is beautiful.

I strongly recommend this edition (40th anniversary) to anyone who loves this soundtrack regardless of if they own a previous edition, none of them live up to this one. It's finally perfect!



4 out of 5 stars Brings you right to every seen in the movie.....   April 6, 2008
The sound track is great!! I listened to it so much when I got it that I burned myself out!!! I had to take a little break before listening to it again. It would be a great gift. Everyone loves the Sound of Music.

Me and my kids love this one. Case was in worn shape, but mailed within days of purchase and the CD is quality.


5 out of 5 stars Fantastic! Perfect Soundtrack   January 24, 2008
This soundtrack is fantastic! It has every song from the movie, and even a few commentaries at the end. If you enjoy the movie, you will love this CD. You can relive the movie just by listening to the soundtrack!


5 out of 5 stars Awesome!   January 8, 2008
We love, love this sound track. We especially love how the music flows like the movie and enjoy remembering our favorite parts of the movie. We feel like were right there singing along with Julie Andrews.
