I'm looking forward to this release. The movie is a guilty pleasure. I wish someday we'd get a better quality Blu-ray than what is offered on the DVD.
My brother gave me the LP for Christmas many years ago, and both it, the music and the movie bring back fond memories.

Looking forward to this...
and what an irritating tagline on the Laserdisc: "The 'Send in the Clowns' Musical"...

That's too bad. I thought the treatment of the score was one of the things the movie got right.

The sound is great..the bonus tracks are lifted from the film its self-but it does contain one previously unreleased instrumental..from the stereo tapes..yes..bring on THE FANTASTICKS-the original cut was better than the Coppola cut..i do have the movie posters for The Fantasticks..
As I recall, Kritzerland embarked upon releasing this score, but backed off when it was discovered that one (or both?) of the songwriting team was against it.
Both of the songwriters were against the release, and since they're both friends of mine I scotched it. But it would be very difficult for anyone to attempt any release of the film score against the wishes of the songwriters - they are the only ones who actually a copy of the songs that have the correctly comped vocals - having looked at all the multitrack tapes and how many takes there were of everything, it would be a real nightmare trying to figure all of that out.

I have mixed feelings. We're getting offered cd-r's. woo hoo  .
I don't know. Would I rather have a CD-R from the master tapes, or a Harkit-like pressed CD from an LP rip?
In the cd-releasing-universe, these are not the only choices.

Songwriters? Has Stephen Sondheim become two people?
On what might have been... the best director for this film would have been Stanley Donen, with Audrey Hepburn as Desiree.

Finally bought the download. It is so good to hear the soundtrack album after so many years (I had the LP a long, long time ago). Len Cariou is fantastic.... and Diana Rigg is sublime. As someone else commented above, the bonus tracks are a disappointment, but the original album is a treat.
I just found this clip of the opening number on Youtube with Elizabeth Taylor's undubbed vocals: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDtZXtKuQ5c
