What soundtracks from movie musicals would you like to see released or reissued?Personally,I'd love to see CDs of "1776","Scrooge",and "At Long Last Love" to start,even if they're the original LP versions.As for reissues,I'd like to see Disney/Intrada do deluxe versions of "The Happiest Millionaire","Bedknobs And Broomsticks","Pete's Dragon","Babes In Toyland",and "The One and Only,Genuine Original Family Band".

I just need Scrooge. That's all.


Please. The rights are apparently a huge mess, but...it'd be a dream come true.

'Doctor Dolittle' (1967) could do with a reissue.

COMPLETE (i.e. expanded) versions of "Hello, Dolly!", "Star!" and "Doctor Dolittle".

An expanded "Finian's Rainbow".

Complete issues (a la the Rhino musical issues and the FSM issues of "Goodbye, Mr. Chips" and "Belle of New York") of "Till the Clouds Roll By," "Words and Music" and "Deep in My Heart".

This raises the question as to how much additional music is to be found in the classic 1960s musicals for which we've only had song soundtracks. I'm thinking of films such as THE MUSIC MAN, STATE FAIR, FUNNY GIRL, OLIVER, SWEET CHARITY, THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE, etc. I'd like to see Deputy Riley do a Complete Score Breakdown for some of these.

As for musicals that have never had a CD release, SONG OF NORWAY is at the top of my list. Also STOP THE WORLD--I WANT TO GET OFF, HALF A SIXPENCE, and THREE FOR THE SHOW.

Ron's got it right, with FINIAN'S and all those MGM classics --to which I would add THE BARKLEYS OF BROADWAY and INVITATION TO THE DANCE. And from Fox: DADDY LONG LEGS, (and was there ever a CD of GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES?).

There's more, of course, but that would do for openers...

Other than the Disney scores don't most musicals omit the orchestral stuff? (other than the overtures) I would really love to hear the entire score, not just the songs.

Personally, and disregarding the issue of missing elements or rights issues, I'd like to see complete CD releases of 1776, all the songs and all the score from the movie, and also the '73 version of Lost Horizon, again all the songs and all the score from the movie.

Of course John Barry's Alice's Adventures In Wonderland in complete form would be wonderful too! As would Mancini's Darling Lili.

The OBC of 'Stop The World' is available on CD. Far as I'm aware the filmed version was of a stage production which is unlikely to be released.

Although the film was shot as if it were a film recording of a live stage performance, the cast had not been in either the London or the Broadway productions. Even if they had been, I'm not sure why that would stop the release of the soundtrack recording if Warner Bros. still had the LP master.




Here's one of the songs from the film:

I once asked Tony Newley in the early 90s when he was involved with a production in a theatre I worked in, and he told me he didn't expect to see any recordings of 'Stop The World' to surface on CD.

I assume you are referring to The Slipper and the Rose.

All this musical talk - and no one has mentioned Alice Faye and her Fox musicals - would love to hear pre-recordings and stems from her Alfred Newman-conducted soundtracks. As well as all those unreleased MGM musicals already mentioned - "Till the Clouds Roll By" is one of my grails!

This one is LONG overdue !

From 1956, Alfred Newman and the De Sylva, Brown & Henderson back catalogue:

INVITATION TO THE DANCE

YES!

Especially the complete version of "Ring Around the Rosy" by Andre Previn.

For me it's the underscore for so many movie musicals that gets left behind. Specifically, some of Elvis's more popular films (BLUE HAWAII, etc.) have some great underscore - a box set for something like this would be order.

Likewise for some of Streisand's films, particularly the underscore for YENTL.

I know the songs are what people care about for musicals, so I've answered my own question, but surely there's a film score niche for these, as well as completist fans who would be interested, no?
