A vibrant tribute to MGM's legendary confluence of brains, talent, hard work, ambition--and dare we say it?--massive egos, Singin' in the Rain long ago took its rightful place among the first rank of the studio's dizzying catalog of film musicals. This double-disc, 46-track 50th-anniversary edition features all of the film's familiar songs, as well as numerous outtakes and extended versions, many culled directly from the film's original recording masters. Its second disc also chronicles the film's clever--if studio imposed--self-referential musical gambit of recycling a slate of Arthur Freed/Nacio Herb Brown songs from Metro's first decade by including 14 of the originals, including performances by Jeanette McDonald, Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, and Freed himself. Featuring a dozen previously unreleased recordings and an illustrated booklet containing the insightful reminiscences of the film's original writers, Betty Comden and Adolph Green, it's the ultimate musical companion to one of cinema's magical, enduring masterpieces. --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

The complete 50th Anniversary Edition and a bonus disc featuring the original recordings that inspired the 1952 MGM classic! Includes 12 previously unreleased tracks 'Would You?' (duet) (unused version), 'Beautiful Girl' (unused original version), 'Singin' In The Rain' (alternative vocal), 'Should I' (unused instrumental), 'You Were Meant For Me', 'All I Do Is Dream Of You', 'Broadway Rhythm', 'You Are My Lucky Star', 'Would You?', 'Dancing On A Rainbow' plus 'Broadway Melody Ballet' (original version).

5 out of 5 stars the perfect movie.......2007-03-10

My old Gene did it: the perfect movie, the perfect american history, the perfect music. Some people think musicals are "B" movies. I say them: look about the dream, the performance, the music.
Who can say what is beatiful? Look at faces of Gene and Stan during the shooting on the set: whole concentration and attention for everything.
This is a unique moment in their story, and in the story of cinema.
Unforgettable.

5 out of 5 stars I LOVE MY FAVORITE SONG, AND THANKS TO THIS CD I CAN LISTEN TO IT ALL DAY LONG!!.......2007-01-28

I love Singin' in the Rain. It was the movie that made me like musicals, not those simple, mellow movies like South Pacific and the Sound of Music, but REAL musicals, with people like Fred Astaire or Eleanor Powell tapping their hearts out, or great singers like Frances Langford or Dick Powell putting over a song like they mean it.The Singin' in the Rain 2disc special edition introduced me to my favorite movie, the Broadway Melody of 1936, the MOST AMAZING MOVIE EVER! So I was so glad when my parents got me the soundtrack to Singin' in the Rain, and besides the music of the 1951 versions of the Nacio Herb Brown/Arthur Freed, there are also the original versions of the songs in their original movies. I am so glad that Rhino put the duet of Robert Taylor and June Knight singing I've Got a Feelin' You're Foolin' on this CD set! It's my favorite song, and now I can listen to it! Hooray!! It's the best song EVER!! There's also vocals of Charles King singing the Broadway Melody, which is great! And many more, like Bing Crosby, Frances Langford, Jeanette MacDonald, and other great singers I can't think of right now. This CD set is great, the sound is nice and un-staticy (mostly), there are 30-plus songs, and the price is phenomenal. I love my favorite song, and now I can listen to it all day long!! Yay! :)

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Soundtrack to a Wonderful Movie.......2006-06-16

Yes, this is it--the first real musical I ever saw. Okay, I saw "Wizard of Oz" and "The Sound of Music", and I love both of those musicals dearly. I had even seen "My Fair Lady." I thought musicals were all like those. Until this one. I had never seen such dancing. And this CD causes me to relive the joy of the musical each time I listen to it. Complete with the tap sounds. I love that they included even the deleted songs. Now we just need a DVD that has all the deleted scenes in context. But the studio probably threw all those away. Oh well, our imaginations can take care of what is missing.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD.......2006-03-20

This is a great CD of music for your family to listen to. Our family enjoys it very much.

4 out of 5 stars musical memories.......2006-03-14

I enjoyed this CD very much, as I remember seeing the movie years ago. I grew up watching MGM musicals and this was one of the best. I loved all of the wonderful songs that came from this movie. Great sound on this CD.

I love Mannheim Steamroller's Christmas music, so I've been collecting their music for other holidays as well. I wish they'd avoided the occasional speaking parts in this but I love most of the musical parts. They did a good job on the Aaron Copland piece! I'll be listening to it other than on July 4th.

Album Description

Flunk's debut album "For Sleepyheads Only" introduced the US to Norway's stylish synth pop trio of Ulf Nygaard (producer and vocalist), singer Anja Øyen Vister, guitarist Jo Bakke and associated member, drummer Erik Ruud. Their cover of New Order's "Blue Monday" gave them not only critical acclaim but a large following from the track appearing on a slew of stateside releases. Described as "woozy, gauzy, muted, blurry and very groovy", Flunk occupies that unlikely place between folk and electronica. At once organic and studio-tweaked, the Flunk sound layers Björk-like Anja's creamy, dreamy vocals over a hushed base of samples, keys, and softly strummed guitars, creating an ethereal, past-midnight vibe. On Morning Star, they have evolved this sound further creating a pure indie sound with less emphasis on electronica.

In keeping with Flunk's tradition of New Order covers, on Morning Star we are treated to a live studio recording of "True Faith". Morning Star also delivers very strong original material with the title track "Morning Star", as well as "On My Balcony", "Blind My Mind", and "Probably" showcasing the superb songwriting talents of Flunk.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Love this album, did not dissapoint .......2006-11-29

Though this album differs from "For Sleepyheads only", I love the new direction that it has taken, more organic, almost Portishead at some points. For those of you that miss the first album check out Slopho, you might like it. Also Violet Indiana if you like more guitar.

4 out of 5 stars ugh..............2006-05-08

I like Flunk and was listening to them before it was even on the OC. I'm actually disappointed that they played a Flunk song on the OC. Gosh, like i'm sooo listening to Flunk because they played it on the OC.

3 out of 5 stars No as good as For Sleepy Heads Only.......2006-01-07

Flunk's For Sleepyheads Only is a downbeat/chill out masterpiece and Morning Star tries to live up to For Sleepyheads Only but doesn't quite make it. Morning Star is much less electronic than For Sleepyheads Only. Tracks like Kemikal Girl and I've Been Waiting All My Life To Leave You sound like they jumped off of 70's AM radio and don't do much for me at all. It's nothing but guitar and vocals very slow and laidback. It's because of songs like the two mentioned, Flunk sound a lot like a folk band from the 1970's. But there are strong tracks like Six Seven Times and Morning Star that are quite nice and sound much more like what For Sleepyheads was like.

On For Sleepyheads Only there was a cover of the New Order classic Blue Monday and Flunk have decided to do the same with Morning Star and included a live version of True Faith. Unfortunately this is a bit annoying to me as I am used to the beats of the New Order classic track and there aren't any here just guitars and vocals. It's too bad what they did to it.

So if you're looking the For Sleepyheads Only sound then you will be disappointed with Morning Star but if you can get past that and appreciate your folksy sounding 70's music then you will enjoy this album by Flunk. For something quite different check out their remixes of For Sleepyheads Only called Treat Me Like You Do. There are some great remixes on there.

4 out of 5 stars Life CAN be wonderful - with Anja cooing in your ear.......2005-11-14

A solid 4.5 stars.

I am more than a little late in jumping on the Flunk fan float. I have always listened to their CDs whenever I have gone into B&N, Virgin, wherever, yet kept putting off buying them for some insane reason - still trying to figure that one out. It was only when I noticed that "For Sleepyheads Only" and "Treat Me Like You Do" (remix CD of "For Sleepyheads Only") were no longer available for easy purchase that I flew into a panic, and into action. I saw that I couldn't order either, except from independent sellers on Amazon for $60 or more, and could no longer find copies at Virgin Records, B&N, or Towers - all said they did not have copies and could not order them because they were out of print. OK, you have my attention now. I was finally able to track all of them down for < $20 on Amazon (Thank God for Amazon and it's international independent sellers - ended up finding mine in the UK, of course), and have not been disappointed that I made the frantic, scrambling effort.

This album is amazing, from beginning to end, but particularly in the beginning for me - "Play", "Morning Star", and "On My Balcony" are absolutely incredible and Anja's voice is from heaven. Definitely not the stereotypical voice one might hear on the radio (who listens to the radio anymore?), but the organic, ethereal sound that we as trip-hop fans have embraced.

The cover of "True Faith" performed live proves that Anja's voice is for real, whether reccorded in the studio or behind a live mic. Flunk's cover treatments of songs, "True Faith" on this album and "Blue Monday" on "For Sleepyheads Only", gives me a new respect for the act of covering songs, a practice that usually falls flat. They truly take these songs and make them their own, which is saying something with these two previously established and highly respected tracks.

I really fell in love with the album, though, the other night when listening to it while running errands in my car. The weather was beautiful, windows and sunroof open, sun setting over the mountains in Colorado, foothills all of 1/2 mile west of where I live, and Anja/Flunk provided the most amazing soundtrack that made even the mundane practice of running errands feel like a vacation.

Don't put this one off like I did or you will be kicking yourself later like I am now.

5 out of 5 stars It's a soothing delight and it's smoothing my life .......2005-08-27

"All I wanna do/Is sit here on my balcony/And think about you and me/And how happy we could be..."

Norwegian band Flunk achieve near perfection in "Morning Star," their second "folktronic" album. Languid, mellow and charmingly catchy, this is also graced with angelic vocals and a sense of romantic realism. It's an album for people drunk on love, but with a taste for heartbreak.

It opens with a slow sweep of electronica and sweet vocals: "Everyone/Every singer and every song/Everyone/And every lover whose lover's gone..." Soon Flunk has slipped into a blurry, ethereal groove, which is grounded by the folky melodies of their wispy electronic music.

From there on, the band kicks off into a series of enchantingly sweet folktronic songs: dreamy pop melodies, electronic swirls, folksy guitar balladry, and chirrupy little dancey numbers. And Flunk explores emotions too, starting with the warm rush of early love, but slowly descending as trust is lost.

The album ends on a poignant note, with the speaker announcing, "After all I have no more to say/To you." After being lied to, she ends up wandering in the rain, dazed by the breakup and asking, "Who would dare to bring me love?"

What exactly makes Flunk such a good band? First and foremost, it's obviously the music. This quartet blends folk melodies and electronic wizardry together, producing both dreamy ambience and bouncy pop. Jo Bakke's gently folky guitar and Erik Rudd's solid drumming serve to highlight Ulf Nygaard's smooth programming.

And Anja Oyen Vister is the icing on this enchanting musical cake. Vocally, she's a dead ringer for Icelandic chanteuse Emiliana Torrini, with the same breathy fragility and sweetness. Even better, she sounds like she actually means every word of the songs she sings.

Which is the perfect voice to wisp out lines about how "you know that a love affair/is a lot like the rainbow... you should know that the beauty of life/is the beauty of falling in love..." A few songs like "Morning Star" have too-simplistic lyrics, but fortunately Vister's vocals are enough to overcome whatever boredom they might inspire.

Few bands can create such a perfect, enchantingly sweet music. But Flunk's "Morning Star" is one of those rare little collections, which is pure beauty from start to finish.

    Good film music should be seen and not heard--that is, it's usually there for background, to reinforce what you're seeing, not to draw attention to itself. So why listen to it? Often that's a mystery, but the items in this collection seem to have been selected because they are interesting music (Prokofiev, Copland, Bernstein) or because they are so familiar that they bring back memories of favorite movies (Laura, High Noon, Star Wars). Like much movie music, a lot of these items are sentimental and overblown, even the more famous ones. (Those famous screaming strings in Psycho can sound silly without the onscreen action.) But if you want one movie-music CD in your collection, this may be the one to have. --Leslie Gerber

    5 out of 5 stars Worth it for "Conquest" alone.......2005-09-12

    The stirring martial music from the movie "Captain from Castille" ("Conquest") is on this album and so far as I know it's the only CD you'll find it on. But other tracks are great also, including the "Parade of the Charioteers" from "Ben Hur," the theme from "The Magnificent Seven," and "The Imperial March" from Star Wars.

    5 out of 5 stars A GREAT COMPILATION!.......2005-06-05

    I've come to appreciate soundtracks more and more. This compilation progresses chronologically through 60 years of film music, starting with 1939's "The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood", and ending with "Titanic". It encompasses a huge range of styles. Along with the usual suspects - music from "Ben-Hur", "The Magnificent 7", "Star Wars", et al, there are a few real sleepers, like John Barry's medieval-flavored theme to "The Lion in Winter", or Leonard Roseman's lyrical "East of Eden". Blessedly, most of the tracks are original recordings, conducted by the composers, among them Leonard Bernstein and Aaron Copland. Only those of us burned by tinny, tacky, sacriligiously rearranged retreads on obscure labels can appreciate this.

    There are a few notable omissions. The prolific Randy Newman isn't represented, though Uncle Alfred is. And NO Ennio Morricone? - incredible! Presumably, this has more to do with Sony's current copyrights and contracts than the relative merits of the composers. And it's fine to have John Williams included twice, but why two pieces from "Star Wars"? Why not the theme from "Jaws", for instance? Or "Sugarland Express", for a really unexpected treat? But these are minor quibbles. And for whatever it's lacking, there's no fluff substituted. This is real music from fine craftsmen, which sometimes attains art. A great intro to the form, and wonderful just to listen to. I bought it used - one of my best deals ever!

    3 out of 5 stars So So Compilation.......2002-01-14

    My major interest in this CD was in the selection entitled "Robin Hood And His Merry Men" (duration: 4 min, 28 sec), conducted by John Williams, and performed by the London Symphony Orchestra. It turns out that this is a re-issue of the track from Sony Classical SK 62788, 1997. Surprisingly, this performance is poky, ponderous, and prodding. The conducting is, well, somnambulistic. Miking/mixing/processing yields a sonic brick deficient in instrumental nuances while sounding like way too many musicians were shoe horned into the recording studio. As for the rest of the tracks, it's hard to believe, but Silva America offers better compilations! Best to skip this one.

    5 out of 5 stars Deserves more than five stars.......2000-06-23

    I have several discs of film music, and this one if by far the best. As one of the previous reviewers noted, there are many peices absent that could have been included here, but I don't see how anyone could be completely satisfied with any compilation that fit on just one disc.

    The performances here are crisp and clear, and include a good selection of both old and new, ranging from traditional film favorites like the Star Wars theme, to less common selections like the screeching strings from Psycho (at least, I think they're less common, but I could be wrong). And I could listen to the Magnificent Seven theme over and over.

    Anyway, this is a great disc for almost anyone. If you're looking for one thing in particular, find that film's soundtrack, but otherwise, this is a fantastic disc, and one of my favorites!

    4 out of 5 stars Music In Film (NPR Milestones of the Millennium.......2000-05-02

    Great CD;the music is crystal clear with an excellent variety demonstrating the wide variety of musical talents in Hollywood. Liner notes are also most interesting, explaining some of the history behind the cuts and pointing out differences in the composers styles...as with John Barry. His style ranges from "the Lion in Winter" bold dramatic soundtrack to the exquisitley tender "Dances with Wolves" theme music. A CD to enjoy over and over

    5 out of 5 stars Simply put: The "BEST" of Marta's CDs.......2002-04-06

    This is Transylvanian (Erdelyi) music at it's BEST!!! Muzsikas *never* disappoints one and Marta Sebestyen has proven herself to be a "world-acclaimed" songstress: with a voice beyond comparison. I love the trills and half-step note variations which is the hallmark of Mezosegi violin playing ... most of this CD originates from this region. There is a slight off key note variation which becomes addictive ... the more you listen the more you love it. If traditional Hungarian folk music appeals to you - this CD is quite the best that Marta Sebestyen has yet produced (unless you love Balkan or Croatian, she is *very* versatile in style and nationality but 100% Hungarian in birth)!!! Erika Borsos (erikab93)

    5 out of 5 stars Wonderful, transporting music.......2002-01-20

    I bought this CD after a friend gave me another Muzikas album, and I fell in love with Marta Sebestyen's lovely voice and the sound of those shimmering fiddles.

    This particular recording is great because it features a fairly broad range of Hungarian folk music and the liner notes are quite extensive (unlike some other Muzikas recordings) which helps those of us unfamiliar with Hungarian music figure out, "What is that wonderful sound?"

    Although much has been written about Sebestyen since "The English Patient," it is the instrumentalists who keep me interested. The heterophonic violin textures, the cymbalom and the funky hit-gardon sound unlike anything west of Lake Balaton.

    5 out of 5 stars Wonderful !.......1999-10-11

    Marta Sebestyen & Muzsikas are a wonderful treat, especially in concert. The Morning Star CD captures the soul of their music and makes you want to hear it again and again!

    3 out of 5 stars fine recording.......2001-12-21

    The 1984 West End production of the classic SINGIN' IN THE RAIN was a very successful revival of a classic film which translated perfectly to the stage, and heading the cast was veteran musical performer Tommy Steele as Don Lockwood. It played at the London Palladium to packed houses.

    The cast also featured Roy Castle as Cosmo Brown, Danielle Carson as Kathy Seldon and Sarah Payne as Lina Lamont. A fantastic ensemble was headed by Joyce Carpenter.

    Danielle Carson brings the house down with the 'Valentine Girls' in "I Can't Give You Anything But Love", which replaced "All I Do Is Dream Of You". Ms Carson also gives a lovely treatment of "Would You?".

    Tommy Steele proves his showmanship with "You Are My Lucky Star", "Singin' In The Rain", and "Fascinating Rhythm". Roy Castle is great in the comical "Make 'Em Laugh", while Sarah Payne is given time to shine in "Temptation".

    Overall a fine recording.

    3 out of 5 stars Leave it to the Yanks, please...........2001-07-18

    I've heard two London recordings of the classic Singin' in the Rain, and I have to say that they just don't translate well. In my opinion Gene Kelley made the recording and the movie. It's a musical about the Golden age of Hollywood, it just doesn't have anything outstandingly British about it. The actors give terrible American accents, and Make Em Laugh made me weep. It just isn't worth the money, kids. Stick to the OBCR.

    The pristine tones and lilting melodies of the Celtic harp are immediately inviting. Celtic Harpestry, a companion to a PBS performance special, explores a sound both traditional and modern in a tasteful and evocative collection. This isn't a purist's album--half of the harpists aren't even from the Celtic isles, and among the album's old Irish chestnuts is "My Heart Will Go On," the love theme from Titanic. The otherwise-joyful Belfast Harp Orchestra tromp through the James Horner tune, almost pulling some subtlety out of its overwrought themes. Turlough O'Carolan, the blind patron saint of the Celtic harp, might wish he were deaf as well, if he could hear it. But the bard would be thrilled to hear the 12-piece BHO playing the traditional "Brian Boru's Set" or one of founder Janet Harbison's zephyrlike originals. Her "Earth, Water, Wind and Fire" elicits shifting textures and colors that belie their traditional roots. The song also exemplifies the ethereal side of the Celtic harp explored on Celtic Harpestry with artists like Rüdiger Oppermann. Playing a wire-strung harp accompanied by bass and keyboards, the German harpist soars through crystalline melodies whether he's playing traditional tunes or originals. The most traditional sound actually comes from the American players. Cheryl Ann Fulton gives a straight-up rendition of "Breton Medley," and jazz harpist Deborah Henson-Conant is refreshingly restrained, faithfully rendering "Londonderry Aire (Danny Boy)" and "The Minstrel Boy." Although Celtic Harpestry focuses on slow airs, there are robust performances here, including those by Máire Ni Chathasaigh's group and the harp and vocal duo of Sileas. Outside of the Titanic love theme, Celtic Harpestry is an elegantly wrought collection. --John Diliberto

    4 out of 5 stars Celtic Meets Classical.......2007-07-12

    Hard rock it ain't. Celtic Harpestry: A Contemporary Celtic Collection may cite "contemporary" in its title, but the style is classic. Rich harmonies and intricate musical textures rise to a crescendo in "Earth, Water, Wind And Fire," the final cut, performed by the Belfast Harp Orchestra.

    This collection overlaps several genres. Celtic, classical and New Age meet in what may be the instrument most associated with classical melodies.

    If you are a fan of Rap or Hip Hop, keep looking. If you want a hoedown, this is not going to be your cuppa joe. But if you are looking for something elegant - background music for a business or important meeting, for example - this is a wonderful, understated choice.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent Celtic Cd.......2006-12-30

    A sibling to "Harpestry," this is a wonderful cd. I am a harper and head up a Celtic Harp Choir at my church (I'm a fulltime church music director), and I have used this cd as a model for my musicians. It's very pleasant to listen to, and you definitely get a good feel for the Celtic style. I highly recommend this!

    5 out of 5 stars Just lovely!.......2003-05-25

    This uplifting compilation CD from Imaginary Road Records, actually the soundtrack to the public television special "Celtic Harpestry at Lismore Castle, Ireland", is simply beautiful. Especially wonderful are the five numbers by the Belfast Harp Orchestra, an ensemble of 12 harpists who demonstrate remarkable intonation and stunning coordination as they play together on instruments that are difficult enough just to play alone. What a great concept, and what great musicianship! Also featured are individual performers such as Maire Ni Chathasaigh on Irish harp, Rudiger Oppermann on wire-strung harp, Cheryl Ann Fulton on a contemporary lever harp, the harp and song duo Sileas, and Deborah Henson-Conant on a "Camac `Baby Blue' Celtic electroharp". Other instruments, including Uilleann pipes and whistle, violin, viola and concertina, occasionally join in, but the focus is on the harp itself. In all its many forms and combinations, the harpestry on this recording remains soothingly delicate in timbre while at the same time scintillating in technique--in short, a pure delight. If you enjoy "Celtic Harpesty", you're sure to like it's companion release, "Harpestry: A Contemporary Collection", featuring more of a worldwide assortment of harpers. Another great harp compilation CD is "Faces of the Harp" from Narada.

    5 out of 5 stars Amazing.......2001-08-30

    I always had a desire to learn to play the Celtic harp...and the PBS special and especially this CD made that desire boil over. Don't buy another harp CD before you've listened to this one!
    No matter how many times I have listened to this recording, I ALWAYS break into a smile when the Belfast Harp Orchestra begins to play. Nothing prepares you for that 12-harp sound!
    Order this CD with overnight shipping!!!

    5 out of 5 stars The best harpestry CD!.......2001-07-23

    One day in a music shop, my hand knocked three CDs off of a rack. The first CD, though the case was cracked, caught my eye. I bought it five minutes later. In this sweetly harmonized collection, nearly all the songs are wonderful. I would have bought the CD for only My Heart Will Go On-the song is a skillful take of the Titanic (movie) theme, and it seems almost to have a voice of its own. This is a must-have for any harp music lover!

      This Cd is delightful. I love Leslet Garrett's voice but most of all, I love the selection. This cd is great for introducing any true lover of opperetta to some truly great operas and composers. I originally bought this cd for a musical glimpse at Sullivans 'The Contrabandista' and discovered the beautiful worlds of Offenbach and Lehar and so many more that can not be heard except in pieces (many of which only exist on this cd such as 'The Contrabandista' and 'The Opera Ball' and 'The Dancing Years'). I recommend that anyone who loves opera buy this album. But on a final note, all of the songs are sung in english, even those not originally done so.

      1 out of 5 stars What a remarkable voice, it's deserves your attention.......2000-11-05

      If you adore great singing by a super star this cd is for you. What a voice! Everytime I hear it, I loose my breath i'm so excited. I tell you, there are not many voices like this around. When you find one you have better latch on to it for there may not be another.

      The main concern I had for this cd was the repertoire. It had too many songs that I didn't particulary like. If the repertoire had of been better this cd would definately have been a 5. I will say this, Lesley's voice was super even on the songs that I didn't like.

      I know a lot of people are unfamiliar with Lesley, since she lives in the U.K., but she deserves you attention. She is a great talent.

      Recommendation: Despite giving this cd a low rating, I still would like to recommend it.
