 Great Soundtrack March 13, 2006
This soundtrack was a great buy. I had tried to find it every where and I finally found it here on Amazon.com at a reasonable price. If you like to listen to the orchastrations or just to the cast of this movie the Singin' in the Rain Soundtrack is an excillant find.

What good is a soundtrack of Singin' in the Rain without taps? For goodness' sake, that's what the whole movie was about. Lost is a beautiful artistry of Donald O'Connor and Gene Kelly, in favor of bland music that was meant to serve only as a background for their talents. Their rhythms were what brought out the best in the dance numbers, not the dumb orchestra! Boooo.
Singin' in the Rain (1952 Film Soundtrack) September 5, 2005

I purchased this CD at the request of my 9 year old daughter! She danced to "Good Morning" with her dance troupe this year. So, we rented the DVD, which she loved, and then wanted to own the DVD and the soundtrack. The music is fabulous! We all love to listen and sing along, and both my dancing daughters love to play the CD and make up their own dances. It is a CD the whole family enjoys!
Not Perfect, But Fairly Close I Think! November 15, 2002

Well, I wish they had "left in" the tapping feet, but otherwise, this album is the original soundtrack all right! I especially liked it that different versions of some songs were used ("Would You", "All I Do Is Dream of You", "Beautiful Girl", etc.), some only slightly different and others fairly radically. Too bad lyrics weren't included in the booklet! If I may be picky, I would have also liked it more were the photos in color. Otherwise, I can't think of anything else to say other than that if the movie's touched your heart, then this CD ought to do the same!

One of the other reviewers mentioned that the dialogue, tapping, applause, etc. included in previous releases of this soundtrack were annoying. I must disagree. I believe that THIS release, especially without the tap, is both annoying and boring. The dialogue and tapping are parts of the songs for me...part of the rhythm. Without them, the songs lose their spark. Even my 4-year old son noticed the absence of the dialogue and tapping. I was highly disappointed with this CD and now I'm frustrated because I cannot find a CD version to replace the old, worn out (though still wonderful) cassette we have been listening to.
