Brillant Memories of Blood Brothers - By: D. S. D. Hunter, 30 Oct 2008
Close your eyes & play this CD & you are backin the theatre listening to this wonderful musical. Hours later you still have the music & the words buzzing around your head as it is so memorable. Stephanie Lawerence is very good playing Mrs Johnstone, & was an exceptional singer but the Liverpool accent was perhaps best produced by Linda Nolan although she did not have the quality of Stephanie's voice. I have see the musical four times with the same Narrator,and he is is superior to Warwick Evans. Also, Eddie is today played with gusto & at all four performances he has been fantastic & what an accent. At all performances the audience has given a standing ovation to the musical & its cast. The CD relates the story with its wonderful music & words exceptionally well, backed up with the important sections from the Narrator. Buy this CD & relive the magic of Blood Brothers.

THE BEST - By: MUSIC MAD, 19 Aug 2008
THIS IS A TERRIFIC REMINDER OF WHAT A TREMENDOUS STAGE PERFORMER STEPHANIE LAWRENCE WAS. SHE HAS FEW RIVALS FOR THE ROLE OF MRS JOHNSTONE, MANY HAVE PLAYED IT SUCCESSFULLY BUT THE DESPERATION OF HER PLIGHT AT THE END OF THE SHOW HAS NEVER BEEN MATCHED. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT CAST RECORDING ALL ROUND AND DEFINITELY THE ONE TO BUY FOR AN AUTHENTIC REPRESENTATION OF ONE OF THE FINEST BRITISH MUSICALS EVER WRITTEN.
BUY IT!!

Disappointing Sound Quality - By: A. James, 26 May 2008
I strongly urge anyone who hasn't seen or heard Blood brothers to do so; even if you don't usually like musicals you can't fail to be entertained & moved by this one. It has to be one of the best. A great story, well observed, fabulous songs, good character development & a really moving experience. Although this was a great production & cast, unfortunately I found the sound quality really let the recording down. It is echoey & hollow as if it had been recordedin a bathroom & 'Tell me it's not true' the most moving song lacks the roundness & big build up of the original soundtrack. Stick to the original recording.

Still beautiful today - By: Mrs. L. A. Smith, 31 Mar 2008
Blood Brothers was one of the first musicals I saw many years ago now & I did have a cassette of the soundtrack which during many house moves has gotten lost. I downloaded this version of the soundtrack from itunes recently & have fallenin love with it all over again - the music moves from gritty to humorous to moving & never fails to help relive the joy of this wonderful show.
I used to own the Barbara Dickson version of this soundtrack but prefer this version with Stephanie Lawrence she sings so beautifully - an absolute must for musical fans.
