Great songs, great singers, great value. - By: redfibee, 16 Aug 2008
I bought this to take on holiday with us. We sang along to it for hours.

A good soundtrack - By: K. L. Willard, 17 May 2008
I've always loved the film Oliver! especially singing along with the musical numbersin the film. So recently I purchased the CD soundtrack.

I already love the songs so there's no issue there but the songs are cut from what is heardin the film. This disapointed me which is why i've only given it three stars.

Musically superb. - By: Steve, 05 Sep 2007
There are few musicals with so many great numbers as Oliver!: 'Consider Yourself'; 'You've Got to Pick a Pocket or Two'; 'As Long As He Needs Me'; 'Reviewing the Situation'....the list just goes on & on. Lionel Bart never wrote a better musical (and I'm not sure anyone else did). It's now an incredible bargain at Amazon's current price of under £3-00. Some people prefer the stage recording (there are some odd balancesin this, the film recording, but they don't detract from the pleasure) ; but for sheer joy & wonderful orchestral arrangements, you should snap this up.

Terrific.

The film - on disk - By: B. J. Hallett, 12 Jul 2005
Oliver! is one of those shows which has become well known through the film. Although the stage show has a few extra songs, Carol Reid's cinema version is a faithful adaptation which delivers spectacle aplenty, & has served as the definitive cinema musical for many others. The recording is faithful, but adds nothing to the film itself, & suffers from a weak lead that cannot be lifted when the visuals are removed. I would recommend the London Revival above this recording, but film fans may well enjoy this version.

"It a fine, FIIIIINE life" - By: C. Crabtree, 03 Nov 2004
What a fantastic film with a brilliant soundtrack. I used to watch this when I was only 2 & from then on knew the entire film off by heart, including the script.

If you like musicals, then this is the one for you. It is a real get up & dance type film, & will have you entertained for hours even though there are no pictures to watch.

And who says you have to be able to sing to enjoy this soundtrack? Half the timein the Oom Pa Pa song there are lots of drunk men singing, so if you are really terrible you can always play/ sing those parts.

Great price. buy buy buy!!
