Rating: - Julie at her best!
The only reason I didn't give this CD five stars is because of the inferior sound quality.This is the original 1968 album,and it is evident
that poor sound elements were used for the transfer.However,I understand that there were problems with album licensing rights,so this one will have to do until someone does a remastered version.But bad sound aside,
"Star!" is also a top-notch musical showcase for its star.Julie has never sounded better.Her voice is crystal-clear,and her timing,phrasing,and ... Read More

Sometimes you just have to be glad/thankful YOU CAN EVEN GET the music from a favorite film or artist. I remember feeling that way when I saw this CD in a store some time after viewing what I thought was an EXCELLENT movie.

Rating: - Good Music - Bad Mastering
When STAR! was being prepared for VHS and LaserDisc (from original 65mm camera negative and six track magnetic soundtrack) Fox Records decided to jump on the bandwagon with a CD reissue of the soundtrack album.

A strong case was made for a full remaster of the CD, using all the complete musical numbers from the original film soundtrack elements (which were all within reach) but creating new complete tracks would mean paying re-use fees, and a lot more money than Fox Records wanted to spend. ... Read More

Rating: - STAR! the CD outshines the movie
The CD,the movie poster and even the trailer of the film for that matter, outshines the movie itself, which is a shame. I'm a huge fan of Julie Andrews and have enjoyed most things she's done. The CD soundtrack of the movie is excellant. All the numbers are here and some new and extended versions as well, FORBIDDEN FRUIT, STAR.

So why do both the record and now the CD have edited versions of BURLINGTON BERTIE and THE PHYSICIAN. The film version has extra verses on both these songs that seem to ... Read More
