From Amazon.com Lionel Bart's wonderful musical adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic was the first London stage musical to be transplanted to Broadway with the same kind of sensation it received in Britain-- something that is now common in these post-Cats/Les Miserables times. Although no one from this British cast ever became enormously famous (future Monkee Davy Jones was in the second Broadway cast)--and Sir Carol Reed's film version receives all the critical accolades--this remains the better recording, featuring all the songs cut from the film, while excluding the film's musical interludes that simply seem annoying without the visuals. Just compare Bruce Brochnik to the film's Mark Lester in the title role. Or Clive Revill to Ron Moody's Fagin. Or any of the principals, for that matter--and the differences are remarkable. --Bill Holdship

"It a fine, FIIIIINE life" November 3, 2004 C. Crabtree (uk) 19 out of 23 found this review helpful
What a fantastic film with a brilliant soundtrack. I used to watch this when I was only 2 and 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 and dance type film, and 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 time in 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!!
Oliver CD July 6, 2009 Lisa Collins (Herts, UK) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This was perfect for my son to practise the songs from Oliver! I am of course sick of it, the performance is still to come!!!
Great songs, great singers, great value. August 16, 2008 redfibee 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this to take on holiday with us. We sang along to it for hours.
Musically superb. September 5, 2007 Steve (Huddersfield, U.K.) 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
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 and 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 balances in this, the film recording, but they don't detract from the pleasure) ; but for sheer joy and wonderful orchestral arrangements, you should snap this up.
Terrific.
Oliver Soundtrack February 10, 2009 Daniel P. O'Shea (Wales UK) This wonderful Oliver soundtrack can be played in the background when Sophia is doing something else.
Our Grand daughter, Sophia is learning to play the piano and playing the soundtrack is a wonderful tool to help her get the timing right.
With the Vocal Selections Music Book the Lyrics will soon be mastered.
I recommend buying all three products Oliver Vocal Selections, Oliver DVD film and the Oliver soundtrack, as they have helped her tremendously.
We never tire of hearing this wonderful music which is timeless and appeals to people of all ages.
