- Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2008I ordered this CD, the 30th Anniversary DVD, the original Broadway soundtrack along with the MGM DVD (reviewed) and Tin Man DVD earlier this year.
This CD pack of course has the songs from the movie, only here some of them have a bit more time and more space to play out, most notably the Overture pt 1. It also has another song not in the movie, and a few little changes:
Instead of the music where Dorothy and Toto (who didn't accompany Dorothy to Oz in the Original Broadway!) are whisked away by the tornado with the dramatic exciting tune - we instead get "Glinda's Theme", which is good but also a let down as I like that scoring of the blizzard. Michael Jackson as the Scarecrow sings "You Can't Win" (* originally writtne for Evillene on Broaway, but put here instead*) rather than "I Was Born on the Day Before Yesterday", and Nipsey Russell sings both of Tin Man's songs together: "What Would I Do If I Could Feel?" and "Slide Some Oil to Me" - the last one having more space to breathe and finish before the reprise of 'Ease on Down the Road'. Ted Ross and Mabel King once again are Lion and WWW Evillene, only here they add more energy and volume to their performance than they did back in 1975. Glinda's theme also appears on disk 2 in the appropriate place "the Good Witch Glinda" between tracks "Believe in Yourself" by Dorothy/Diana and Glinda/Lena Horne herself.
As always, "Ease on down the Road" is FANTASTIC, FUN, and a FAVOURITE to listen to! And so is "A Brand New Day/Everybody Rejoice"! Unlike the Original Broadway soundtrack, 'Ease on down the Road' is repeated on the disk after each new friend is made and joins in singing on the journey down the Yellow Brick Road (the first few minutes pre-new friends is in the end credits, so both that and the actual song are combined here).
Some/Most songs actually include dialogue from the movie, most especially being "So You Wanted To Meet the Wizard" - since this song was only mentioned but never fully (or actually) performed in film, instead we hear the friends meeting the Wiz and then his humbug discovery in the one track.
Disk 1 goes for 40 minutes (ending with "Poppy Girls"), and Disk 2 goes for 39 minutes (starting from "Be A Lion" and ending with "Home"). Both disks are on either side of a double-sided plastic-clear insert.
Disk 2's main attraction, the unheard "Is This What Feeling Gets? (Dorothy's theme)" is a wonderful listen. It opens with music that is in the final film (the Emerald City Motel scene) only here Diana Ross sings her theme song, which sounds much nicer then her New York "Can I Go On Not Knowing?" The main reason I got this CD was because of this new song not in the film, and I'm glad I included it in my order.
The soundtrack booklet has more pages than the 1975 version, and here we get photos of the characters and moments, Sidney Lumet's introduction on the movie, photos behind-the-scenes, Quincy Jones on the soundtrack, a listing of the songs and their words (with a starry background, just like the CDs themselves), how 6 of the actors felt making the movie, credits, Bruce Sweden commentating on recording, musician crew roles, and a listing of the songs on which CD.
For a often-said bad movie, it has a great soundtrack, especially with one song never heard before. Listening to "Is this What Feeling Gets?" and a very pictorial well-made soundtrack booklet is definitely worth having this CD.
Happy Anniversary "Wiz"!!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2024If you loved the music from The Wiz, this soundtrack is worth every penny!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2018The music to this soundtrack really has soul to this album especially that one song known as Mean ole Lion sang by the late actor Ted Ross which is one of my favorite songs because it talks about my zodiac sign Leo,then there's Diana Ross & Ted Ross singing the song title Be a lion, also there's Diana Ross singing the song title Brand new day, and then there's the late Lena Horne singing the song title Believe in yourself. Other than that the music on this soundtrack sounds so very soulful.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2021I haven’t played it on my record player yet, but the presentation was amazing! It came with basically its original packaging. It had a booklet inside with information about the movie (cast, photos, musicians, singers in the choir, etc.), and a poster! Best vinyl I’ve bought to date! Thank you!!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2024This is the 3rd cd I bought of the Wiz. This completes my collection.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2013If you're never seen The Wiz, you have missed one of the highlights of the 70s. The soundtrack is lively, the acting is good enough (Diana going home and Lena Horn are the only overly dramatic parts) and the storyline is similar to the original but unique at the same time.
One of the cool things is to see the real Michael Jackson before all of the major changes he went through later in life. Another part I like better than the original is how they show the frivolity of the Wiz. He directs his subjects to change at the drop of a hat while he sits stagnate behind the mask.
Overall, well worth adding to anyone's collection.
