Free Music Notes for Annie Get Your Gun: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Re-release of 1950 Film)
Free Music Review: A great buy!
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD is well worth the money. If you loved the movie and want to relive the thrill and energy of the production while driving or around the house - get this CD you won't be sorry. I want to point out that some other reviews said Betty Hutton was not as good as Judy Garland. Not true. Betty's ability to sing in the accent she spoke in brought the character and performace to life. Judy's great but not great at everything.Free Music Review: I love this CD
Hit: 5 Stars
I was a little nervous ordering this CD because I thought it would be poor quality based on the reviews. I was very pleasantly surprised and enjoy the music. The CD includes Both Betty Hutton and Judy Garland. ( I prefer Betty Hutton) and 2x Howard Keel. If you like the music from Annie get your gun, you will enjoy!Free Music Review: Great musical
Hit: 5 Stars
This was a great musical. And the CD is great because it has a lot of extras such as the versions done by Judy Garland who was replaced by Betty Hutton. So you get both versions of some of the songs. Also some tunes that were omitted from the original LP.Free Music Review: The two Annies
Hit: 5 Stars
I was very pleased with this CD because it not only had the original movie musical soundtrack, but also included the versoin with Judy Garland that was scrapped when she was replaced by Betty Hutton.Free Music Review: Classic Movie Musical Soundtrack, Sound May Disappoint

The long awaited soundtrack to ANNIE GET YOUR GUN has finally appeared on CD courtesy of Rhino/Turner Movie Music. This newly remastered release includes much more material than appeared on the old long out of print LP. The LP was limited to 8 selections while the new CD has 18 selections from the completed Betty Hutton version, as well as 13 selections from the aborted Judy Garland version. This is the first time the Garland recordings have appeared together in one collection. In keeping with Rhino's policy of using materials closest to the original music masters (a policy which I support), the sound quality is bound to disappoint some listeners. Indeed the ANNIE music masters have not survived the years in the best condition. Some selections are in newly remixed stereo; others are from acetate sources, and others lifted directly from the final mixed tracks. Surprisingly the Judy Garland recordings generally sound better than the Hutton recordings. All this leads to a variable listening experience that changes from selection to selection. However, this does not negate the importance of this release or Rhino's decision to finally make this material available. In my opinion, Rhino need not make any apology for their efforts in preparing this release. It is for this reason I recommend this CD to fans of this movie and musicals in general. Some of the various cast albums may represent ANNIE better than the film soundtrack as the movie dropped some songs and altered others to appease censors of the day, but the movie remains a great favorite of many. As is common with Rhino, the CD booklet is comprehensive with great photos and plenty of information. Lets hope Rhino/Turner can keep supplying us with more classic soundtrack releases.
