Seriously, Leslie Bricusse has writen some of the most timeless songs for this soundtrack, and for the first time John Williams' music for the movie itself is also included. Listening to these CDs, you hear the beginnings of his later, better known scores.
Sentimental? Yes, but in the best way. Uplifting? Absolutely. I've been searching for a CD of this movie for years, and now to have the bounty of 3 CDs - the first being the actual film score (including the underscore, instrumental music used in specific scenes that has not been available before but is gorgeous), the second being mainly alternate versions of the music used in the movie, along with interview segments with the principal cast members, and the final CD containing the original tracks from the original sound track album along with more interviews and more alternate takes.
In addition, there is a 48 page booklet detailing each CD and track, as well as the history of the movie - and I had never known that originally Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews were to be the principals, with Andre Previn doing the score! Fascinating info - very enjoyable.
I've tried to purchase this set from local booksellers who tell me that this was a limited edition and is now out of print again. Wherever you find it, buy it. I cannot imagine anyone regretting it.

Possibly the best kept secret of the theatrical year is the release of this amazing 3CD set. Totally amazing, especially for those who have been hungering for years for a proper CD of this glorious music from this under rated screen classic . No one could have done a better job of putting all this music together complete with a booklet that sets everything out perfectly with some of the best color shots I have ever seen from this film. Now PLEASE can the people who made this CD firstly try and get it a wider distribution ,with Amazon only listing one available, it looks like case of grab it quickly or it will be gone forever, and PLEASE can some one now take this same care to put a DVD of this movie out complete with all this missing footage, mostly never seen that is aluded to on this disc.,.....Wonderful, joyous, grab it quickly.Free Music Review: A warning to Mr. Furman and others

Don't want to spend $35--then give up your dream of owning a copy of the music right now. The music rights are all tied up. This 3 cd set is it and with a very small production run it won't be around for long. If you want the music to the movie then buy the CD set NOW (no I'm not a seller/producer of the product). Those who 'wait' for a better deal will never see that deal and will never have the CD. If you think $35 is high- just wait for the production run (3000 sets I belieive) to sell out then watch the price climb into the hundreds of $ on eBay.
Oh, I own 2 sets-one opened for playing and one still sealed for the future as a back up....but hey once the run is sold out I'd be willing to part with my second set for say $500--don't complain about $35- be grateful you can buy it at that price.

This is a fantastic package! The contents are listed above, so no need to repeat them. But an obvious labor of love from all concerned, right down to the 48-page booklet, which is a complete chronicle of the production, with a riot of photographs. For newcomers, one can play disc one ("Full Score Reconstruction") and follow the plot with the guide. Naturally, the original MGM soundtrack album is included as well. "Tomorrow With Me", the Petula Clark outake, is worth the price of the package on its own-the song was pulled just before filming to be replaced by "You And I". Essential. But they are only producing 3,000 of these, so don't wait!Free Music Review: At long last! Goodbye Mr Chips (1969) in a definitive digital edition!

I fell in love with this score the moment I listened to the M-G-M recording back in 1969 (I was 19 years old at the time). Over the decades I prayed for a CD remastering. Well it's here! Read the other reviews. They say it all. I've listened to this new verson through my iPod a good 25 times already. It still gives me goose bumps every time I play it.
But I do not believe this is a limited edition. Nothing on the release says so, nor on Film Score Monthly's website. [...]
