THE WIZARD OF OZ - 75TH ANNIVERSARY ANTHOLOGY

Celebrate the 75th anniversary of the iconic Wizard of Oz with this anthology CD featuring songs from the movie (and some dropped) performed "live" for a promotional radio broadcast by the stars such as Judy Garland, Bert Lahr, Ray Bolger, and also including recordings by composer Harold Arlen and popular performers of the day such as Glenn Miller and his orchestra.

Most of the tracks here are not from the movie sound track but recordings made to promote the movie such as "live" radio broadcasts. Included are four versions of the ever popular "Over the Rainbow" performed by Judy Garland - the movie version, a "live" version, a "pop" version and finally, one with the Tommy Dorsey orchestra recorded for radio broadcast to sell government war bonds. The big band orchestras are represented here by Glenn Miller, Vincent Lopez and Frankie Masters, each performing their "dance band" version of songs from the movie.

I've downloaded this anthology. Thank you very much for sharing!
I'm not sure if I can make a request, but one thing that would make my year complete is to get the complete OST in lossless format. Currently, I have it in 192 KBPS mp3 audio, and it's been my wish ever since the beginning of this year to get it in FLAC. Does anyone have a link? Many thanks! :)

Thanks a lot!

Thank you very much!
