"This is the "Holy Grail" of MGM soundracks for lovers of MGM musicals. Expanded with cut numbers and alternate tracks, this 2 CD set covers most of Gerwhwin's great music. "Concerto In F" with Oscar Levant at the piano is in stereo as is several other tracks and has never sounded better. A pure joy to listen to and a must for all Gershwin and/or MGM musical fans!"

Ga Ga for Gershwin

"Nearly every popular Gershwin tune is represented here, either as an instrumental, a vocal, or a production number. I am not a big fan of the film, but the soundtrack is fabulous. There are some stereo tracks here, too. Yet another triumph in the Turner/Rhino soundtrack collection of MGM films.As a sidenote I would like to thank Rhino for their extremely co-operative staff. When I bought this CD I opened up the very extensive booklet and was disappointed to find that due to an error on the assembly line I had received an insert that had some pages repeated and others deleted. I contacted Rhino and they sent me a new booklet which arrived within a week! That's what I call excellent customer service. The really neat thing is the fact that I have both booklets. The flubbed copy is sort of a collector's item to me."

"In my opinion, 's wonderful! This is the original 1950-51 recording with great pictures and information. This CD includes all the music from the movie, as well as many outtakes and variations. If you liked the movie (and even if you didn't), you'll love this!"
