"With the release of the 40th Anniversary two-disc edition of Mary Poppins onto DVD(see my review)there is nothing that could compliment it better than this two disc special edition of the Mary Poppins soundtrack onto CD.

This soundtrack now mirrors the movie as no other release before has done.The music now plays and appears in the order that it does in the movie.Also new background and bridging music has been added to either expand existing cuts or released on its' own.It is an absolute joy to hear and is the closest thing to actually watching the movie itself.

And if this newly remastered soundtrack wasn't enough Disney has added a bonus disc.The first cut consists of approximately 41 minutes of the original six hour meeting of the author of the Mary Poppins books,Mrs. P. Travers, going through a rough version of the story with Disney staff.

The second is a 17 minute interview with the two main stars Dick Van Dyke and Julie Andrews,the Sherman brothers(responsible for most of the music) and the musical director Irwin Kostal.

The third and last track is the Sherman brothers reminiscing for about 16 minutes on their work on the picture.

Like the DVD extras these CD extras are very revealing,educational and generally enhance ones' viewing of and experience with the movie.

There is only one Mary Poppins soundtrack you MUST own and it is THIS one.Get yours."

Mary is 'Top of the Pops'

"My whole family loves this cd. In fact, we recently took a road trip and took it along and my 4 year-old daughter loves to sing to just about every song. She also likes to hear some songs more than once. The soundtrack cd can be listened to all the way through. One of the all time great albums. The second cd is great for people who like to have some behind the scenes. This cd is an A+ for my daughters aged 4 and 1."

What a Jolly Holiday!

"Mary Poppins: 2 Disc CD Soundtrack is very Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Since getting it in the mail today I have been listening to it any spare second I find. You are never to old to listen to this wonderfully done music. It is a Broadway style musical movie with wonderful singers Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke. The extra music that was not included in previous released CDs make this a must! I know I will enjoy this CD for years to come and recommand it strongly for anyone else who enjoys Mary Poppins, Disney, or Broadway style music."
