No other movie musical captures the imagination of each successive generation of viewers quite like The Wizard of Oz; this Rhino edition of the film's soundtrack is a delight from start to finish, containing not only perennials like "Over the Rainbow," "Ding! Dong! The Witch Is Dead" and "If I Only Had a Brain," but also a series of outtakes from the original recording sessions. ~ Chuck Donkers
