I thought I would mix things up a little today in terms of “The Magic Show” soundtrack. Now many of us have heard, and probably own, the original show’s album. But, how many of you have heard the filmed version’s isolated score soundtrack by itself?
Well, if you’ve always wanted to hear that, then today is your lucky day indeed. It’s interesting to compare and contrast the two, and see the obvious differences in terms of cut songs and orchestration.
I’ve gone into the troubled history of the filmed show more than a few times. So, for now I’ll just let you plug in your headphones, and enjoy this rarity all to yourself.
