Of the promised soundtrack releases from Rhino, Singin' in the Rain is among the most anticipated. Fortunately for the discerning soundtrack collector, it's well worth the wait -- fans of musicals in general should not miss this one. Producers Marilee Bradford and Bradley Flanagan have included all the musical material from the film, it seems, added several outtakes (such as the unused version of "You Are My Lucky Star") and topped that off with supplemental material that includes an alternate version of the main title (in instrumental form; the vocal angles were lost). A number of the tracks are newly mixed to stereo from the original studio angles. A beautiful remastering job and copious liner notes (including an article from writers Betty Comden and Adolph Green) complete the package. ~ Steven McDonald
