Summary: Brillant Memories of Blood Brothers
Comment: Close your eyes and play this CD and you are back in the theatre listening to this wonderful musical. Hours later you still have the music and the words buzzing around your head as it is so memorable. Stephanie Lawerence is very good playing Mrs Johnstone, and was an exceptional singer but the Liverpool accent was perhaps best produced by Linda Nolan although she did not have the quality of Stephanie's voice. I have see the musical four times with the same Narrator,and he is is superior to Warwick Evans. Also, Eddie is today played with gusto and at all four performances he has been fantastic and what an accent. At all performances the audience has given a standing ovation to the musical and its cast. The CD relates the story with its wonderful music and words exceptionally well, backed up with the important sections from the Narrator. Buy this CD and relive the magic of Blood Brothers.

Summary: THE BEST
Comment: THIS IS A TERRIFIC REMINDER OF WHAT A TREMENDOUS STAGE PERFORMER STEPHANIE LAWRENCE WAS. SHE HAS FEW RIVALS FOR THE ROLE OF MRS JOHNSTONE, MANY HAVE PLAYED IT SUCCESSFULLY BUT THE DESPERATION OF HER PLIGHT AT THE END OF THE SHOW HAS NEVER BEEN MATCHED. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT CAST RECORDING ALL ROUND AND DEFINITELY THE ONE TO BUY FOR AN AUTHENTIC REPRESENTATION OF ONE OF THE FINEST BRITISH MUSICALS EVER WRITTEN.
BUY IT!!

Summary: Disappointing Sound Quality
Comment: I strongly urge anyone who hasn't seen or heard Blood brothers to do so; even if you don't usually like musicals you can't fail to be entertained and moved by this one. It has to be one of the best. A great story, well observed, fabulous songs, good character development and a really moving experience. Although this was a great production and cast, unfortunately I found the sound quality really let the recording down. It is echoey and hollow as if it had been recorded in a bathroom and 'Tell me it's not true' the most moving song lacks the roundness and big build up of the original soundtrack. Stick to the original recording.

Summary: Still beautiful today
Comment: Blood Brothers was one of the first musicals I saw many years ago now and I did have a cassette of the soundtrack which during many house moves has gotten lost. I downloaded this version of the soundtrack from itunes recently and have fallen in love with it all over again - the music moves from gritty to humorous to moving and never fails to help relive the joy of this wonderful show.
I used to own the Barbara Dickson version of this soundtrack but prefer this version with Stephanie Lawrence she sings so beautifully - an absolute must for musical fans.
