Beware; Excerpts.......2006-12-05

I bought this thinking it was the entire show. It's missing some of my favorite songs, such as "Rainbow Tour." Elaine Paige is great, but I don't care much for David Essex as Che.

THE HIGHLIGHTS DISC OF THE ORIGINAL LONDON PRODUCTION.......2005-09-17

Over the years Andrew Lloyd Webber has made many musicals, some more successful and appealing to the public than the others. Most people will, however, agree that "Evita" remains one of his most satisfying works to this date. Numerous reasons confirm this statement. Just like in its predecessor "Jesus Christ Superstar", "Evita" is almost entirely sung-through; the lyrics are witty and appropriate; the subject matter is again a personality larger-than-life who rises from obscurity and dies at the peak of its fame, thus becoming a legend; the score is captivating and appealing to the listener, at home or in the theatre.

Following the suit of the Superstar, ALW and Tim Rice first published Evita as an album, which appeared in 1976. It was an instant success and soon afterwards the preparations began to put it on the stage. The veteran of the musical theatre direction, Hal Prince, accepted the offer to adapt the original album and Elaine Paige, then an unknown actress and musical theatre performer was cast in the role of Evita. The show premiered in London in 1978, winning acclaiming reviews and numerous awards. And yet, since the concept album was selling so well, the authors felt it unnecessary to release another full version of Evita, with the London cast. That is why we only have this highlights 53-minute recording of the original London production. The story of Evita is widely known, but for those who are new to this let's repeat the essentials: We follow the life story of Eva Duarte Peron, wife of post-World war two president of Argentina, Juan Peron. However, the musical is very loosely based on the actual life of the real Evita. The story follows Evita from the day of her death in July 1952, and then we have flashbacks until that moment, covering her coming to Buenos Aires, alleged love affairs, meeting Peron, being the first lady and dying of cancer at 33.

Being the first theatre version of the somewhat revised concept album material, this disc is not the best recording available. There are several drawbacks. First, it lacks a great part of the show, since all we have here are snippets, i.e., the main musical numbers, meaning it is a bit difficult to follow the story if you are a first-time listener, even though the booklet provides a basic story outline. One of the other obvious weaknesses is the minimalist orchestrations used on this recording. After the lush and epic sound of the concept album featuring the London philharmonics and a rock band, here we have the usual pit orchestra, consisting of only the basic instruments. Thus the beauty of the score remains somewhat lost and is only traceable in hints. The authors seem to be aware of it, since for the upcoming Broadway recording of the show, the orchestrations were improved and sounded clearer.

In addition, the cast performance here is also mixed. Although the role of Eva Peron raised Elaine Paige to stardom, I find her performance not the best, simply because her voice sounds too young. With time her vocal abilities matured, but here she just doesn't reach a much needed uncompromising determination of the character, the way Patti LuPone did on Broadway or Julie Covington on the original album. That is not to say that Elaine performance here is altogether bad, but it could have been much better. David Essex, on the other hand, is a very good Che. He has the strong vocal power Colm Wilkonson and Antonio Banderas both demonstrated in their interpretation, which leaves one wondering why was Mandy Patinkin cast in the role when the show was transferred to Broadway, since he had a very light and unpleasant voice. Joss Ackland, an esteemed British actor is a well chosen Peron, with a suitable dark note in his performance.

The CD comes with a couple of the production photos, but no lyrics are included.

For those of you who are getting acquainted with the story of Eva Peron for the first time I must point out: Bear in mind that this musical is only loosely based on the life of the real Evita. As much as Tim Rice's lyrics are craftily made, they lack a lot of historical accuracy. As a historian I became very interested in Eva Peron's life story so I did some research after seeing the movie. It turned out that the authors based their entire work on a single book called EVITA: THE WOMAN WITH A WHIP by Mary Main. It was based on rumors, lies and myths, written with the single purpose of slandering Eva Peron as much as possible. It contains no footnotes and no bibliography. The authors used it mainly because it was one of the few books available on the subject in the English language during the 70-is. So one should be very careful in making any conclusions based on the musical or the movie alone.

So this disk is more of a welcomed addition for the collectors of the Evita cast recordings, rather than a first-choice album for the new listeners. The latter should get one of the three available 2-CD albums: the 1976 concept recording with Julie Covington, the 1979 Broadway cast with the best Evita of them all, the Tony-winning Patti LuPone, or the very good 1996 movie soundtrack with Madonna in the lead. They all have the complete score and are much more satisfying than this highlights album.

Not the Original Broadway Cast, but not bad.......2005-08-17

This soundtrack does not, in my opinion, rate as high as the Original Broadway Cast album with Mandy Patinkin and Patti Lupone, but it is not too bad. It is incomplete, which was a disappointment. Elaine Page doesn't hold a candle to Patti Lupone as Evita, and the Che leaves much to be desired. The highlight of this album is "Another Suitcase in Another Hall" which is simply superb. It was worth buying the cd just for that song. Some of the lyrics are different, which was interesting to hear, because they changed them around a bit when Evita was brought to the US. If you are an Evita lover I would suggest this album, but if you are just being introduced to Evita I would suggest going with the Patti Lupone and Mandy Patinkin cd.

Misleading CD cover.......2005-05-07

I wanted the complete Evita soundtrack, and this rendition was terribly disappointing. The cd ends abruptly mid story. Voices are spectacular of course, but the cover suggests this is the original London peformance and a buyer, like me, expects the entire musical score. I wouldn't buy this again.

MISSING SO MANY GOOD SONGS.......2004-07-11

THANK GOODNESS FOR THE BROADWAY PRODUCTION OF EVITA! THIS MUSCIAL IS VERY GOOD, YET IT HAS SOME WEAK SPOTS, BUT THAT DOSN'T MEAN LONDON SHOULD TAKE THEM OUT IN THE FIRST STAGE PRODUCTION OF EVITA. THERE ARE A LOT OF MISTAKES AND THINGS THEY SHOULD OF ADDED. HERE'S A LIST.

*THEY SHOULD OF ADDED 'RAINBOR TOUR' I LOVE THAT SONG
*BUENOS AIRES SHOULD OF BEEN LONGER
*A NEW ARGETINA SHOULD OF BEEN LONGER
*THEY SHOULD OF ADDED 'DICE ARE ROLLING" ANYTHING THAT HAS THE 'A NEW ARGETINA' MUSIC I JUST LOVE.
*THE COVER LOOKS TOO OLD. IF THEY WERE GONNA PUT IT ON A CD, THEY SHOULD OF MADE A NEW LOOK OR COVER.
*IT SHOULD OF HAD 23 SONGS INSTEAD OF 15

Tracks:

Autonomy
C'ait pour la Passion
End of a Hollywood Bedtime Story
Who Are You, Defenders of the Universe?
22: The Death of All the Romance
Warm and Sunny Days
Lost in the Plot
Pinned Together, Falling Apart

Customer Reviews:

Overpriced and poor live recording.......2006-05-28

If you REALLy want to get a few of the songs on this album, download them from iTunes, where you can get the partial album for a fraction of what it costs here. However, I found the live recording to not really help the band much. Having loved their "No Cities Left" album, I found myself wondering what ever happened to them in here.

I don't know if they are just not a good live band (I have my doubts having seen an incredible video of them performing in Amsterdam in 2005), but the recording on this album is simply too poor by any standards, and most definitely not worth the price charged for the new album.

Quite good actually.......2005-05-23

I bought this one in Montreal at the HMV. This is a quite good live recording in my opinion. The songs are well-delivered and original.

Customer Reviews:

A Natural Disaster.......2006-10-26

I remember one time this song (featuring Joe) was being played on the radio and after the song was over the DJ said, "Now that's what I call a natural disaster!" Then he chuckled and said, "I was just playing! It's a good song!" That DJ knows darn well he wasn't playing because I and other people even thought this song was a "natural disaster". Mariah was just better off doing a remake of "Make it Last Forever." Skip this at all cost. . . Oops! I just realized everyone has forgotten all about this song already. Never mind!

Incomplete.......2005-09-20

I like this song and the video, but honestly I think this CD-Single is totally incomplete. It has just three versions and as a bonus the song "Babydoll" I consider this song boring and blubblegummy. Tracklisting:
THANK GOD I FOUND YOU Make It Last Remix Edit
THANK GOD I FOUND YOU Make It Last Remix W/O Rap
THANK GOD I FOUND YOU Album Version
BABYDOLL Album Version
The first 2 songs are edited versions from the original remix, featured at another CD-Singles and at her remix album.
Track 3 is the original version featured at "Rainbow" This is the best version
Track 4 I don't like this song.

really good re-mix.......2003-10-06

the orginal version is soft&Mushy but the re-mix is tight.Nas&Joe bring it on the Re-Mix along with Mariah knocking it out.Mariah is a really Good Re-Mix artist&I can't wait to get Her Re-Mix Album coming.Her voice sounds really tight here.a cool use of Keith Sweat's "Make it last".

An Incredible Remix!!!.......2003-05-13

I have loved Keith Sweat's "Make it Last Forever" for years now, so when I discovered that Mariah Carey had done a remix version of "Thank God I Found You" with "Make it Last Forever," I was very excited! I'm not the biggest fan of the original version of "Thank God I Found You," so I must say that the remixed version is very refreshing and just all-round good. Joe and Nas did excellent jobs on the song. It's just cool to see how Mariah could take one song and totally change it around and make it something not only new, but much better than the original! I would highly suggest this CD to anyone who wants to hear an incredible song!

Banging Cd!!!.......2001-04-03

I love "Thank God I Found You". Because it is such a great song that we can sit back and thank god for senting someone to brighten our day when we needed cheering. I would like to thank Mariah for song. Because sometimes we can forget that we have people in our lives that really care about us. I think Mariah was trying to do for all that special people in her life that made her feel happy when she was down. I think that by her writing this she share this feeling of thanking her family and friends for making her feel better. I think that this message in this song should be pass on. Not to mention the Joe and Nas remix is off the hook.

Was this a time to say thats it?.......2003-04-19

Having been a DD fan for as long as was/is possible I have found myself the basis of many jokes and have allways defend the group with the defense that they had produced many albums many singles and all sucessful and original. there are many fine tracks on this album but it is not DD material. This was the begining of the end for me.However I will still remain a fan present and any future.

No, thank Duran Duran.......2002-04-06

I would just like to write a rebuttal to the previous review. I would just like to say that, like the previous writer, I am a huge Duran Duran fan, and this only strengthened my convictions about this cover album. Thank You happens to be one of my favorite cds. I've actually come to like the Duran Duran verions of all of these songs better than the originals.

Thanks but NO Thanks to Thank You.......1999-06-10

I am a longtime DD fan and own everything they done, plus Arcadia and Powerstation albums. I really do love DD, but Thank You has about 2 songs that are any good. Unless you have to own everything DD has done, then save your money. If you want a good laugh just listen to DD do 911 is a Joke. I almost thought this was joke album, kind of like William Shatner Albums.

Whoo. Yall almost didnt have this. Number 70! I believe this is the correct one so i will continue on. This remix of Thank God I Found You feat. Joe and Nas is extremely rare! They played the video for this song on TV about twice. But people overlooked it which is really baffling. This osng is great to me. Mariah Carey has ease switching between pitches and Joe adds his crooning. Nas sound like old Nas on this one. Delivering a superior verse. Babydoll and the version without Nas is also included as well as the regular version with Joe and 98 degrees. Overall a nice addition to have in ya collection.

really amazing remixes!.......2000-10-19

So beautiful remixes going to haunt your ear. I think you guys already heard this song before. It's really mellow, sweet song ever I heard. Anyway you're not going to regret. And I think it's good buy. It's imported item.. you know. Mariah fans should buy this single. really great.

Thank You For Loving Me.......2001-02-17

My son sent me this recording online for my birthday to tell me that as a poor college student, all he could afford to give me were these 5 words that night; and it brought tears to my eyes to think that my son thought that much of his Mom. He said, "It gets the thought across to a Mom from her son." That's why I like the words and music so much. I listen to it every night before going to bed. Bought the CD to play in the car.
