Mickey & Judy

Mickey & Judy

(Original Motion Picture Soundtracks)

4CD Set: Rhino R2 71921 (1995)

I'm just wild about this wonderful collection of the soundtracks (with outtakes and extended versions) to all of Mickey and Judy's "backyard musicals"! I don't know where or when you'll ever find anything better! It's an excellent production with a great 58-page booklet by John Fricke (nobody does it better). Roll out the barrel and strike up the band - who could ask for anything more? [JJ]
