Lionel Bart's wonderful musical adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic was the first London stage musical to be transplanted to Broadway with the same kind of sensation it received in Britain-- something that is now common in these post-Cats/Les Miserables times. Although no one from this British cast ever became enormously famous (future Monkee Davy Jones was in the second Broadway cast)--and Sir Carol Reed's film version receives all the critical accolades--this remains the better recording, featuring all the songs cut from the film, while excluding the film's musical interludes that simply seem annoying without the visuals. Just compare Bruce Brochnik to the film's Mark Lester in the title role. Or Clive Revill to Ron Moody's Fagin. Or any of the principals, for that matter--and the differences are remarkable. --Bill HoldshipCustomer Reviews:

Oliver-The Broadway Cast.......2006-03-17
Unfortunately,(in my opinion) this energy doesn't translate suficiently to the recording and I agree - it's not particularly well sung. Again, from the perspective of a former child performer singing with other kids, it actually is possible for a group of children to sing together and make pleasant-sounding music. The adults in this "Oliver" aren't up to musical snuff either.
Although I haven't heard it, I'd be willing to take my chances on the original London version before settling for this one (which, by the way, was recorded in an LA studio before it even got to Broadway.)
spectacular Broadway album.......2006-02-15
As she had done to rapturous acclaim in London three years previously, Georgia Brown played the role of Nancy, and earned similar praise for her performance in New York. Her rich, velvet-tinged voice is especially haunting with the chill inducing ballad "As Long As He Needs Me". Composer Lionel Bart wrote "It's a Fine Life" especially for Brown after learning she had been cast in the role in the London production.
Ron Moody had also scored heavily in London with his tour-de-force turn as Fagin, but with producers fearing his portrayal `too ethnic', the role was taken by Clive Revill for the Broadway premiere. Revill had just come from his celebrated role in IRMA LA DOUCE, and his interpretation of Fagin is every bit as valid as Ron Moody's. Bruce Prochnik is a winsome and wistful Oliver, and Michael Goodman is a delight as the Artful Dodger. Wisely-retained from the original London company were a handful of the first-rate supporting players: Hope Jackman's shrill Mrs Corney; and the up-and-coming Barry Humphries as Mr Sowerberry (Humphries would later graduate to playing Fagin before his beloved alter-ego Dame Edna unleashed herself on the world). The promising young belter Alice Playten was smartly-showcased as Nancy's offsider Bet.
But, the sound mix on the Broadway album has always been rather flat and dull, despite being recorded in the stereo format of the day. Voices and orchestra have no vibrancy or depth, and this was due to the studio in which they recorded it, where the ceiling was very low and the sound did not have the necessary acoustic projection. Nevertheless, the recording has a charm and energy which overrides the technical shortcomings.
This new CD reissue from RCA offers some interesting bonus materials including musical director Don Pippin sharing his memories of the show; Barry Humphries performing "That's Your Funeral" (from the London cast album but left off the Broadway album); and a live recording of Patti LuPone singing "As Long As He Needs Me" (LuPone played Nancy in a short-lived Broadway revival in 1986).
Good value.

delightful studio "Oliver!".......2007-04-28
Alma Cogan, a famed British songstress, plays the role of Nancy; and the part fits her voice like a glove. Dynamic with "It's a Fine Life" and "I'd Do Anything", she also tugs at the heartstrings with a chill-inducing "As Long As He Needs Me". Ms Cogan could--and should--have been one of the leading singers on the world stage, had she not died of ovarian cancer at the age of 36.
Stanley Holloway, star of the Broadway, London and film incarnations of "My Fair Lady", plays the villainous rogue Fagin. He delivers a comic and sly performance with such numbers as "Be Back Soon", and "Reviewing the Situation".
Playing the title role, Denis Waterman sings a tender "Where is Love?". Tony Tanner ably-delivers as The Artful Dodger with a lusty "Consider Yourself". This recording also features the fondly-remembered character actress Violet Carson (who played Ena Sharples on long-running British soap "Coronation Street"), in the role of vile Widow Corney.
On the whole, this rendition of OLIVER! features enough top-drawer talents to help ensure it becomes an often-played title in your collection. Snap it up today!

A brand new never-heard-before Sandie heralding the 80s.......2005-07-14
"Reviewing The Situation" is experimental and eclectic in the range of material presented, from Lionel Bart to Rufus Thomas to Bob Dylan, Donovan and would you believe it, Led Zeppelin ? Sandie was obviously also partial to the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and the Bee Gees. Remember, by then she had already recorded "Satisfaction" and "Words" for her 1968 album "The Sandie Shaw Supplement".
The album opens with a feisty and energetic performance of "Reviewing The Situation" from the stage musical "Oliver" that suggests maybe Sandie had more range than she was generally given credit for. For at least three other numbers, notably Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay", Donovan's "Oh Gosh" and the Lovin' Spoonful's "Coconut Grove", she lays on her newly acquired light and breathy voice that somehow works and lends a certain poignance and charm to the songs, as does the Bee Gees' "Sun In My Eyes" which displays that attractive low part in her vocal range I love. The Latin-styled "Mama Roux" is an odd thing, not bad but a curiosity, while her slyly soulful and jazzy version of Rufus Thomas' "Walking The Dog" takes time to grow on you.
Good as these performances are, there is little that prepares us for the two songs that elevate "Reviewing The Situation" above the bravely experimental. "Love Me Do" is simply wonderful, a delicious slice of pop that's just right for Sandie. There's clearly more to what suits her than just Chris Andrews songs. Listen to that lilt in her voice at the end of each note. Simply gorgeous. But try suggesting Sandie doing a Led Zeppelin cover in 1969 and you'd be laughed out of court. Outrageous ? Well, that's what she did and the result is stunning. "Your Time Is Gonna Come" is the album's opus on which Sandie puts out an incredibly felt performance. But while she managed to skillfully transcend the heaviness of Led Zeppelin, she was clearly out of her depth on the Stones' "Sympathy For The Devil". Her voice is often reduced to a screech or a yelp on this one misstep in the project.
This EMI reissue comes with two bonus tracks recorded around the time of the original album. "Frank Mills", a song from the musical "Hair" is a lightweight but pleasant number with lyrics that's typical of the late 60s hippy era. "Junk", sung acapella, closes the set on a "lavatorial" note. Listen to it and you'll see what I mean.
"Reviewing The Situation" is the best of Sandie's 60s original albums. It's amazing it ever got made. A must-buy for fans and a revelation for those who think Sandie is all about 60s bubblegum pop
