Posted by After several years of waiting, Mondo is finally releasing their brand new deluxe 3-LP vinyl release of the soundtrack to The Wizard of Oz. It looks as though it was definitely worth the wait! Here are more details from the Mondo site.
This new set is “Housed in a package designed and constructed by Alan Hynes, this pop-up, accordion style jacket creates a rainbow diorama of the titular Oz, complete with subtle easter eggs littered throughout.” It boasts 53 tracks that were newly remastered for vinyl. It should sound fantastic – Mondo always delivers the highest quality in all of their releases.
Get your copy as soon as they go on sale at noon (Central Time) on Wednesday, November 24, 2021. This special edition is limited to only 3,000 copies.

Looks beautiful, although it doesn’t hold any personal interest for me. Gorgeously designed, though.
I will definitely get this. I love most anything on “The Wizard of Oz” with Judy Garland especially when it is well done! The books through the years, the laser disc, dvd’s and vinyl etc are a beautiful reminder of a much loved film!!
