Be cautioned that this iteration of The Sound of Music does not include all of the material that has been issued on previous editions, although it of course has the soundtrack versions of the staples any consumer of any disc representation of the film would demand: "The Sound of Music," "My Favorite Things," "Do-Re-Mi," and "Climb Ev'ry Mountain." The extras, which is what most The Sound of Music devotees will zero in on, start with the film versions of "Edelweiss," "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" in its reprise form, and the orchestral piece "Laendler," none of which were included on the original soundtrack LP. That's a testament to the musical's enduring popularity, for sure, but also a testament to the entertainment industry's avarice in squeezing every last foot of mileage from this perennial screen favorite. By the time this 40th anniversary deluxe edition of The Sound of Music appeared in 2005, it had gotten to the point where the soundtrack was getting reissued every five years.
