Super Deluxe Edition boasts 40 previously-unreleased tracks!

Includes 11 tracks of never-before-heard alternate takes from the 1965 blockbuster movie!

Winner of five Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Scoring of Music

Craft Recordings and Rodgers & Hammerstein are thrilled to present a new Super Deluxe Edition of the beloved 1965 movie blockbuster The Sound of Music. Set for release December 1, 2023 (on 4-CD/1-Blu-ray Audio) this definitive collection brings together every musical element from the film for the very first time!

Taking fans behind the scenes, the newly mixed and remastered collection offers the complete film score, plus previously unreleased instrumentals, alternate takes, demos and much more, including rare vocal recordings from the cast.

The Sound of Music soundtrack spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart in 1965 and was a near-constant presence in the top 10 from the spring of 1965 through the spring of 1967. It spent a staggering 109 weeks in the Top 10 — the most of any soundtrack in the chart's history. In 2015, Billboard ranked The Sound of Music as the most successful soundtrack of all time on the chart.

The Blu-ray audio disc from the Super Deluxe Edition contains the film's full score in hi-resolution audio, as well as a new Dolby Atmos mix of the original 16-track soundtrack released in 1965.

The box set features new liner notes written by film historian and preservationist Mike Matessino, who remixed and remastered the album from the original multi-track tapes. Craft Recordings will also release a three LP vinyl collection containing 46 tracks.

"It's been wonderful to collaborate across all of Concord's divisions to help bring this historic and culturally significant reissue to light," says Sig Sigworth, president, Craft Recordings and chief catalog officer, Concord, in a statement. "This deluxe edition has been years in the making, with Craft Recordings working in concert with Concord Publishing and Concord Theatricals (home of The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization). We're delighted that The Sound of Music fans around the world, old and new, will be able to enjoy the iconic soundtrack in a brand new listening experience, more than a half century after its original release."

Imogen Lloyd Webber, SVP at Concord Theatricals on behalf of The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization adds: "This reissue of The Sound of Music, lovingly-and painstakingly-curated by the team at Craft with collaboration from so many at Concord, alongside Mike Matessino, is a landmark moment in the history of the title. It is a truly fitting tribute to the last of the Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals and one we hope fans across the world will treasure for years to come."
