Product Description

Amazon.com
At the height of Beatlemania, the Disney folks were teaching kids how to really swing with this soundtrack to their adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book. Of course, it's Phil Harris (the voice of everyone's favorite hipster bear Baloo) who steals the show with the original slacker anthem, "The Bare Necessities," but his scat match with an inspired Louis Prima on "I Wan'na Be Like You (The Monkey Song)" is also not to be missed. Songwriters Richard and Robert Sherman--who clearly enjoyed playing the irony card on songs like "Trust in Me (The Python's Song)" and "That's What Friends Are For" (The Vulture Song)"--offer entertaining reminiscences about the project in a 12-minute bonus track. George Bruns's wonderful underscore, a couple early song demos, and two post-soundtrack Baloo numbers round out a collection that suggests, in the most charming way imaginable, that it really is a jungle out there. --Bill Forman

Review of The Jungle Book May 2, 2008
It was a great recording. Very original....had that old time feel to it. Although the sound was not the quality of current day recording...it was really great!
 Not like the original vinyl recording February 8, 2008

I was disappointed with this CD. I purchased it because the vinyl edition that I had as a child was so good, I just had to have it on CD. But unfortunately, this recording contains NONE (or almost none) of the original dialog to support the telling of the story or even to help the songs keep their meaning. If you are looking for that, I'd suggest you just purchase the DVD instead. The music is still good...Louis Prima and Sterling Holloway (who also does the voice for Winnie the Pooh) are terrific. And Phil Harris IS Baloo the Bear. Too bad this recording doesn't capture their complete performances.
Classic Songs, but would have preferred more editting December 1, 2007

I love the songs of The Jungle Book, and so do my preschool-aged children. These songs are exactly the same songs from the movie, with the same performers, and the lyrics are included inside the CD. A few other songs are thrown in (not nearly as memorable), and a highly entertaining interview of the creators of the music is also interviewed. The one downside to this CD is that some of the songs on the CD start with a lengthy musical introduction -- ranging from 25 seconds to over 1.5 minutes. Sometimes the intros are musically related to the songs/lyrics that follow, and sometimes they are not. It would have been nice if the 'muzak' portions had either been cut, or at least given their own 'number' on the CD, so it would have been easier to skip over them as I drive in my car. Otherwise, I love it. We listen to this CD almost every day.
It's really HALF the soundtrack.... October 2, 2007

Yeah its great that you hear the songs from the movie. HOWEVER, its a regurgitation of the past CDs that were put out that left so much of the dialouge (FROM THE MOVIE) out. These classic songs now have these HUGE instrumental breaks that takes most of the punch out of them. And this dialouge was FROM THE MOVIE, not from the storybook vinyl album that we had as kids. Some of these songs don't even make sense without that dialouge, and definitely weakens this CD as a whole. The Louie Prima classic is KILLED by this, and so is the "Bare Necessities". SUCH a disappointment. It's like the people who put this together 15 or so years ago (this version is the same as the ones from like 1990 or so) didn't even listen to it before they put it out. Or just didn't care...
