Now Available – Jersey Boys: Music from the Motion Picture and Broadway Musical

Say, have you heard about this Jersey Boys movie?

Yeah, yeah, we know, there’s been just the teensiest bit of publicity about it, but we hope you’ll forgive us if we offer a little bit more today…and, uh, then some more next week, come to think of it. (Look, it’s kind of a big deal, y’know?) After next week, though, we’re pretty sure we’ll probably be done talking about it…at least ‘til it hits home video, anyway.

Today, though, we wanted to make sure that you were aware that the soundtrack to Jersey Boys is now available for your purchasing pleasure, and – better yet –it feature a mix of the music from Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons that’s featured in the film as well as performances from cast members John Lloyd Young, Erich Bergen, Michael Lomenda, Vincent Piazza, and Kyli Rae. And don’t give us that “but I just wanted the original versions” or “but I just wanted the cast’s versions,” because, what, like you don’t have the options to get those already? (The answer, of course, is “yes, you do.”) Besides, this way, you get a nice healthy blend of the two, which makes for a very nice sampler if you’re looking for a gateway drug into the group’s music, so you’re welcome.
