Buy this cd then go and see the show! From the opening bars you will be on the edge of your seat. In the beginning you will cry tears of laughter until slowly the story takes you down to a much darker place. The music is superb, the story grips you right to the end and Blood Brothers is, by miles, the best thing EVER to hit the West End.

Having been the owner of this particular version of the musical on cassette format for over 10 years now, I thought it was about time I acquired the CD version! This is by far the most moving, emotion provoking musical I have ever heard. Having also listened to another version with Petula Clark as Mrs J, I also think this particular cast are far and away the better performers. Somehow the songs sound more haunting, the accents more convincing and overall I personally felt it was a superior performance.
Buy it now! I promise that once you have listened to it, you will do so over and over again. I think I am now word perfect on most of the songs!

This recording is from 1988, and was the first one to record theatrical producer Bill Kenwright's production of Blood Brothers which has since conquered Broadway and many other cities around the world. Con O'Neill quite righly won an Olivier award for his extraordinary portrayal of Mickey which is captured here. Kiki Dee - whilst not quite having the passion of Barbara Dickson - is a formidable Mrs. Johnstone, and the late Robert Locke is by far my favourite Eddie. With the haunting voice of Warwick Evans a perfect narrator, this recording is the finest recording of this global production. If you want to hear just how powerful the show can be, it is no better personified than this CD. The first few bars of the overture will make the hairs on your neck stand up and a shiver run down your spine.
Blood Brothers is the finest British musical of the past 20 years, Willy Russell's greatest masterpiece and a show which sees the audience openly weeping night after night in the theatre.
They don't come better than this !!!
