Expected release date according to iTunes is Jan. 22nd...it's now available for pre-order
That's so odd, considering I received an email from Sh-K-Boom the other day that said the digital version was being released today.
It's just available for pre-order today. Not released.
Ohhh, i misremembered, you're correct. I feel like this recording has been delayed so many times.
Too many times. I'm in a love/hate relationship with Sh-K-Boom at the moment.
You can hear a sample clip of 'The Bells of Notre Dame' at the Amazon digital album page, and can seemingly buy that single track:

(Edit: Oops, I now realise the iTunes equivalent of this has already been mentioned above. Would anybody mind posting the direct iTunes link to this album BTW? It's not coming up for me for some reason.)

It sounds stunning. Definitely worth the very, very long wait.
I'm so thrilled we can get Bells of Notre Dame. Gosh, this music is everything!

Listening to this just makes me die more that this never made it to Broadway.
Side Note: What a generous track listing, they surprisingly went all out for this

They went so full-out they filled all but 20 seconds of available space on the CD... lol.

So upon pre ordering on itunes, will you be able to listen to the entire album digitally or just Bells of Notre Dame as of now?

Just the Bells of Notre Dame, not the whole album until it comes out in Jan. If only lol
Somewhat randomly, 'Top of the World' is now available alongside 'Bells...' to sample and buy on iTunes and Amazon.
What a great Christmas surprise! As expected, it sounds fantastic! Merry Christmas
It's not random. The press release stated that additional songs would become available. Three I believe.

Yup! They're pre releasing three more songs before the cd comes out! So since they released top of the world another two should come out before the 22nd.

Glad to see this is happening. I really enjoyed this musical a great deal when I saw it at La Jolla. It will be nice to have it forever preserved on a recording.
When I first saw the movie back in the 90s I couldn't help but envision it as a Broadway musical. The music was just so grand.
Seeing it at La Jolla it took on a different dimension than the grand scale, flashy musical I was expecting. But I liked it. It was quite moving in many ways and I actually liked the smaller scale approach it took. The first time I saw it I enjoyed it, but when I went back a couple of weeks later with a friend of mine from Disney who wanted to see it, it really came to appreciate its approach as well.
And the performances were outstanding.
Not everyone's cup of tea in the way it was presented, I know, but I'm glad I got to see it.
And to now have a recording of the show is great.
