No official confirmation has been released yet but I've been told the soundtrack will be released in the US on Tuesday July 8, 2008 (Monday July 7, 2008 in the UK).

There will be 2 single-disc versions: one with just the main songs and another one (Special Edition) which will include ALL the music, including the end credits medley as well as the instrumentals of several cut songs; though some songs were cut, their instrumental versions play as underscore in the scenes the sung versions occurred on stage.

As is always the case -- expect the tracks to start leaking online sometime in mid/late June 2008.

You'll hear about the leaked tracks on this board whenever that happens.

I'm looking forward to this one. I can't stand the computerized garbage that is the London version.

I've been eagerly awaiting this movie. Hope this is as good as the latest musical movies that came out not counting Sweeney Todd was godawful.

They usually release soundtracks about a week before the movie itself opens.

As I mentioned before, the soundtrack's release date is Tuesday July 8, 2008.

Amazon.com already has it for pre-order (nope -- no cover artwork is out yet): http://www.amazon.com/Mamma-Mia-Original-Soundtrack/dp/B0019FOC5E/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1212006388&sr=1-3

As usual, I'll have the internal debate of whether to listen to the soundtrack or not before watching the film...ugh.
Does anyone know if the second verse in the title song will be the same as the one from the cast recording or if the original lyrics to the ABBA song were restored? I haven't seen the show and I always wondered why they had to adjust the lyrics.

WWWWWOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

I think they wanted to integrate the story into the lyrics cause it would be to broad. Like in Under Attack in the show the verse is "Under Attack, I'm taking cover, thier on my track, Three Dads, one lover"

THE actual ABBA Lyrics was

"Under attack, Im taking cover
He saw my track, my chasing lover"

i guess i don't precisely know...

Amazon has it for $9.99. That's a great price.

I wonder when the special edition cd will be released?

No Special Edition version of the soundtrack has been announced.

A London based website had one listed along with the single-disc version, but has since been removed/deleted.

Many expect a Special Edition of the film soundtrack to materialize to coincide with the release of the DVD of the film, just like HAIRSPRAY did.
