A great video from Mark: Fun with The Wizard of Oz alternate takes

- From Mark: Here are some alternate audio tracks synched up with the film, as well as deleted scenes with stills inserted.
Apparently, the live on-set recording of the "Over The Rainbow" reprise was done under the first director, Richard Thorpe (with Judy wearing a blonde wig, etc.). Victor Fleming later reshot the song, but that recording has been lost along with the footage. So this may be as close as we'll ever get to seeing how it would have fit into the film.
Just for fun, I've snyched the released film to Ray Bolger's original version of "If I Only Had A Brain" and done the same for Buddy Ebsen's prerecording of "If I Only Had A Heart."
I've slowed down The Lullaby League, so you can hear the actual voices of Lorraine Bridges, Betty Rome, and Carol Tevis.
I've also restored the voices of The Lollipop Guild (Harry Doll, Jerry Maren, and Jackie Gerlich), who were dubbed in the released film by Billy Bletcher, Pinto Colveg and Harry Stanton.

Ray Bolger's early rendition of "If I Only Had A Brain"
Here is the same vocal featured in Mark's compilation above, this time by itself with the early unused version of the dance music.
It's a charming rendition, but its relaxed pace would have slowed the film down a bit too much.
