Hey there, it is me, your old pal Steve Guttenberg – yeah, the guy who’s been cracking you up since the days of Police Academy and all those feel-good flicks. I gotta tell you, I’ve just spun this incredible Wicked: For Good – The Soundtrack on its splattery 2 LP set, and whoa, it is like diving back into that magical world of Oz all over again, but with a fresh twist that hits you right in the heart. Picture this: I’m in my living room, needle dropping on that vibrant splatter vinyl – it’s got this wild, colorful swirl that makes it look like a piece of art you’d hang on the wall, and oh boy, does it sound as epic as it looks.

You know, I’ve always been a sucker for a good story with powerhouse tunes, and this soundtrack? It is packed with the kind of emotional punch that sticks with you long after the record stops spinning. We’ve got Cynthia Erivo belting out “No Place Like Home” with that soul-stirring voice of hers – it’s like she’s channeling every bit of Elphaba’s journey, making you feel every high and low. And don’t even get me started on Ariana Grande as Glinda in “The Girl In The Bubble”; her performance is pure sparkle and sass, wrapping you up in this bubble of joy that’s impossible to resist. Then there’s “The Wicked Witch of the East,” a track that was hiding in the shadows until now – it is got that raw edge that wasn’t on the Broadway recordings, and it’s a total game-changer.

All of this magic comes from the genius mind of Stephen Schwartz, that Grammy and Oscar-winning wizard who’s crafted lyrics and music that’ll have you humming along for days. This isn’t just any soundtrack; it’s the electrifying wrap-up to Universal Pictures’ Wicked saga, building on last year’s blockbuster debut that is already rewriting history for stage-to-screen adaptations. And since it’s an Amazon Exclusive, you’re getting that alternate cover art that is got its own mysterious vibe, plus a poster to deck out your space – talk about a collector’s dream. At just about 0.96 ounces and fitting neatly at 0.04 x 0.04 x 0.04 inches, this 2 LP set from Republic Records is as sleek as it is substantial, landing it at a stellar spot in the Best Sellers, like #2 in Movie Soundtracks. It is English language, of course, and ready to ship out since September 17, 2025, with the movie hitting theaters on November 21, 2025.

Listen, if you’re like me and you crave that vinyl warmth that digital just can’t match – the crackle, the depth, the way it pulls you into the story – then Wicked: For Good is your next must-have. Imagine cranking this up at your next get-together; friends will be floored by the performances and that exclusive splatter design. It’s not every day you snag something this special, so why wait? Grab your copy, let the music transport you, and let’s keep the good times rolling. ASIN B0FRBBVRXQ – that is your ticket to Oz, my friend.

I’ve been spinning “Wicked: For Good – The Soundtrack” on my turntable for days now, and trust me—this splatter vinyl exclusive isn’t just for collectors. It is the essential companion piece for anyone who fell under the spell of Universal’s two-part “Wicked” cinematic journey.

When Stephen Schwartz first unleashed these melodies on Broadway, he captured lightning in a bottle—that rare alchemy where theatrical composition meets pop accessibility without compromising either. Now, with this continuation soundtrack featuring the film’s conclusion, the emotional payoff is even more potent through your speakers than it was in theaters.

Cynthia Erivo’s rendition of the new original “No Place Like Home” is nothing short of transcendent. Her voice—that instrument of remarkable technical precision and raw emotional power—transforms Schwartz’s composition into something approaching religious experience. When she hits those sustained notes in the bridge, there’s a moment where time seems to suspend entirely. I found myself holding my breath without realizing it.

Ariana Grande, meanwhile, continues to surprise skeptics who questioned her casting. “The Girl In The Bubble” showcases her remarkable growth as a performer—her crystalline vocals conveying both fragility and determination as Glinda navigates her final character evolution. The interplay between Grande’s pop sensibilities and Schwartz’s theatrical foundations creates fascinating tension throughout.

What makes this collection particularly valuable is the inclusion of “The Wicked Witch of the East,” a number mysteriously absent from all previous cast recordings. Hearing it in its fully orchestrated glory explains why this second film carries such devastating emotional weight.

The splatter vinyl itself—emerald and pink swirls against midnight black—feels almost alive when spinning, a visual echo of the story’s magical elements. The alternate cover art (exclusive to this Amazon edition) captures a quieter, more contemplative moment between our protagonists that speaks volumes about their complicated relationship.

Fun fact: Schwartz reportedly spent three months reworking “No Place Like Home” after a late-night conversation with Erivo, who suggested a subtle melodic shift in the chorus that completely transformed the song’s emotional impact. That collaborative spirit permeates every groove of this record.

For the dedicated “Wicked” enthusiast who has followed this story from Gregory Maguire’s novel through the Broadway phenomenon to this cinematic conclusion, this vinyl represents the completion of a musical journey decades in the making. But even casual soundtrack collectors will find this pressing irresistible—it’s that rare film music that stands completely on its own, telling its story through pure musical expression.

As the needle tracks through these final chapters of Oz’s most compelling untold story, one thing becomes abundantly clear: this isn’t just merchandise; it is a carefully crafted musical experience that deserves proper vinyl treatment. In these digital days, there’s something particularly defying about experiencing this soundtrack the way albums were meant to be heard—as a complete, immersive journey.
