Most of "The Music That Makes Me Dance" on the "Funny Girl" OBCR, but especially the opening verse.
The cello in "Later" on the "A Little Night Music" OBCR
Karen Akers' heartbreaking "My Husband Makes Movies"

I'm still hoping that the complete recording of "One Touch of Venus" does get released someday. It's a shame that the only available recording of this score is the truncated Mary Martin version. Have any of the Sadler's Wells productions in London ever had a cast recording? I wish they had recorded the cast of the Sadler's Wells production back in 2005.

Come now, best12bars. "Soliloquy" will have to be completely rewritten first in order to make it more palatable to a modern audience. All that sexist stuff about wanting a son will be replaced by lyrics that stress female empowerment. Think of it as "Carousel" for the "Wicked" generation.

Woman of the Year

Are there any plans to reissue the OBC of "Woman of the Year" on CD? My faithful LP died on me last week, and while I love the score, I can't afford to shell out $50+ for a single CD. I know that the album was issued on CD twice, first by Bay Cities and then by Razor & Tie. Have there been any other scores issued on these labels that were eventually picked up by something like Broadway Masterworks?
