Does anyone have a source for the recording of this production?

I sometimes come across it on Ebay at outrageous prices. Why is this recording so rare? I seem to recall there were some legal issues involved which caused it to be withdrawn from the market. But I'm not certain.

Best Regards,

Michael

I don't know about the recording, but I saw the show during a trip to London. I was about 10 feet from Dame Judi Dench during Send in the Clowns, a song I normally dislike, & was completely overwhelmed. She was absolutely incredible. You could see every thought & emotion she had during the song play on her face. That song is still one of the best acting moments I've ever seen.

Don't know why it's rare, but I have my copy!!

Not sure why it was withdrawn from the market, or if it just went out of print. It's too bad - it was a beautiful production, and the recording is gorgeous. I just wonder if Trevor Nunn is the right person to direct the revival.
