ACL Reival Recording? — Page 3

I can't believe that with the ability to add more they didn't add "And..." Why wouldn't they include it?

I like the new recording. I like Charlotte. But it's so bizarre the way she sings "through" as in "give me the chance to come through". Odd sound. Accent?

It sounds that way (odder) in the show itself.

I like the recording..just got it on Itunes this morning...sounds different...I dont really like "Dance Ten, Looks Three" it is supposed to be another show stopper and they was it was done in the revival and in the recording is just way to soft.

Also, if you notice all the ACL videos that are there like (clips from BWW, or Broadway.com or even Playbill.com) you notice that alot of the actors that in the line react to a lot of the solo stuff: Example...When Mike sings "I Can Do That" you can see Charlotee and Dedire smiling and responding. I remember doing the show and correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this supposed to be individual spotlights...and the rest of the cast is to be frozen as if what we are watching is happening in their own little world? Nonetheless, still a nice touch, makes it feel like this whole company is very supportive and for the show itself!

"And" is available off the Rhapsody downloading service, but you have to buy the full album to get that 1 track.

In addition, if you buy the CD off itunes, you don't get "And," but you do get 2 karaoke bonus tracks: What I Did For Love and One.

Still curious about this 2-CD remastering of the Original Broadway Cast recording of A CHORUS LINE. I checked EVERYWHERE and there is no listing for a 2-CD set new OR old.

The 1998 remastering, which included those extended bits in the Montage (adding Connie and Don's lines) and the correct song placement of "Nothing" and "Dance 10; Looks 3" is the ONLY remastering that exists AND it's not a 2-CD set.

What's up with this 2-CD thing?

I'm listening right now. While I am enjoying it, I do find myself thinking of the OBCR. While the voices on the new album are stronger, I feel like the original voices had a lot more character.

"And..." isn't on itunes. There are only two bonus tracks and they're karaoke tracks.

Ah. Gotcha. I do like the extended bits in the montage. It's nice that some of the less flashy characters get more album time here.

Well...at least we can watch him hog camera-time in the FOSSE DVD/video/PBS telecast.

Woof!

If you HAVE the Fosse DVD, that is.

Yankee - You are very right. But AND is an ensemble-ish number.

I thought the point of the CD was to also include AND and the stupid overture no one wants to hear.

I miss the sound of dancing in the opening.

"At the very least, they could have included the tits-and-ass monologue."

Yeah, I was surprised they shortened Val's stuff.

Guess we just gotta cut and paste!
