ANYTHING GOES cast recording released on iTunes — Page 3

I'm not sure who's more annoying: the people who are asking for a pirated copy or the sanctimonious people who are judging them.

Oh, the entitlement. If you WANT the hard copy, then WAIT for the hard copy.

I don't doubt for a minute that there are people (probably lots of people) that will claim to have purchased the cd that haven't. I'm sure there are also people that will cancel their advance copy upon receiving a pirated copy.

Unless things have changed: you didn't buy a copy, yet. You ordered a copy. You aren't charged until they ship it.

Until recently, I always wanted the hard copy...then I broke down and purchased one or two things directly from iTunes. That's all it took.....I no longer "need" hard copies. I'm sure some of that has to do with my realization that I no longer have room for more cds...just like I no longer have room for more books, thus my kindle.

Oh me too Kalimba. I fully embrace my hypocrisy.

If I lived in a glass house I wouldn't throw stones.

I hope this runs until I can afford to get to NY!
And my friend got to meet Sutton after one of the shows and was enchanted by her.
He can't stop saying how nice she is :)

NO! GO TO ITUNES AND BUY IT FOR YOURSELF AND STOP TAKING MONEY AWAY FROM RECORDINGS THAT NEED IT, YOU ENTITLED DOUCHE!

Yes, can someone please give this kid a free cast recording? He doesn't get his allowance for another week an he's just DYING to hear it now!!! And even when he does get his allowance he shouldn't have to spend it on something he can just get for free from someone here!

back on topic:

i also found the recording to sound kind of tinny. i think i might stick with an alternate recording of this cast for my ipod...

alfie, i was mostly surprised because sh-k-boom/ghostlight has had a really great track record of late with its cast recordings. oh well, it's not too bad..

My CD came in today! Just reminds me how much I love the artwork and the production design.

I deperately wanted to see this production with Sutton, which simply isn't going to happen, so I was thrilled to get the recording. And then immediately disappointed upon my first listen. I don't like the arrangements or orchestrations at all. Was anyone else let down by the glaring absence of strings? Sutton sounds fine, but to me, the whole thing sounds like a little Off-Broadway showcase rather than a full-scale Broadway revival. Maybe it works better in person with the staging and live performances, but I'll probably stick to the LuPone/Paige revival recordings I find much more dynamic and thrilling.

---

I always think there is a fine line between high quality/precision and sterility. Maybe seeing the show has influenced how I feel about it but I think this recording is a good balance between high quality and resembling what you would hear in a theatre. Listening to the 1987 revival again I think that the low quality and exccessive Reverb of that recording isn't very appealing either.
