So i recently went to Amazon and tried to find the new Hair recording which they do not carry. And looking farther they have stopped carrying The light in the Piazza and spelling bee. Does anyone know what is going on with Amazon? Are they discontinuing carrying sh-k-boom recordings? If so that would suck big time!

edit: typed the wrong show I meant spelling bee not altar boyz

Really? Less than 2 weeks after the Tonys? I thought their sales were up.

They're selling Piazza and Bee...
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Can't find Bee & Piazza now, but I purchased both via Amazon after the Tonys...

Yes I know that they WERE selling Piazza and Bee right after the tonys, but my comment was that they have STOPPEd selling both, which makes me wonder if they are going to discontinue selling sh-k-boom recordings, or if it is just those recordings...?

Huh. That's funny. Definitely no Piazza or Spelling Bee to be found. I was counting on them being there once I got enough money to buy, so I hope they restock.

that's really odd. even if they were just out of copies due to high demand you'd think they'd still list them.

re: Amazon.com

Posted: 6/14/05 at 2:12pm

If they are out of cds they normally do keep them listed, this looks like they are not carrying them anymore.

I already have Piazza and Bee thank god, but I am pissed that they no longer carry the 42nd Street New Broadway Cast Recording which I cannot find a copy of anywhere!

If you go to Amazon.com you can write an email for recommendations. Maybe if they recieve enough recommending they continue selling cast recordings they will continue to stock them. Just a thought.
(Martha Graham from a letter to Agnes de Mille) "There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening That is translated through you into action, And because there is only one of you in all time, This expression is unique. If you block it, It will never exist through any other medium And be lost. The world will never have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, Nor how valuable it is, Nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours, clearly and directly, To keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware Directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, A blessed unrest that keeps us marching And makes us more alive than others."

That is odd, especially since both are listed as a top seller. They just show the album cover without any link. I ordered both Bee and Piazza from Amazon yesterday though and both are shown as being prepared for shipment. Hopefully, I got that in in time and there won't be any delay.

it is odd that they are not listed there anymore, but what would this have to do with Sh-K-Boom???

Spelling Bee is on Ghostlight Records, & Piazza is released on the Nonesuch label

Sorry I forgot that Piazza is nonesuch. Ghostlight is a division of sh-k-boom, hence why I thought they were not carrying sh-k-boom recordings. But it looks like they are discontinuing carrying cast recordings. Weird.

oh no! how crazy is this?! I was seriously looking at the page for Bee and Maybe even piazza just yesterday. I'm with Plum -- I was saving my pennies. This is not good. Amazon was the only reliable place to get cast recordings (for those of us not in NYC). I hope this is a temporary thing.....

there's a bunch of cast recordings still listed. and they still list both adam pascal CDs which are Sh-K-Boom as well as Little Women and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels which are Ghostlight so none of this makes any sense at all...

re: Amazon.com

Posted: 6/14/05 at 3:11pm

Dirty Rotten Scoundrel -

The L5Y CD is now out of print. I went to Barnes & Noble to purchase it after I saw the show the other day - and the manager of the store said that B&N stores will no longer carry it. Whatever is out there is out, there will be no more.

That's interesting about L5Y -- I ordered it from Amazon back in April and received it somewhat promptly (by Amazon standards at least).

Yes, they still have them, but are more being produced?
