If they don't record this because they think there are too many recordings already, then they are foolish.

The last 2004 broadway revival cast recording is my favorite.

I actually really enjoy that revival recording as well as the new song "Topsy-Turvy" which I know a lot of people here didn't like but I find very entertaining on the cast album. Still, I would like to hear this new cast as well with the restored "Rumor" number which I haven't heard on any other cast album except for the original Broadway cast recording.

Great news! Can't wait to listen. I'll be seeing it a few days before the release too :)

Posted: 2/2/16 at 11:53amI'm excited and glad that this is being recorded but March 18th is a little optimistic for Broadway Records and their notorious delays. Should I mark my calendar for April instead?

Just be aware that the prices at the theater are going to be a lot higher than if you ordered it online.

I wonder if we will return to a time where most Broadway albums (at least those on big labels) will be released on vinyl.

I don't really understand it. I understand why some people prefer vinyl to CD or mp3s but I don't understand what the record labels are getting out of it. They're likely spending more money to produce the LP cast albums than they spend to manufacture a CD and most cast albums never actually turn a profit or take years and years to do so. Why are they spending more money than they need to? What am I missing?

Vinyl is having a big resurgence in popularity, I'm sure we'll see many more cast albums released this way (IDK what's taking Hamilton so long to release their vinyl, though)

Posted: 2/5/16 at 4:36pmHamilton on vinyl makes sense. Those will sell. Using Fiddler as an example, I don't understand what the record label is gaining by releasing another revival recording of Fiddler on the Roof for an already niche market of people who buy cast albums, and then producing an alternate form of the same product for an even smaller subsection of that niche market. What's the incentive?

I mean it's not like cast albums are a super profitable venture anyway as you say. The demographic for them is in a large part very much in favor of physical copies as well, be it CD or vinyl.
I don't imagine you've ever purchased the format but they actually are a decent bit more expensive to purchase than a CD, which is already more expensive than a digital download.
I'd be interested to see the breakdown of how much a CD vs. an LP cost to produce.

Razor and Tie is re-releasing the OBCRs of West Side Story, My Fair Lady, and (the original) Fiddler on vinyl at the end of this month.

I purchased the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack of "Grease" on vinyl recently. I found it at the Barnes and Noble on Union Square. Their vinyl section is growing.
