Baby It's You/How To Succeed -- Best Album Tracks?

Baby It's You and the revival of How to Succeed were the 2 musicals I did not see on my trip to New York this spring. When released, I'll order the hard copy of each cast recording. In the meantime, though, I just want to download 1 or 2 mp3 tracks from each album off of Amazon to make a season compilation disc for my Tony party.

Any suggestions as to which songs from each show I should download? I'd love Beth Leavel's big number or 11 o'clock number if she has one.

I would appreciate any recommendations or insight anyone has -- thanks in advance!

From BABY IT'S YOU:
1. The Opening Medley (Mr. Lee/Book Of Love/Rockin' Robin)
2. Dedicated To The One I Love (Finale Version)
3. Duke Of Earl
4. I Met Him On A Sunday

From HOW TO SUCCEED:

The whole album was awful to me, as Daniel Radcliffe has no business singing. Just go with "Brotherhood Of Man" and call it a day...

^ Agree 100% about How to Succeed. Sounds like crap on the recording, but great in the theatre.

I think my favorite track on the "How to Succeed" album is the overture.

I saw How to Succeed and really loved it, but nothing is going to beat the OBC Recording. But just JMHO.

Thanks everyone.

Is there anyone who actually likes the new H2$ recording that has a favorite track? Also happy to hear any other opinions on BABY IT'S YOU. Trying to get a consensus here...
