Collecting original cast albums? — Page 2

I have to say I found the Alfred Drake studio cast of The Vagabond King to be most entertaining. Coupled with Drake in Kern's Roberta made for a terrific CD. I believe Vagabond King often gets overlooked or overshadowed, probably because it wasn't written by Sigmund Romberg. If Romberg had written it, his big three (The Student Prince, The Desert Song, The New Moon) might be considered a big four.

FrontRow, you're absolutely correct in that these past few years have been a collector's delight. I only hope the youngsters out there realize this and get some of this great stuff, as well as the ones you mentioned. A lot of them probably think of these shows as "old," but they're new if one hasn't heard them before. Many of them may not be available forever and they're relatively inexpensive.

i guess i'd say a TINY bit a, but mostly b and d. I'll buy OCRs for shows that i havent seen or been in; avenue q. i havent seen it but i LOVE the music, so i have the OCR. but then take wicked. ive seen it twice. i LOOOOOOOVE it. so obviously, i have the OCR. i have a ton of them though. heres a small section of the ones i have:
-wicked
-avenue q
-a chorus line
-west side story
-man of la mancha
-once on this island
-seussical

theres more. but those are my favorites.

A combination of A and C.

I'm a B and C because I own the ablums to the shows I have seen(LSOH, TBFO, The Producers, Avenue Q, Wicked, The Frogs, Chicago), and then there's the two for the performers( Assassins for Neil Patrick Harris and Urinetown for Hunter). I also have SPAM on order, and I will purchase DRS and Little Women.
