I've heard the 'Overture' & title track. Initial thoughts: The orchestra sounds a little thin especially in the 'overture' track. It's not something I noticed as much in the theatre. Kind of like (but not as bad as) hearing the revival of "A Little Night Music" on record vs in the theatre for the first time...for some reason to me it always sounds worse on record (especially when you are used to listening to the OBC). Of course much better than the Doyle orchestrations.

Rosalie Craig sounds similar to how I heard her in the theatre (when in full voice, not sick). If anything, she sounds better on the recording especially with the high notes towards the end of the song.

Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

Where did you get a first listen?

Logged out of my US iTunes and temporarily switched the store to Australia and can hear the preview clips. Sounds great, but the tempo in the title track was just a little slower than I'm used to, but besides that, it makes me more excited to see the show in March. Gonna take a listen to the rest of the songs.

It’s always released at 12am local time, so if you are in a different timezone on Apple Music you effectively get it early.

I can’t wait till people who haven’t seen the show notice the myriad of changes and post their thoughts!

Oh I'm excited! I love Company, and while I am a bit hesitant about all the changes, I think they might work. I'm optimistic, but we'll see.

I'm excited to hear Patti's tracks. I still have mixed feelings about the rest of it. Ultimately, I think I would have preferred an original musical with this concept rather than a rewrite of Company.

Some changes work. Some are just confusing and make zero sense.

I'm dying to hear this. It hasn't popped up on my usual "source" yet.

I guess you’ll just have to buy it tonight and not steal it.

I pre-ordered it already so.....
I'm just impatient.

Of course you did. And we all believe that.

Yes. I did purchase it. Careful up on that high horse.

Why is it so unbelievable that I bought it? Is it really stealing if I purchased it and then download it to listen to it early? I've done this many times and just deleted it at midnight. It's not like I pass it along or make a profit off of it like a lot of people do.

Are you really that impatient? For me, part of the fun is the wait. What would you have done in the old days when you had to wait until release day and actually go to the store and purchase a physical CD?

They’ve recorded a lot of the ‘new’ music: the Alice in wonderland-Esque scene transition music, the electronic/techno Company when it transitions into the Night Club with LuPone. The new ‘tick tock’ scene. The dialogue is very spare - I wish they captured some of LuPone’s lines before ‘Ladies Who Lunch’.

‘Not getting married today’ is not translating well on the recording in my opinion.

I would not have thrived in the old days. Also, no, I'm usually not this impatient, but this is one that I'm ridiculously excited about. I've held off on hearing anything from this production so I'm very interested in the changes.

qolbinau, did the orchestra sound thin the whole time to you or was it just your initial thought?

It sounds better/fine as it goes on to me. Not thin like the Doyle recording. Still - just listen to the first 5 seconds of the OBC and then this opening and you’ll immediately hear the difference.

Why is the preorder on iTunes so dang expensive?

#297

It might have something to do with higher licensing and distribution fees they're trying to recoup.

I loved Barcelona live. Yes very much due to Richard’s performance in every area but it was a great comedic moment.
