First Listen: Select songs from Hadestown cast album; to be released “in batches”? — Page 4

I will say that at least with today’s release we do get a chunk of the show that we can listen through (‘Songbird’ through the end of Act One).

Looks like the only songs released in teh second batch were:

Hey Little Songbird

When the Chips are down (intro)

When the Chips are down

Why we build the wall

Is that it? I can't find any articles about what songs were released.

EDIT: Looks like they just posted the new songs on their twitter/

“Livin’ It Up On Top” “Hey, Little Songbird” “When The Chips Are Down (“Songbird vs. rattlesnake…&rdquo [Intro]” “When The Chips Are Down” “Gone, I’m Gone” “Why We Build The Wall” “Why We Build The Wall (“Behind closed doors…&rdquo[Outro]” “Flowers” “Road to Hell (Reprise)”

EDIT EDIT: Looks like "Gone, I'm Gone" isn't on Spotify for some reason. Grumble grumble grumble....

This sort of made me laugh as some of the greatest Broadway cast albums of all timewere recorded in one whole-day session, edited, mastered and replicated on vinyl and shipped to stores in approximately 10 days...give or take. I’m referring to, in particular, the spectacular recordings produced by Goddard Lieberson for Columbia In the 50s and 60s.

Many of these recordings are still regarded as definitive, have excellent sound and have never been out of print. They made the transition to CD...and then to remastered CDs...and now to high resolution downloadable files. So the next time you listen to the OBC recordings of “The Sound of Music,” “Camelot,” Sweet Charity” and many many others, remember that they went from recording studio to record stores in less than two weeks often.

So, I too think the staggered release of “Hadestown” is a little frustrating. Additionally, I wasn’t buying cast albums in the 50s and 60s...just some Googling and album liner notes will provide a lot of this information."

While I don’t deny the incredible quality of these classic original cast albums, that is simply not how recordings are made today, any recordings whether cast albums or pop/rock/jazz/classical albums. For this particular show, which is said to have around two hours of music, each instrument is probably isolated, each vocalist is isolated, different configurations of ensemble members are isolated, they’re all recorded in different takes with multiple punch-ins... I think it would have been a Herculean effort to get it done by the original release date. They’ve already released 42 minutes worth of music, so if they weren’t doing a double album, it probably would have been doable.

I use Tidal and I've got it. They're a little tricky to find. Try searching an actor's name (Reeve Carney, Andre de Shields), scroll through all of their available tracks and you should find it.

This is going to be a long seven weeks. I'm trying not to think about it but this thread keeps reminding me.
