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).

While this was a big drop of songs, it sucks the next drop is so far away, June 28th. 

Wish they would continue a once/twice a week release of songs, but I get it if they are still working on it.

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....

I just went through this entire thread. Someone said they were glad that the tracks were coming out in batches...so that time was taken to get them “right”... This sort of made me laugh as some of the greatest Broadway cast albums of all time were 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.

Has anyone noticed if they've said why the most recent batch of songs is only available in the US?

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’m probably in the minority here, but does anyone else here use Tidal? For some reason “Wait For Me” isn’t available? All of the other released songs are there, they finally organized it properly, but only the intro for “Wait For Me” is available...

Do we still have to wait seven weeks for this album? The full digital album won’t be out earlier?

[willep]

Correct. They are releasing batches of songs every couple of weeks and we will have it all by July 28th.

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.

Adding it here in case anyone needs the info - Google Play has had the songs since they were released, the only reliable way to find them is by song title. I also have a public OBCR playlist you can find easily (there's like 20 of these on GooglePlay).

I have been listening to the released song basically whenever I can. It is simply outstanding. Getting used to Reeve and Andre's voice (I listened to 2016 Live album a lot so my ears found their takes a bit off putting in the beginning). Amber Grey is an absolute treasure. The expressiveness of everyone's voices and mix quality really transports you to the theater. Last album which was this good was probably The Great Comet and Hamilton before that.

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