Follies - 1987 London cast recording#1

Is there a full recording of this show, or only the highlights? I've looked in several places and have been unable to find it.

Your help would be very much appreciated.

I think the highlights version only eliminates one track, the fairly inconsequential "Social Dancing," which uses some of the "That Old Piano Roll" music from the Overture and little bits of dialogue.

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Hi

Yes there is a two CD cast recording of the show.

I would guess you could get it from amazon or www.dresscircle.com

But as Smaxie noted, it only has one track ("Social Dancing") that is not on teh single disc release, and it's a nothing bit not worth speningd big bucks for.

Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!

I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com
