From what I understand there are only b/w pics in the new CD release, no IDS as to who sings what, and no bonus shirtless pics of Harry.
Shame on Columbia for such a flimsy release.
And who really wants to hear THOU SHALT NOT songs?

The booklet is pretty skimpy. It's a very poor release, compared to other things.

Oh.My.God. The booklet is TERRIBLE.
Two words that screwed everything up for me:
No LYRICS.
How am I supposed to annoy the heck out of everyone if I don't have the lyrics to the new songs as well as the old?
And the NO HARRY SHIRTLESS bit really pisses me off too!
And I agree. Who WANTS to hear any of the Thou Shalt Not songs?
FLIMSY.
CRAP.
Oh well. At least everyone sounds fabulous. Harry and Kelli electrify my speakers.
Take THAT, SONY!

Yeah, I got the recording, sort of an impulse buy, but I don't know why. I don't really like "Golden Age" Broadway musicals and I don't really care for jazzy all that much - ha. Oh well, I really would like the Thou Shalt Not CD, I prefer the more theatrical sounding arrangements. But I'll give it a listen. And I agree about O'Hara being down to earth. I remember her saying something about how she would never want to be in another Wildhorn show again because of the mess that he is. Ha, not everyone would have the balls to say that.
Just watched the Today show performance on You Tube. The arrangement was kind of...odd, but it worked.
Kelli is amazing. No wonder she's putting out a CD.

She IS. She sorta riffed well. Or at least, got into her character!
She is really, really cute on "Harry On Broadway: Act 1"'s third disc.
"Say, Kelli, They got tumbleweeds where you're from?"
"Why don't you say it?"
"Well, I'ma sing it to ya. Check it out:"

I just watched the Today Show segment...and I really liked it. I thought it was a cute spin on the song...and I think that they both sounded good on the song. I was cool to hear Kelli step out of Broadway stuff and do something jazzy.
Also, the Star Jones comments made me laugh also! haha. Thanks for that laugh :)
