Did any one see this, just read the Times review and it sounds very interesting.
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Wow! I can't believe this is just being released now. It feels like such a long time ago that I saw this back in November 2013 at the Vineyard. It was a very interesting show with some very creative ideas and cast. It was very strange at the same token, which I noticed was a turn off to some people in my party. But overall I really enjoyed it, and am looking forward to hearing this again when it's released.

Jay Records takes their time. I saw it and really hated it, but it's nice that they recorded it.

The packaging does look lovely.
I saw it and found it to be disjointed and mediocre at best. Still, I'm too much of a completist not to buy it.

They say that " All orders from the United States placed before Monday (April 11) will be shipped from NYC on Thursday, April 14." - so we're nearly at the finish line with this one!

For anyone who's interested, JAY also (re)released their the London Pacific Overtures this week.
I believe it is a re-master of the original RCA recording.
....but the world goes 'round

For Jay, 3 years is a quick turnaround. There are studio recordings they made when I was in high school almost 20 years ago that I'm still waiting to see released.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

I caught this - "Andra" and "The Brick" were mediocre at best but I found "The Landing" incredibly beautiful and moving.

I agree that the Landing was the best out of the three vignettes in the show, just worth mentioning.

Just ordered this- hope everything is OK. They don't seem to be big on communications.

I think I'll wait to order it until there's confirmation that they're actually shipping.

In regards to JAY releases, the owner of the label posts a lot on one of the musical Facebook pages.
The PacificOvertures remaster is of their previous release--the complete ENO production. The old RCA now Sony OBCR remains the only pre 1990 Sondheim OBCR to not have a remaster which is too bad.
And yes they take their time. Aa mentioned their complete Anyone Can Whistle with Friedman and Barriwman was recorded 15 or so years back. And Yap confirmed it is sadly NOT their next release--it remains unmixed and I doubt we'll see it this year, he seems to have lost interest in the project (they usually get funding help like the Weill foundation for Venus, and it seems they lost a backer for Whistle--one they had back when they released the complete Don't ballet a few years back as a sample). Which frustrates me to no end-surely a complete Whistle would sell better than some of their other upcoming releases, and they could even profit by Barrowman being much better known now then back then when he was just known in the West End.
Ahem anyway sorry for the rant.
