Moments on Cast Recordings that drive you crazy — Page 3

'1. The weird noise after"everyone deserves the chance to fly!"' - Allentown2

It's her breathing in...Idina's little problem. Believe me in London she appears to have gotten over it. Thank God!

afaye, I think that's supposed to be Princeton reacting to Gary's line.

In the OBCR of Beauty and the Beast after "That every daughter's great" in No Matter What there is a weird noise that I can never make out.

3 of the worst mometns:

The amazingly out of tune singing on "Why Am I Me" from Shenadoah.
The even more out of tune singing on "Our Little Secret" From Promises Promises.
That song the preacher sings with the sibilant sssss at the end of Footloose.

---

If I had to describe it, it's a very faint sound. Kind of like a person saying "Ah." It's over almost as fast as it started.

I'm not a huge fan of the "instrumental reprises" at the end of The Ballad of Guiteau and Czolgoz on the Assassins Revival Recording...

I love "Fiddler On the Roof," but the OBCR is so hard for me to listen to! The daughters sound awful in "Matchmaker" and Golde isn't any more pleasing to the ear. The only thing I like about the album is Zero, and even he can have his moments of not-so-great greatness.

During "In" on the soundboard recording of "Carrie," it's painfully obvious that many of the girls were taking big breaths to keep up with the crazy dancing, and it's because of this that they are not always together.
It's like:

"I go crazy..."
--"I go crazy..."

Ugh.

Two Gentlemen of Verona--I can't believe they missed this when they remastered the original LP for its CD release, because I catch it every time and it's incredibly annoying. On the track "Follow the Rainbow", there is a point where male voices since "Pool all of our knowledge/keep us safe and sound". Then the group of voices breaks up, and half of them begin singing (in the background) "How can we ever be lost?" Problem is, one of the loud voices from the first line carries over for the first split-second of the word "how", and then is abruptly silenced. Yes, it's only a moment, but it's pretty noticeable.

When Ann Reinking says "I'm gonna get me a whole bunch of boys!"
during Roxie on the Chicago revival cast recording.

I really hate the way she says it. She sounds like she's like the wicked witch or something. But then again that's just me.

"Rose_MacShane, Since Princeton is in Lucy's hospital room when "I Wish I Could Go Back To College" takes place, maybe the beeping is the machine that Lucy's hooked up to..."

Doubt it. Sounds like a soft chirp and it happens once. If it were a machine, it would happen louder and more often. I mean, yes, I understand the toliet flush in "Mix Tape" that is not in the show, but why would the hospital noises (also not in the show during the song) make it into the recording if they're not necessary? Sounds like a song glitch.

Also, this is not pertaining to any real Broadway CDs, but on the Little Shop Movie Soundtrack I absolutely HATE it that they only leave in parts that are sung (with an exclusion of "Da Doo"), especially ignoring the bridge in "Grow For Me" when Seymour feeds Audrey II his first drop of blood...who's idea was it to take that out?!...

Company from Company at "Just be the three of us, only the three of us we LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE" someone's being really loud and then they stop singing and then join back in, it annoys me so much.

I hate the glitch in the middle of HE'S THE WIAZRD on the THE WIZ OBC.
