It may not show up on iTunes at all until 10am Friday. Not sure what track list Smaxie is seeing. It's interesting if they did record "It's You" since it's not used in this production. That would mean they possibly recorded that at the expense of other musical material that is used in the show.

Hard to ask for anything more when an album includes the Entr’acte, Exit Music and bonus tracks. Seems like they went out of their way to include as much material as they could which I always appreciate.
Plus, the way they recorded it in the theatre, on the stage, out of the studio. It should help really give it that production edge and more theatrical sound. I’m sure this will be more fun and effervescent than many think the Dolly recording was. (I actually enjoy it.)
Soundbites available here... bear in mind, these are compressed samples that won't necessarily reflect the actual sound quality of what we'll hear when the album is released in the morning. Until then, goodnight, my someone, goodnight, my love...
I will never understand any production that puts a drum on Rock Island Line. The entire purpose of the number is that the actors create the rhythm. That was the entire point. But it's become a thing now to put a drumbeat on it as if they think the audience is too stupid to get that the speaking IS the train rhythm.
This is definitely a very solid and complete recording based on what I've listened to so far. I love that the dance break is included in "76 Trombones". This never has been, and never will be, one of my favorite scores, but I will never turn my nose up at a new Broadway cast recording!
