One nice aspect: "It's You" made it onto the recording.
When I try to click on the iTunes Store preorder link, it doesn't work. I'd like to see the track listing for myself.

The pre-order link doesn't work for me either and I also can't bring up the recording by searching iTunes.
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.

Winthrop announcing what the Wells Fargo Wagon is bringing!
Sooo excited - that large cast is giving this recording such a full and rich tone!
Track listing:

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.)
The run time is over 82 minutes, by the way.
They recorded at Manhattan Center Studios. You’re right it’s not a traditional recording studio, it’s a very wide open multipurpose space.
Any idea if they plan to release on CD and/or vinyl?
Wow! What a nice complete recording (on paper, at least!)... Hoping it sounds great too!
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...
Looks like the album still dropped at midnight!
Not showing up in the Itunes store yet, unless I'm not seeing it...?

I found it on the iTunes Store, as well as Spotify.
My thoughts are coming later today.

Found it in my AppleMusic market. On Amazon - but needs local credit card ( for me).
An excellent companion piece if you have seen the show... but also a hook to see it.
Will be listening to it a lot - for when I see the show again.

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.
It came up on Apple Music when I searched "Hugh Jackman", but not "The Music Man".
It’s available on Apple Music and Amazon Music now…no need to wait for 10 AM.
As bwayphreak mentioned, search Hugh Jackman.
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!
Surprised it has no Dolby atoms on Apple Music. I thought the purpose of recording it in a more open sound stage was to give its sound spatiality.

God I’d forgotten about the weird My White Knight.
