I'm glad the full score and these performances are being preserved!

So happy they included all the versions of "I Have Written A Play"

I've always wondered why the black porter is not in the promotional art...

That said, can't wait to have this seemingly complete recording of the score performed by this cast.

When did they record this? Hope Peter Gallagher was well enough!

It was recorded last Monday, and Peter was out the Sunday before to save his voice.

Roundabout has posted a link on their website to pre-order it, if anyone is interested. (:

Uh oh it looks like they've included a lot of dialogue tracks that grow tiresome after repeated listens. But that doesn't matter I can't wait to hear it!

But that's the good thing about them being seperate tracks rather than dialogue being included in the songs, you can skip them or throw them of your ipod if want.
I personally love being able to listen to a whole show, not than just the songs. They did that with Violet and I think it's awesome.

Oh my god the cover is terrible. What a shame.

As much as I hated this artwork originally I actually miss it now

[gypsy101]

Posted: 3/31/15 at 12:01am

You know, I didn't hate that original artwork, I just think the new artwork looks dreadful as the cover. I don't know what I expected, I just hoped it wouldn't look like this.

Yes, the art is such a bad Photoshop job. Roundabout really needs to get its marketing department back on track. I liked some of the 70s-style art they were doing the previous two seasons- sad to see they've gone the budget route this year.

Maybe we should all petition psclassics to commission a new cover??? That would totally work.

[Mr. Nowack]

Posted: 3/31/15 at 2:21am

Over the years PS Classics has released a number of albums not utilizing the official poster art.

Which shows were those? The only one I can find is Passion.

[Mr. Nowack]

Posted: 3/31/15 at 2:56am

The NINE revival didn't either I believe? ROAD SHOW was another, in addition to PASSION as you mentioned. I was also thinking of LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA but I think that was actually a different label.

Three is a number after all!

Passion still bums me out. The artwork for that revival was gorgeous and I wish they could have found a way to make it work for the cast album cover or even just included it as an insert inside the CD case or slip cover that came with it.

[Fantod]

Posted: 3/31/15 at 3:06am

Yup. Didn't see those. I wasn't doubting you, I was just wondering.

The era is a graphic designer's dream, which makes their promotional artwork that much more disappointing.
