Just FYI I've never heard the score or anything from the show and am looking forward to it!

I was not familiar with the score until I saw this production, and it's a lovely score. "Some Other Time" is hauntingly beautiful.

I'm really happy you guys are discovering this score. It's one of the classics.

Can't wait to hear this new recording, P.S. Classics always puts out such great recordings. Sound quality, breadth of material, packaging - aces all the way.

YESSS! Just downloaded. I ordered the physical CD as well. I am seeing the show for the first time next week, and I could not be more excited!

Is this the first time they've released digitally before shipping the pre-orders? I know that's how most labels do it now but PSClassics usually seems to favor their physical media customers with their pre-orders often shipping weeks before the CD hits store shelves and iTunes. I already feel a little wounded having to pre-order twice because of their delays and postponement of the initial release date and now it's up digitally before my CD has shipped? Am I the only one who's a tiny bit put off by this? I know Tommy was ill so I'll just be thankful that he seems to be doing better now and happy that people are enjoying the score as I camp out next to my mail box.

Does anyone know why there are like 7 tracks missing on iTunes?

You're right! "I Can Cook Too" isn't even listed. That can't be right.

Amazon has the full album up for digital download and for only 11.99 compared to the itunes 13.99 but the amazon download does not include the digital booklet.

Alyssa Umphress tweeted a few minutes ago that there was a snag with the itunes store release missing some songs but that it is being fixed.

I bought the album on iTunes this morning, and I Can Cook Too was included.

Ugh I cannot wait to hear this!!

I'm considering buying it. Anybody care to say how it compares to the 1960 studio cast.

I know it's not up there now, but do PS Classics put any of their releases on Spotify?

[bwayphreak234]

Posted: 3/3/15 at 5:53pm

^ No, they do not.

I don't blame them, but, darn...

A search for "label:ps_classics" (yay advanced spotifying) shows that both XANADU and FUN HOME are on Spotify under the PS Classics label, so there is some precedent.

Granted, I had looked for FUN HOME before so it only went up recently. Maybe ON THE TOWN will be on there by the end of the year...

WOW this recording is amazing!!!

[Mr. Nowack]

Posted: 3/3/15 at 8:09pm

Yay my pre-order is shipped!

How long does their shipping typically take?

Does anyone else's Amazon digital copy skip at times?

It's a fantastic recording, maybe one of the best of the (now five) recordings of the show I have. ljay889, I noticed my iTunes copy doing some skipping and thought it was just me.

[CATSNYrevival]

I'm hoping the actual CDs don't have that skipping issue. I've seen reviews on iTunes from people complaining about it. PSClassics has not been on their A game with this release, all the delays and now this.

According to PS CLassics Facebook page, there were technical issues with the iTunes release, and they have all been corrected. This recording is really stellar.

I've never had songs from iTunes skip before, I wonder who I contact about having them replaced?

My digital copy skips during Times Square Ballet... Where are other people noticing skipping? Other than the skipping this is a stellar cast recording. My physical copy arrived yesterday, and it is beautifully packaged.
