...and Fran has the hiccups and let's one out mid-song. I think it's a very cute touch.

The hiccup is way cute. When I get this cd in I will have to inaugurate it with a little group reading with some friends since I have the original published script with the girl spreading her legs.

I have that as well. Got mine off of e-bay. It's also available as part of a collection of Neil Simon plays that was published as a two volume set but I held out for the original published script.

We include that artwork as well - I think it's on the back of the booklet. :)

Not sure about never before seen photos, but we have a few really nice ones in the booklet - we normally do eight-pagers on the reissues, but we went to twelve for this.

Down to about 190 now. Couldn't be more pleased.

Happy to say that Promises, Promises will be here in the morning and all copies will ship out then.

Also, if anyone really wants this, I can pretty much tell you that it will be gone by the weekend.

I'm gonna listen to my Ryko version, possibly one last time, here at work so I can have it fresh in my memory to observe the change in sound quality.

So excited to get this! Thanks for the update. Congratulations on the successful release. Will it be reviewed anywhere like Playbill.com?

We don't usually send out review copies on limited editions - no point, really. That said, Peter Filicihia's getting one, and so is Steven Suskin.

Oh, and everything shipped out this morning. And there are less than eighty copies left.

Just got mine! Am listening to the "Newly Remixed in Show Order" cd.

It is pretty great.

The 2nd CD is definitely the version of PROMISES, PROMISES we fans of the show have always wanted.

You're gonna love it.

We don't send out shipping notices - we just ship :) They all went out yesterday morning, save for the orders that came in after that - but those went out last night and this morning so we're all caught up.

bk, it isn't clear by the liner notes, were you at "three Frans in one performance" performance?

Also, I saw the 1997 Jason Alexander Concert Version. I distinctly remember Linda Hart singing a brief song to Fran during the the "confrontation" scene just prior to TURKEY LURKEY TIME.

I had never heard it before. Do you happen to know anything about it?

Didn't they do that song at Encores as well? It's called "I Don't Know What You Mean," or something like. It's an oddly shaped song, as I recall, that doesn't really end and is very loud.

I remember that song. I saw the '97 Encores! staging and it was sung by Jenifer Lewis (as Miss Olsen) and Kelly (sic) O'Malley (as Fran Kubelik). The song stuck out like a sore thumb as it didn't have the famous Bacharach sound the other songs have.

#73

Yeah, it's called "You've Got It All Wrong." Definitely does not have the Bacharach sound.

Was it in the original production? If not, when was it added?

No, it was not in the original production. I guess it was only added for those two 90's concert productions of the show.
