NOW they tell us. As a sidebar, a machine is on the market that can accommodate LP/45 records, audio tapes and CDs all in one convenient package and priced at $99.00. It's too late for me -- I spend YEARS buying CD's of shows that I had on vinyl already.

Heh yeah, Annie and West Side Story are some of the best selling recordings of all time.


Ed, there's also a a recorder that lets you transfer vinyl onto CDs, for those shows that have never been released post-vinyl. I'm trying to convince my dad he needs that so I can have a copy of Man of La Mancha's London recording, but no luck so far.

If I choose thre more would thos also be $4.00 each?

Also interesting that karenL2's list is so similar to Missy37's.

In one sense these albums are "rare" in that you can't buy them new at all anymore and have to hunt for them in used record stores and Goodwill shops.

That said, the titles listed are for the most part albums that sold well and are commonly found.

The really scarce items are albums like the Ann Southern LADY IN THE DARK, the cast albums of LET IT RIDE!, EILEEN, MUSIC IN THE AIR and others went out-of-print fairly rapidly, and were never reissued on LP (though most have been redone on CD.)

The reason they went out of print in the first place is that so few copies were being sold. THAT is why they are so scarce now.

AT one point in teh late 1960s/early 1970s the holy grail items for collectors were early cast albums on RCA Victor (SEVENTEEN, MAKE A WISH, HAZEL FLAGG, CALL ME MADAM), Capitol (FLAHOOLEY, TOP BANANA, OF THEE I SING, PAL JOEY), and Decca (THIS IS TEH ARMY, CALL ME MISTER, ARMS AND THE GIRL, TEXAS LI'L DARLIN' and MEXICAN HAYRIDE.) These were all reissued in the big boon of 1976-79 and have since come out on CD.

There is very little that is high priced any more. WHOOP-UP on CD is very expensive and hard to find. So is the London cast of CHILDREN OF EDEN and the OBC of KWAMINA. Decca refuses to reissue WHOOP-UP arguing that it hardly sold any copies the first time out. CHILDREN OF EDEN is not reissued because of changes to the show and the composer does not want the older version on the market. DRG has listed KWAMINA for reissue but it was listed 2-3 years ago and still hasn't happened.
