Where is the opening number and the act 1 finale?
And why did they move Losing My Mind/ Not a Day Goes By to disc 1?

I'm confused why they don't have the Weekend in the Country/Into the Woods/Sunday Act 1 finale number. That was one of my favorite parts of the show and seems a notable oversight to not include it.

Yeah, the opening and the end of Act I medleys were the most unique parts of the show, it would be odd not to include them. I'm hoping the listing isn't quite right.

This is all part of Gods wrath for Cathy winning the Tony.

We were warned...

This is all according to Amazon.Com, so there are probably some songs missing or not arranged correctly.

This is by NO means a final track-list. E-retailers require a tracklisting three months in advance to put up a listing on thier sites, so this was a mock one made for Amazon.

No "Epiphany," "Happiness," "Ah, But Underneath?"

[Jordan Catalano]

I'd be ok with not having Wopats "Epiphany".

Somehow I'd live.

Darn, I was so looking forward to "Meet Me at the Donut."

As long as the final CD includes as many Sondheim insights and anecdotes as possible from the show, I'm good.

I'm so glad they're including the sections with Sondheim speaking.

As divvarobbie said this is not the actual track list. The Playbill article announcing the cast recording release confirms this.
Although Amazon is already reporting a track listing, Krasker cautions that it's a "mock" track listing. "One of the more bizarre aspects of retail is that in order to set up a title, we have to provide a track listing three months prior to street date. But of course, on most cast albums — particularly expansive ones like Sondheim on Sondheim — the final track listing isn't solidified until the final stages of post-production. So we set up the title with a 'mock' track listing, which inevitably gets refined. Those who know us know we continue to refine and polish albums until the minute they ship to plant. As I recall, Joe Mantello and John Weidman and I decided to delete about five lines of dialogue from the Assassins recording even after the booklet had shipped to plant — so we had to pull the thing out of production!"
He added, "What I will say, at this time, is that the recording will include not just the superb performances from the show…but a good chunk of Sondheim's commentary. Finding the right balance between the two is the challenge in the weeks of post-production ahead, and that balance that will ultimately determine the final track listing. Sondheim on Sondheim is a unique experience on stage, and I think it's going to make a very special recording. Although the listener won't have the fun of 'seeing' Steve, of course, I think that even as an audio-only experience, it's going to be both entertaining and illuminating."

Was "talent" even in the show? I never remembered it being performed (I know it was in the playbill, but I put it with the Pacific Overtures entr'acte.

"Talent" was a medley with "When I Grow Up." It was cut during the first week of previews.
