Looks like Mr. Fred was either incorrect or trying to throw off the leaked release date….

Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim

Can’t wait for this!

He says it’s done but we still have to wait five more weeks for digital?

I don't know anything about making music. I just like Broadway shows. And I'm curious: Josh said that they needed the time to mix the album properly. And I do know that this is one of the best scores of all time. So is it likely that that's actually true and they needed time to perfect the mixing or is it more likely that they were caught up with music distribution rights litigation? I empathize with how difficult Spotify has made life for musicians. This delay feels similar to how Broadway shows might film a proshot but be caught in limbo regarding streaming residuals and royalty contract negotiations. But I could be totally wrong, so I'm curious.

And only a few days before the Grammy deadline

Hopefully they are planning a hard copy (cd) release in addition to the digital release.

I cannot wait. Wonder if Josh fans will push the album onto the top 200 charts!

His last solo CD sold around 40,000 copies in its first week of release.

I guess that was their actual deadline. It’s not like they needed to release the cast recording to sell tickets.

Based on the single they released for Not While I'm Around, I'd venture to guess it's most, but not all. A whole chunk is missing from the middle. The whole "Two quid was in it..." bit didn't seem to have made the cut.

One little letter is driving me insane............Please let it be the entire Parlor Songs (complete with Lovett's witty banter) and not just an abbreviation of the full number.

all will revealed tomorrow :)

It’s not. There’s a reason it’s called Parlor Song and not Parlor Songs.

I believe I read they are..... 

Does anyone have knowledge of when the  physical  CD will be released ?

Oh, these are impressive! Decent amount of characterization in the voices with some nice room tone as well, and those orchestrations are such a delight to hear. It's been a while since a cast recording has really made me want to buy tickets, and for a show I've basically memorized to boot...

It’s finally out! Thoughts below, folks.

GLORIOUS. Period. 

[CATSNYrevival]

It is glorious. A few spotty accents aside, and a lifeless vocal performance from Jordan Fisher, this is a wonderful cast and the orchestrations are brilliant. I appreciate that this production received a cast album, but I have to say I’m disappointed that the full score was not recorded. I understand abbreviating the dialogue scenes, but this is essentially a glorified highlights album, and since the last Broadway and London revival cast albums were also highlights, I was really hoping we might get a more complete recording of the score this time. The album is an hour and 33 minutes so when it’s on CD it will need to be on two discs. There’s room for more music. They recorded so much there’s really only a few passages of music they didn’t include, if not the full show, why not go the extra mile and at least record all of the music? I don’t get it. I’m not trying to be ungrateful I just don’t understand the choices made here.

A friend involved in the production said there will be a physical CD release, but no current expectations for a vinyl release.

Just as I expected, this sounds ten times better on the album than it did in the theatre. It's so nice to hear those lush orchestrations at a more audible volume.
