Does every Broadway show — original casts anyway with decent runs — have a cast recording? I’m sure some don’t. Have there been any prominent musicals that didnt have a recording?

Neither was the previous Broadway revival of "Threepenny," the 1989 production with Sting, Maureen McGovern, Georgia Brown, and Kim Criswell.

Holler If Ya Hear Me recorded an album, I think. Never released, though.
Jesus Christ Superstar Revival is another one. Not sure on what's happening with King Kong.

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is one of the most egregious absences, I think.

The Lieutenant actually received a full cast recording, it was just never commerically released. I found a copy of it on vinyl that I digitized and uploaded if you're interested.

I know I'm probably one of only 5 people who wanted it, but I still wish the original Broadway cast of Dracula had been able to record a cast album. There were of course demos, and a studio cast album that was eventually released as well as a German language cast recording but I wanted a complete original Broadway cast recording with Tom Hewitt, Melissa Errico, Kelli O'Hara and Doug Besterman's superior orchestrations compared to the more rock oriented orchestrations we got later on the studio album and German cast recording.

If it was the OBC of HAPPY END that was referenced above (i.e., the version starring Meryl Streep), it was recorded and I downloaded it from iTunes in the past few years.
Encores! or somebody needs to do a concert version of LOVE LIFE and record it. To me, that seems the most glaring omission since OKLAHOMA! made OBC recordings common.

The Spring Awakening revival sadly did not get a recording

I think it would have been hard to feature a good amount of the cast on a strictly audio recording, but then again it is a shame.

Not Broadway, but I am sad we never got a recording of Korie and Frankel's HAPPINESS from LCT.
