bk I've enjoyed your recordings since I was 12--very cool

Unworthy of Your Love is a song I think should be done as such a pastiche that I hate the current recording of the show which dosn't showcase it at its pop finesse

Interesting, I thought the revival's arrangement put it more in pop than the original and specifically in the "pop" of the times of the actual stories. I love it. Such a game of opposites.

The revival of what?

ANyone else think Water Under the Bridge sounds somewhat Bacharach-ian (classic Bacharach of songs like Last One to Be Loved or later songs like God Give Me Strength)? Great great song, one of my fave Sondheim songs (bk I believe you produced the definitive recording of that too :P )

That was in reference to Unworthy of Your Love in Assassins

Ah--to be fair I don't knwo the revival album too well for Assassins--I've heard it full abotu three times but dont' own it--but the singing I remember of Unworthy--not the arrnagement itself so much--was much less "pleasant" and pop/70s friendly (didn't Sondheim himself say it was modeled after the Carpenters? Who of course has a coupel of big Bacharach/David hits)
