Sunset Blvd Changes Question — Page 6

Riiiiiight.

And while they're at it, they're re-assembling the Australian cast for a complete symphonic recording.

Guess you also read that on Debra Byrne's website today, huh?

Wonder if Hugh Jackman's site also mentions this recording?

I love the gun in that logo. It makes me laugh for some reason, though.

"Just got the OLC in the mail today. I love it, only it is packaged very old-fashioned like, as in a thick double-cd case instead of a compact dual-cd thing like most are today. Are they planning on remastering the London Cast Recording with new packaging any time soon?
"

Remastering albums from the 90s is really IMHO more or less a gimmick--albums that old don't usually need it or improve much. That said if it was remastered it would get new packaging...

Looking at Really Usefuls website I get the impression with their remasters they basically remastered one major version/recording of each of their shows--prob the one they see as most representative of the show--and that's the only one they advertise (Probably a reason they haven't remastered one of the old Evitas yet--they're still pimping on the site the new one). Since they remastered the LA recording I doubt they'll do any others for Sunset

Yes, I have the new CD with 'Surrender'. The whole thing was a disappointment, since the orchesrations of the songs are so overproduced and dry, plus Elaine's renditions are very lacklustre. I enjoyed her 2004 2-disc compilation 'Centre stage' much more.

That's because they had just released the new American premier recording of By Jeeves and probably felt no need to remaster the London revival. And they'll never let the original Jeeves out again so that's out of the question.

A friend just sent me a compilation with Elaine Paige's "With One Look", "The Perfect Year", "As If We Never Said Goodbye", John Barrowman's "Sunset Boulevard" and Sarah Brightman and, I think, John Barrowman again singing "Too Much in Love to Care". It's awesome.

shes definitely underrated as Norma - I loved her live performance.

And I hated Elaine Paige -

different strokes....

Yeah...I guess John Barrowman does look a tad too put together.

thanks cat - she was worse than what you saw online BELIEVE ME!

Here are some pictures of the original set and a picture of Patti from the book.

Troika did have a Sunset Boulevard poster up on their website as part of their upcoming projects section, but it has since disappeared along with the La Cage revival poster and other unofficially announced titles. I dunno why.
