Playbill article says that the deluxe edition of the Sweeney Todd soundtrack has 2 discs. Typo?

#2re: 'Sweeney Todd' Soundtrack Slices Up Billboard Charts
Posted: 1/3/08 at 6:29pmYes it is a typo. I am not sure why Nonesuch issued two different single disc versions with only 3 tracks difference. At any rate the film soundtrack CD has sold nearly 100,000 units in 2 weeks of release and it appears that the film has spurred sales of the OBRC and Revival OCR. (#5 and #11 respectively on the cast albums chart.)
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com
