Ethel Merman- Hello Dolly! would be a treat.
A studio cast album was done of The Body Beautiful a few years ago. It may still be in print via Amazon .
"The Apple Tree revival"
I think I've agreed with VintageSnarker about this many times, Kristin Chenoweth in the Apple Tree is one that I still get sad thinking about and I still hope PSClassics may get the old gang together and record it (especially since the previous recording is from 50 years ago and could use a new fantastic recording).
I also wish they had recorded Jessie Mueller in On a Clear Day and Into the Woods (because she's so fantastic and I want more of her in my collection). There are several Encores! productions I wish had been recorded: a new Bells Are Ringing with Kelli O'Hare, Anyone Can Whistle with Sutton Foster and Donna Murphy. Speaking of Donna, I would have loved a recording of the Follies starring her, Victoria Clark, Victor Garber and Michael McGrath. And just from this summer, a new recording of A New Brain would have been wonderful.

LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE with Jenn Gambatese (who was Mary in the Guthrie production). That was such a lovely score, and Jenn Gambatese gave a devastating performance that her replacement on the tour couldn't touch.
The original London cast of Chess. It's criminal that they never made a complete cast recording (especially since the only recording of the full show is of the awful Danish production).
A proper recording of the OBC in Carrie would have been nice. Alas, the Soundboard is enough I guess.
The 2012 Goodspeed production of Carousel - I still hold out some waning, irrational hope that it will transfer and get recorded. The power of the vocal performances in that cast and the memories of hearing them live have ruined the other recordings of Carousel for me.

Ooh, now that you say it we do seem to be having the same conversation over and over.
I can't say I'd want the whole album but hearing a song or two from some flop shows through If It Only Even Runs A Minute makes me very curious about what the entire score sounds like.
James Joyce's The Dead
The Double LP of OBC Follies
Yes Mr Roxy, Sunset was a reworking of Platinum.
Thinking of more recent productions, I'm part of team The Apple Tree. I enjoyed that show immensely.
"Ooh, now that you say it we do seem to be having the same conversation over and over. "
It's because this topic comes up frequently and you always mention it which reminds me to agree with you.
2014 Cabaret Revival
2014 Les Miserables Revival
Norm Lewis in "The Phantom of the Opera." He appeared with Sierra Boggess for a large chunk of time, but I think I'd like to hear the alternate Christine, Mary Michael Patterson, who was fantastic. Besides, we already have Sierra on the London 25th recording.

A proper English-language translation of Tanz der Vampire. (And no, the English demo doesn't count.)

I agree with the both of you. lol. Also, the EVITA tour with Josh Young and Caroline Bowman and Cry-Baby which will FINALLY get its recording this fall!
Welcome to the Club
Romance in Hard Times
Little Miss Sunshine
I would have loved a full cast recording of "Smile" with the full orchestrations. One of the best "flops" I've seen.
