So let's say I wanted to make a playlist with every piece from Follies that has been recorded including any incidental music/dialogue (which we have a lot of now thanks to PS Classics) and a full appendix (even more extensive than the Papermill recording.
Anyone want to take a stab at an Ultimate Follies Playlist? Off the top of my head I think the OLC has a few pieces that can't be found on any other recording, such as Country House, Social Dancing, and Make the Most of your Music.

Impossible. How could any two people agree?
Besides, no ultimate list could be truly ultimate without Nancy Walker's definitive "I'm Still Here" from the Scrabble album, which topped Yvonne DeCarlo's rendition, even to people (like me) who saw Yvonne DeCarlo:

Don't forget Brent Barrett's Make The Most Of Your Music and Michelle Pawk's It Wasn't Meant To Happen from The Stephen Sondheim album.

Posted: 11/25/11 at 6:59pmAny list missing Donna McKechnie's "Losing My Mind" and "Lucy and Jessie" is an incorrect list.

I didn't forget them. 
I find the orchestrations on that album almost entirely intolerable.

Posted: 11/25/11 at 7:37pmWow. Great discussion guys. Now just for the poops and giggles here's a ridic question. If you were to put the songs from the appendix in the running order of the show as listed so well and completely by lizabombs, where would you put them?

after seeing Follies last weekend, I was thinking of making an ultimate playlist as well! Someone else mentioned the NYC and Boston soundboard and bootleg. If anyone knows more info about how to find them, could you PM me?
Gracias!

Posted: 4/16/14 at 2:41amThought it was kind of odd to revive a discussion that ended so long ago. But if you've got that kind of time and an insightful comment that enriches the discussion, have at it.

LOL @ FishemanBob...at first I thought you were "Losing Your Mind" (pun intended), but then I realized when I was replying to this message that I've blocked the poster you're questioning.
