According to the official Big Fish twitter, the album is up on iTunes and working normally.
Here's the tweet if anyone's interested:

Posted: 2/7/14 at 4:50pmYou have to download the album in order for all the songs to show up. The same thing was happening when I checked. I'm listening to the album now, though!

I'm disappointed in the lack of dialogue to open the CD and set things up, but aside from that it sounds great so far.
Was "This River Between Us" in the out of town tryout?

Posted: 2/7/14 at 6:28pmSo I have to download the whole album? I just want a couple of songs.

CATS, yes. It was in the place of "Stranger". I love "River". It's really great. River will also be in the upcoming piano/vocal book!!!
DramaTeach, if you've got the ten bucks do yourself a favor and download the whole album. It does NOT disappoint.

^Agreed. Whole album is worth it. I Don't Need A Roof still makes me cry. That scene in the show was where I started crying and wouldn't stop until the end, both times I saw it! I love Kate Baldwin.
And "How It Ends" and "Fight the Dragons" and "Magic in the Man"!
I don't think I'll ever be able to listen to this cast recording without crying!

Posted: 2/7/14 at 7:45pmSuch a shame this show didn't last. Great show and great cast recording. Wish i got to see it a second time...
#41When are digital albums generally released?
Posted: 2/7/14 at 7:51pmWhy in the world did they cut "This River Between Us?" I like it.
#42When are digital albums generally released?
Posted: 2/7/14 at 7:53pmI'm kind of disappointed that previews of songs are not up. I preordered an actaul CD and was looking forward to a sneak peak on iTunes.
#43When are digital albums generally released?
Posted: 2/7/14 at 7:58pm^Clearly something is up. I'm not sure if it's Broadway Records or iTunes, but I've never seen it like that where you can't preview the songs before purchasing an album.
#44When are digital albums generally released?
Posted: 2/7/14 at 8:44pmWhy did they cut "A River Between Us"?! Is a great effing question! Am I crazy to think that the song has a sort of Next to a Normal feel about it? For some reason I caught myself singing "catch me I'm falling" in my head.
#45When are digital albums generally released?
Posted: 2/7/14 at 8:47pmStraight from the horse's mouth (Andrew Lippa), while he loved "River Between Us", he felt that "Stranger" really set up Will's character a lot better; However, "River" was one of, if not my favorite, song from the entire score. So. Good.

In Bobby's most recent Chatterbox he talks about how "The River Between Us" made it seem like the differences between Will and Edward were irreconcilable and it painted both of them as far more negative people than they were intended to be. "Stranger" sets up his trajectory and his hope for reconciliation with his father as opposed to "River," which, while definitely a beautiful song, seems like they're both throwing in the towel right at the start.
This is a beautiful cast recording, though. The score plays really well and the minor adjustments they made in order to have the album flow work very well. So glad this show was preserved.

Posted: 2/8/14 at 10:17amDoes anyone know where "Magic in the Man" comes from ? What incarceration of the show? It wasn't in Chicago...

Posted: 2/8/14 at 11:18am@WJR2 I believe the album's press release/announcement said it was cut during Broadway previews.
