As much as I loved "Xanadu" (saw it four times, all onstage), that cast album was so poorly produced and done that once or twice was enough. Such a disappointment.
Probably stretching the rules a bit, but I couldn't even finish the Royal Albert Hall "Chess" concert. Idina Menzel completely killed it for me. It sits in a drawer, second disc still unplayed to this day.

Posted: 5/28/12 at 8:12amAs much as I love Will Chase's voice and Tom Kitt's Next to Normal, I had zero desire to listen more than once to High Fidelity.

Posted: 5/28/12 at 2:00pmI'd be curious what the OP means re the original Follies having bad quality. Specifically why.

SPELLING BEE - not William Finn's finest hour imho
WEST SIDE STORY-NEW B'WAY CAST - nothing actually wrong with it but just not particularly essential or outstanding, apart from the Spanish lyrics
TITANIC - yawn
LOVE NEVER DIES - yawn again
THE PEOPLE IN THE PICTURE - this is actually a beautiful recording; it's just not a very stimulating score

Posted: 5/29/12 at 9:03pmWhistle Down The Wind is a terrible recording, although the material isn't that much better.

The concept album of Whistle Down The Wind is actually quite good.
I agree the OCR sucks though.

I probably wouldn't listen to lots of the bad shows others have listed here more than once. But fortunately, knowing they were bad shows, I never bought the recordings in the first place, and haven't had to listen to them at all!
