The Vinyl question reminded me.

I bought (by accident) an LP of the opening night cast party for "Promises, Promises". It has interviews with the attendees, many of whom are obviously drunk. A very bizarre endeavor!

Does anyone have or heard of another show that produced a cast party recording?

I just wonder if this was a 60s thing. The only thing I have seen that comes close to this is the Beatles recordings. I have seen/heard many LPs of press conferences with the Beatles, who tended to be fairly entertaining in that format. I have not heard of other pop/rock groups sell this type of recording. But, someone might put me wise.

I am going to have to listen to hear who said of Jerry Orbach, who had a pleasant voice, but had trouble sing in tune, "Jerry is such a great singer he can sing the notes in the cracks between the piano keys." (Listen to the OBC some of the harmonies will rattle your fillings)

The OBCR's of My Fair Lady[Post-recording] and Sweet Charity[Post-opening] have similar bonus tracks on their re-issues, but no full album I know of.
