The list of cast albums not on CD gets shorter all the time. Whoever thought we would get SAY, DARLING on CD? ANd DRG will finally release ILLYA DARLING! on Apr 29.

Top of my wish list is ANYA (a musical version of ANASTASIA with the music of Rachmaninoff set to lyrics by Robert Wright and George Forrest.)

Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!

I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

Happy Hunting and Bajour would be great additions as well.

But this is one of the best reasons to collect LP's-they are often the only way to get a listen to some of the lesser known shows from the Golden Age.

Happy Hunting and Bajour both got CD issues, but have since gone out of print.

Isn't DRG reissuing HAPPY HUNTING?

Joe, you know that it's Bryan. Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

Not sure whether "Eubie" ever got a cd release.

In only made a private digital copy of it from the LP.

Philcrosby, you are indeed correct.

How about a reissue of Edwin Drood? I paid a quarter for my LP, which fetches outrageous prices on Ebay and Amazon. Even the CD's sell for well over $70.

BeeHive-The Musical

One of my favorite recordings of all time!

Now that Say,Darling if finally on CD, I will be happy for a while.

Happy Hunting and Bajour have been on CD for a while.

Happy Hunting is getting a second pressing soon by DRG Records.

I agree with Drood; have it but would love it to be available for regional productions to hear.

If I am not mistaken you can download Beehive from itunes. I could have sworn I saw it. I am not at home to check but I will when I get home.

"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

You are right JRybka, it is available on itunes. It did have a transfer to CD, but if I recall correctly it was only available in a certain area outside the US.

And I completely agree that 'Anya' needs a CD transfer!
