Post by: bk on April 23, 2011, 12:59:33 AM: As promised, here are our two new Kritzerland releases for your early eyes - you know the drill - they're each 19.98 and 3.75 shipping covers both. Paid directly to paypal.com using our paypal address, which is kritzerland at adelphia dot net.

Kritzerland is proud to present two new limited edition soundtracks – one great soundtrack and one great show:

UNTIL SEPTEMBER
Music Composed and Conducted by John Barry

An American In Paris named Mo misses her flight with her tour group and has become stranded in the City of Light. She meets a debonair French banker named Xavier. Pretty quickly he informs her he’d like to sleep with her despite the fact that he is married. And therein lies the tale of an affair to remember and love conquers all. Directed by Richard Marquand (fresh from directing Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi), the film stars Karen Allen as the spunky Mo Alexander, and Thierry Lhermitte as Xavier, the cocky, suave, rich, and good-looking Frenchman. As the Gershwins wrote, who could ask for anything more? Well, the audiences and critics of 1984, because they just weren’t buying Until September. But eventually, on cable and video, the film found fans, fans that found the love story appealing, and the scenery irresistible. But making the whole thing doubly appealing and irresistible is the gorgeous score by John Barry.

No one did this kind of score better than John Barry. He’d already given the world the hyper-romantic score to Somewhere In Time, and would soon do Out Of Africa, both of which spawned best-selling soundtracks. Barry, of course, was already a legend for his James Bond scores, and had also provided classic music for any number of great films, including Séance On A Wet Afternoon, The Ipcress File, The Knack…And How To Get It, The Wrong Box, Born Free, The Whisperers, Mary, Queen of Scots, Midnight Cowboy, The Lion In Winter, Walkabout, Robin and Marian, King Kong, Body Heat, and that list doesn’t even scratch the surface. Every cue in Until September drips with exquisite Barry melody and invention. There is no use fighting it – just surrender, close your eyes, and let the music wash over you, its very own City Of Light.

The soundtrack to Until September has had several releases – an LP on Varese Sarabande, a CD of that album presentation on Silva Screen, and a limited edition release of the almost complete score by Intrada – the latter was an instant sellout, and many people missed out on that release. And so we decided to make it available again in another edition of 1000 units, so that the people who missed out would have another chance to get it, and because we wanted to honor the memory of the great John Barry with one of his most romantic and beautiful scores. The Intrada release presented the score in film order. To that, we decided to include the original LP sequencing, which was done by Mr. Barry, because it’s a whole different listening experience. We have done our own remastering for this release.

This release is limited to 1000 copies only. The price of the CD is $19.98, plus shipping. Additionally, we are offering a special deal with the purchase of this release. Go to the item page and click on the link to find out about it.

CD will ship the second week of May – however, preorders placed directly through Kritzerland usually ship one to five weeks earlier (we’ve been averaging four weeks early). To place an order, see the cover, or hear audio samples, just visit www.kritzerland.com.

CAMELOT Original London Cast Recording
Book and Lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner Music by Frederick Loewe

Adapted from T.H. White’s The Once And Future King, Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe’s Camelot was one of the most highly anticipated shows imaginable. After all, their previous show had been one of the biggest Broadway success stories in history – the huge smash hit My Fair Lady. And they’d had the big success of Gigi on the screen. Add to that a stunning cast of Richard Burton, Julie Andrews, Roddy McDowell, and Robert Goulet making his Broadway debut. Then Moss Hart as director, Oliver Smith for sets, costumes by Adrian (who died before the show went into rehearsals) and Tony Duquette, and with an advance sale that was the largest in musical theatre history, well, what could possibly go wrong? As it turned out, the road was rocky to Camelot, but despite the travails on the road to Broadway, the show had a healthy 873 performance run, and had several tours, several revivals, a film version, and lots of other productions since.

The show won four Tony Awards, the original Broadway cast album spent sixty weeks at the top of the Billboard chart, and the score spawned several standards. And, in 1964, the show made its London debut. Opening at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane on August 19th, producer Jack Hylton’s production of Camelot sported a stellar cast, including film star Laurence Harvey as Arthur, Elizabeth Larner as Guenevere) and Barry Kent as Lancelot. Critic Harold Hobson said of Harvey’s Arthur, “I count this performance as amongst the big theatrical experiences of my life.” The production was directed and choreographed by Robert Helpmann, with scenery and costumes by John Truscott and lighting by Richard Pilbrow. The show ran 518 performances.

What becomes clear in every revival or presentation of the show is that the score by Lerner and Loewe is one of the most glorious in all musical theater. Whatever deficiencies the book may or may not have, the score just overpowers them.

The London cast album is a treasure. It feels quite different than its Broadway counterpart and includes “The Jousts” that wasn’t on the original Broadway cast album. Harvey is a great King Arthur, and Larner is a wonderful Guenevere. Their performances are reason enough to cherish the London recording, but the whole thing has a vibrancy and sheen that is terrific, and that score – one great song after another – I think it’s safe use the old saw that they don’t write ‘em like this anymore.

The CD was mastered from the original tapes from the EMI vaults in the UK.

This release is limited to 1000 copies only. The price of the CD is $19.98, plus shipping. Additionally, we are offering a special deal with the purchase of this release. Go to the item page and click on the link to find out about it.

CD will ship the second week of May – however, preorders placed directly through Kritzerland usually ship one to five weeks earlier (we’ve been averaging four weeks early). To place an order, see the cover, or hear audio samples, just visit www.kritzerland.com.

After tomorrow's service, I'm going to visit my sister and do some wedding stuff with Mary Linda and her Mom. We left my car with our senior warden in Lima, who promised to take good care of it. Since we're a one-car couple today and Fr. Richard has responsibilities in Cincinnati this afternoon, I have to get out and about soon to get my errands done. This afternoon I'll do laundry and pack.

Post by: elmore3003 on April 23, 2011, 06:25:42 AM: Good morning, all! I must apologize to all you DRs for my terrible mood yesterday. It was a real meltdown and I am not happy about it.

CAMELOT! I've been hoping for this CD for years. When I was a grad student, I discovered Gramophone Magazine in the Miami U Music Library and, when I found reviews for London cast recordings, I began compliling a list of titles and their numbers. I sent Blackwells in Oxford a huge order and several months later an enormous carton arrived with a lot of of LPs. There were several I'd ordered that were no longer available - WHERE'S CHARLEY? and CARNIVAL are the two I remember - but the prizes were OLIVER!, which was fun to hear because of "That's Your Funeral," and CAMELOT.

I've always loved the recording, and I'm very happy it's back in print. The photos of the production are beautiful, and different from the Broadway desgns of Oliver Smith. The designer for the London production designed the Josh Logan film. It was he who had the idea to design the show around the seasons, beginning the musical in a winter setting and ending it in autumn.

I must ask you, BK, to hold me a copy, please, until my invoice payment arrives on Monday (hopefully!) and I can pay for it.

Post by: Danise on April 23, 2011, 06:55:14 AM: Hi all! I hope everyone is having a nice Holiday weekend. I wish I had a lot to tell you about but I'm fresh out except that work is Hell and I don't think anyone wants to hear me gripe about it.

I took Toby to the vet. It's hard to believe it's been a year already since I got him. The poor little boy was so upset that I had to sit and comfort him when we got home. I guess it's kinda like a UFO abduction. Can you imagine what it is like for them to be taken from their happy home, have your butt probed, stung with 3 or more needles, strange hands going all over your body and ears and have someone you don't know open your mouth and look at your teeth? All the while your "mommy" stands by and lets it happen along with saying "Be a good dog?" It must be a real nightmare for them.

There is one vendor, a farmer who is originally from the UK, and who is quite dashing. I always buy something from him, whether I need it or not....that is, when I can push my way through the throngs of middle-aged housewives who are drooling over his produce.

My only real memory of "Apocalypse Now" is from when I watched it in high school during my AP English class. We were reading Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness", so...

Besides the torching of the whole set, the only thing that sticks in my mind is looking over at my teacher - a nun - just sitting quietly at her desk with her eyes half-closed the whole time - especially during all of the cursing. -She adopted the same stance while we watched Zeffirelli's "Romeo and Juliet". ::)

Given the intense state of DR MBarnum's erotomania, I never doubted it was a euphemism. I was more concerned about his useless spending on merchandise merely to ogle.

Anyhow when she got home she went upstairs to find the kids in her bed with all the plastic easter eggs she'd prepared for easter lying opened with all the chocolates all over the bed.

They were the big plastic eggs that you put little chocolates in.

Surprisingly they weren't eating them, just emptying all the plastic eggs.

When she asked the older child how this happened she said, "well Jadie saw them in your closet..." :)

Not sure who went to get them or what happened next. But i thought this was the funniest thing i'd heard in a while.

My only real memory of "Apocalypse Now" is from when I watched it in high school during my AP English class. We were reading Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness", so...

Besides the torching of the whole set, the only thing that sticks in my mind is looking over at my teacher - a nun - just sitting quietly at her desk with her eyes half-closed the whole time - especially during all of the cursing. -She adopted the same stance while we watched Zeffirelli's "Romeo and Juliet". ::)

There was cursing in Romeo and Julliet?

Post by: Michael on April 23, 2011, 01:42:26 PM: A bit of Laurence Harvey trivia regarding Camelot. He audition for the Broadway version and told his singing voice wasn't up to par. They suggested he take some singing lessons and come back audition again. He did and when he was turned down for the Broadway version he sent Lerner and Loewe the invoice for his singing lessons. When he was hired for the London production Lerner and Loewe had the cost of the invoice for his lessons deducted from his first salary check.

I've been putting this off for oh, about 2-3 years. Some crazy person who lived here in the past wall papered the ceiling, so there was a lot of scrubbing over my head. It was very tiring, but it's donw. I don't like to let a 4 day weekend go by without doing a major project. Now it's done with two days to go. It actually looks fairly decent as it is. It needs a coat of paint, but looks better than it did. So, I'll take my time to figure out what I want to do.

I took Toby to the vet. It's hard to believe it's been a year already since I got him. The poor little boy was so upset that I had to sit and comfort him when we got home. I guess it's kinda like a UFO abduction. Can you imagine what it is like for them to be taken from their happy home, have your butt probed, stung with 3 or more needles, strange hands going all over your body and ears and have someone you don't know open your mouth and look at your teeth? All the while your "mommy" stands by and lets it happen along with saying "Be a good dog?" It must be a real nightmare for them.

Across the street, vendors are setting up for Saturday market and I might mosey on over later.

There is one vendor, a farmer who is originally from the UK, and who is quite dashing. I always buy something from him, whether I need it or not....that is, when I can push my way through the throngs of middle-aged housewives who are drooling over his produce.

The ice cream I'm eating has more vanilla in it than what it pictured, still it is extremely yummy. :)

Speaking of ice cream, the store were I purchased my Magnums has changed the sign so that it no longer says they are Godiva Magnum Ice Cream Bars. My apologies for the confusion.

My sister told me the funniest story today (well I thought it was funny, she didn't).

She left my nieces (almost 2 and 5 1/2) with their father. Apparently he left them watching tv in my sister's bed (they are not supposed to be there alone).

Anyhow when she got home she went upstairs to find the kids in her bed with all the plastic easter eggs she'd prepared for easter lying opened with all the chocolates all over the bed.

They were the big plastic eggs that you put little chocolates in.

Surprisingly they weren't eating them, just emptying all the plastic eggs.

When she asked the older child how this happened she said, "well Jadie saw them in your closet..." :)

Not sure who went to get them or what happened next. But i thought this was the funniest thing i'd heard in a while.

I decided to investigate further. So i asked my older niece exactly what had happened. She said that her sister and seen the eggs in the closet. So she got off the bed and went to get them. Then my older niece had to lift the younger one back on the bed.

I asked her why they didn't eat any of the chocolates and she replied, "cause we're not allowed to eat chocolates without permission!" :)

I guess she didn't realize that they weren't allowed to sneak in their parents closet and dismantle all the easter stuff! ;)

(my sis had to tell her that the easter bunny had dropped all the stuff off early).

At about 2:30, the phone rang, but stopped ringing by the time i grabbed the phone. Ten minutes later the phone rang again, but then stopped a second time before I could pick up. After the second phone call, I had trouble getting back to sleep becasue I was wondering if the call was meant for me or not.

Hi all! I hope everyone is having a nice Holiday weekend. I wish I had a lot to tell you about but I'm fresh out except that work is Hell and I don't think anyone wants to hear me gripe about it.

I took Toby to the vet. It's hard to believe it's been a year already since I got him. The poor little boy was so upset that I had to sit and comfort him when we got home. I guess it's kinda like a UFO abduction. Can you imagine what it is like for them to be taken from their happy home, have your butt probed, stung with 3 or more needles, strange hands going all over your body and ears and have someone you don't know open your mouth and look at your teeth? All the while your "mommy" stands by and lets it happen along with saying "Be a good dog?" It must be a real nightmare for them.

My mother never stood by during my alien abductions!

Were there any probing questions?

;D

Good night, DR TCB!

Well, today's somewhat gray and drizzly day turned into quite a lovely evening. Alas, it feels like a Fall evening, but it's still lovely. Just perfect for a long post-dinner walk.

Great name for a hamster. Rocky was my dog. And did have a grandmother named Cunegonde.

(http://www.movieposter.com/posters/archive/main/34/b70-17033)

It was great fun, and had a wonderful cast of Dennis Morgan (swoon!), Virginia Mayo, Gene Nelson (swoon), Lucille Norman, and even Tom Conway was looking good!

Trying to decide if I should burn a copy to DVD or not.

Post by: George on April 24, 2011, 03:53:43 AM: Well...I don't think that TAO will be doing a midnight show again, anytime soon. ::)

Our 8:00 show went well with a very good audience and good performances. The midnight show was interestingly different. They were the most vocal of all our audiences. Probably because they actually had alcohol available at concessions and some in the audience did partake...as did several in the cast and band! It was like The Rocky Horror Picture Show gone crazy. A few people in the audience were interacting and by the end of the show, it was just a bit too much.
Title: Re: SEQUENCING
Post by: George on April 24, 2011, 04:00:37 AM: The audience loved it all and it actually was a fun show, but it ended up being just too much yelling by a few people who didn't have a clew that we actually were putting on a show and we had a story to tell. Fortunately, the leads who had the most "interaction," were seasoned actors who could handle it and "interact" back. :D
Title: Re: SEQUENCING
