4OUR!!

[George]

Well, a couple of weeks ago, I bought a recording of Bock and Harnick's Body Beautiful, the "Authors' Demos and "Cover" Recordings" (on Original Cast Records) from www.soundofmusic-shop.de.  It arrived today, but what I got was a plain CD-R with color-photocopied booklet and jewel case artwork.  That wouldn't be so bad if they had advertised it as such (and didn't charge so much).  But the worst part is is that the CD is only one track!  It's a single 1 hour, 19 minute and 59 second track!  WTF??  I sent an e-mail through the website asking about it, so I'll have to wait to see if I even get a response. 

Does anyone else have this CD?  Is it a burned CD-R like I got, or did you get a legitimate pressed CD with printed (not photocopied) artwork? 

, I say!

[George]

On the plus side of things that I received today (I can't believe that these all showed up on the same day), I got the London cast recording of Dames At Sea (this is a CD-R, but it's advertised as such, and the artwork is printed, not photocopied), the new Broadway cast recording of On the 20th Century, the DVD to the French production of Follies, and the Blu-ray to Les Parapluies de Cherbourg - Version Symphonique!

And that's the end of my birthday money.

[George]

So, did they officially change the name to "On the 20th Century," instead of "On the Twentieth Century"?  Or was someone just too lazy to type out "Twentieth" instead of "20th"?

I used to have the earlier OTTC with Imogene Coca, Madeline Kahn and John Cullum. I loved when the commercials for the Broadway run would run back in the late 1970s (I think).

Don't like that. The new cover doesn't have the class or suggest the era as well as the original art, IMO.

There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met... I've always liked that

[Cillaliz]

I was a little too old for Sesame Street. I did see it from time to time, especially when at friends' houses when their sisters or brothers were watching it.  I loved the Muppet Show.

This is my sister's favorite song from the movie, also.

Hello and welcome, DR bigbuck. Have you ever been back to Egypt to visit since you came to live in the U.S.?

[singdaw]

Too many wonderful clips here today! I am going to have to try to find time to watch at least some of them.  But that time isn't right now.     

[Cillaliz]

Hi DR Bigbuck!  Where do you live in Wisconsin?

[singdaw]

I have to be up at the crack of dawn tomorrow to pick up a co-worker and then drive an hour (plus) south of here for a healthcare enrollment event.

[singdaw]

In Owatonna.

[singdaw]

Owatonna isn't as fun to say as Okoboji.

I apologize for going into overdrive.

[singdaw]

Semi stream of consciousness.

[singdaw]

I apologize for going into overdrive.

Don't apologize - I think it's wonderful!

[Cillaliz]

Oh I've never been to Spain...but I've been to Owatonna....

[Cillaliz]

or something like that

Greetings from Wisconsin!

Welcome, DR bigbuck.

I have the York recording, not the older one. I really like a lot of songs in the score.

That original poster is one of my all-time favorites. And you're right, the new poster is just zany, not classy.

I did get the York recording a couple of weeks ago, that's why I got this CD of demos.  I really like that kind of thing, but I was surprised with the fact that I was sent what was essentially a bootleg copy...not that I haven't shared things like that myself but should they be sold like this?

Very nice set.

Thanks, John G.

And on that note (C#), it's time for me to leave work and head home.

Until later.
