So, I get e-mails from FootlightRecords.com (formerly an actual record store in NYC, now the website is owned and operated by the owner of Original Cast Records), and in the e-mail I got today, the London cast recording of 1776 is now available! It doesn't say it until you put it in a cart, but it's a CD-R...which is not a horrible thing for a 40 year old recording being released on CD for the first time. I wonder if they just got a record and burned that, or if they were able to get the original master tapes and burn CDs from those.
