Four!

Hugh Martin is one of my favorites. Make a Wish is such a good score with a lousy book. High Spirits is a better show, but the songs, IMO, fail to achieve the heights of Make a Wish.

[John G.]

Sondheim is said to have worn out his first copy of Make a Wish.

I have no idea what ya'll are talking about. But I appreciate the friendly discussion.

DR John, I hope all is well with your sister and brother-in-law.

Good.

The rain is pounding on the home environment. Really hope we don't lose power. But I'm going to bed shortly anyway.

I hope you didn't lose power.

[Jane]

I guess you can add me to the list of the ailing since I have a sore throat and a bit of a runny nose that started last night.

Feel better vibes.

[Jane]

Off to JFK now, where it looks like my flight is delayed a couple hours but they want us there on time anyway.

SAFE TRAVEL VIBES!

[Jane]

CONGRATULATIONS, DR John G., on your lofty new perch in the HHW firmament!!!

Congratulations DR John!

LOL, I know the feeling.

Here’s a die-cut cover I kept because I found a copy still in shrink and it looks like it could’ve been printed yesterday. Laura, die-cut just means the covers had a cut out so you could see through to the gatefold or the inner sleeve. In this case all those circles are cut outs, the colorful parts are on the inner sleeve.

Note the other release of this record was a completely different die-cut on the Premier series which featured a lot of cool cover designs.

I used to love, as a kid, looking at the supermarket paperback horror novels that had cool cut-out effects.

[ChasSmith]

Oh right, there have been plenty of paperbacks with those covers.

And then there are the Rolling Stones' die-cut Some Girls album jackets.

And then there are the Rolling Stones' die-cut Some Girls album jackets.

For which they got in legal trouble from the likes of Lucille Ball and Liza Minnelli.

[ChasSmith]

Yep!

I have the original and the sanitized versions, and the Mobile Fidelity recreation.

There was a Readers Digest set of operettas that was particularly good which I believe I still have. DR Elmore knows about this one. If I'm remembering right, it was released outside of the U.S. with an additional disc which I only have digitally.

I have the entire Readers Digest set, including the two extra discs of four operettas, on mp3 files. There are some wonderful performances and the great Broadway conductor Lehman Engel does a fantastic job.
