Another vote for CHICAGO. Its the best version available.

Ugh I can't stand the Into The Woods London Recording. The Broadway one is just so much better, in my opinion. I do really like Les Mis OLC, and there are differences on it, like the ending of Stars and Gavroche's song, etc.

Another vote for the 2006 SITPWG, I absolutely love it. The new Evita is nice, as the orginal London Concept Evita.

I dissagree with whoever said A Little Night Music- the London one is awful! The OBC if your best bet there. Also stay away from the London Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well ect.

I guess I'm not as bad off as I thought. I have most of these.

I really love Dana Rowe and John Dempsey, so The Fixx and Witches of Eastwick are musts...both very good scores.

Metropolis
Moby Dick

and...if ANYONE knows where I might find Promises, Promises w/ Buckley...well...marriage is not out of the question!

If you want the only full version of the stage version of Wizard of Oz, the OLC is it.

Mr Roxy you get a gold star for mentioning CHARLIE GIRL! (Providing it is the Anna Neagle/Joe Brown version not the Cyd Charisse/Dora Bryan).

The Mermaid Theatre cast recording of COLE (Porter) is good and the London TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA (highlights) is excellent.

Others are

Mr & Mrs
Pickwick
Andy Capp
There Are Love Songs
Mutiny - For sheer Chutzpah

A few good songs on Copacabana- Just Arrived- the opening number is terrific.

The UK of Promises Promises is excellent though I think its rarity has made people thinka bit too highly of it--the music cues arecorded are exactly the same as the Broadway with nearly the same exact tempi an the actual performances very similar.

Doodle feel free to pm me though and I may be able to help you out

I know most people on this Board would disagree with me but I would recommend the London cast recording of FOLLIES. The London FOLLIES is the only production of the show that I have seen, in 1987 I believe, and I loved it.
