  • An Interesting Show

    I know alot about this show and it is truly a musical thats underrated. I think the Orginial Broadway production in 1982 from clips i found was such an uninspired mess, but the album truly got what was good about it; the songs. This restored version is indeed better than the original CD release. I can say that i am happy with the revisions the book got. But this album gives you the wonderful goods.

  • Love it!

  • Sondheim At His Artistic Peak

    This album, produced the day after "Merrily" closed on Broadway, is pure gold. As far as character and emotion, this original cast recording proudly stands out among the rest, aided by a talented young cast, Jonathan Tunick's lush orchestrations, and Paul Gemignani's expert musical direction.

  • Absolutely Wonderful

    This is a must buy for every musical lover. All of the songs are quite good, but my favorites are Opening Doors, Our Time, Bobby and Jackie and Jack, and Franklin Shepard Inc. This is definitely worth the ten bucks!

    Sondheim has got to quit impressing me. I'm becoming too optimistic about broadway's possibilities. This is definitely a great piece of Sondheim history. It's a perfect blend of his upbringing (epic choirs and waltzy Hammerstein-esque songs) and his own odd genius (that Sondheim way of sing-speaking with the music). Amazing. Truly Amazing. I suggest buying the whole album; there's enough genius on here to be worth double what itunes is charging.

  • The Definitive Merrily Is Here

    This is the one to have, hands down. The remastered CD sounds marginally better than the original CD issue, but for this recording I'd pay to hear it on wax cylinders. The original show was a flop, but it produced one of the best cast albums ever, with many songs that are now standards (Old Friends, Not A Day Goes By, Good Thing Going...)

  • CLASSIC GOES MP3

    I remember when this CLASSIC definitive version came out on half speed master vinyl from RCA. The quality of the recording was superlative. Great frequency response, clarity and fullness. Then I believe the original CD came out in 1986. That was the dawn of a new era in recorded music. No more scratches or surface noise. But what we also got was copressed, mechanical, stiff, lifeless sound, with very low volume. I was excited that the now SONY BMG would be remastering this CD. I couldn't wait for the CD so I downloaded the new remastered version from i-tunes. Big Mistake. Sondheim is not to be heard at 128 kbps. It sounds terrible--I can't listen to it anymore. I have to get it out of my ipod. I'll wait for the CD. Then I will send it over using Apple lossless.
