Amazon.com - Ordered 04/08/99 - Shipped 04/14/99 - Received 04/24/99 This recording also contains 7 songs from premiere recordings of Wright And Forrest songs written for Grand Hotel, At The Grand, Betting On Bertie, Kean. It is also know as The Anastasia Affair. The booklet contains 4 small B&W pictures of singers and authors performing, 16 small B&W identity pictures of the performers and one medium color picture of a big part of the cast and the authors. It also contains a 5 pages text by Walter Willison about the show, the authors, the story, and a 3 pages synopsis. There are also 3 pages of notes about the premiere recordings of songs included in this recording. Len Cariou (a singer I respect a lot) not at his place sometimes, his low voice not being singing enough at times.
