Amazon.com - Ordered 04/02/99 - Shipped 04/07/99 - Received 04/12/99 The booklet is a separated book included with the CD jewel case in a hard paper box. It is very nice, looking like old paper. It contains 3 pages of notes from John Guare, a 2 pages synopsis by Tina Landau, 5 small pictures of the show and 2 big pictures of caves... and the libretto. Recorded in March 1996 at The Hit Factory, New York, NY This recording has something special. At small doses it is very enjoyable. At bigger rates, it is a little boring, but after a number of listenings, I actually start to enjoy it. I don't think the vocal performances are particularly extraordinary to be mentioned. Just well fitting the country music inspired score. A good quality cast recording, quite a little too much country music to be one of my really favorites. It is also a very North-American story, maybe there's a cultural thing with it.
