The booklet contains color photos of the main singers, and a history of the show.
This cast recording has a strange sound, very clear, which I'm not very fond of and that's probably the very reason why I wanted to try another recording than the original soundtrack. But the singers and the music are very good. By the way the sound of the slashes is really laughable. It's a pity, I far more preferred this moment on the original soundtrack. I'm not sure this is the definitive JCS cast recording to have. I will probably try another one.
I've been listening again at it yesterday and I'm really falling in love with this incredible score, the incredible performer skills they require and the simpleness of all these feelings expressed in the songs. It's clear that this musical shortly follows Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, because the score is composed of songs of very different styles, and sound very seventies. But this doesn't prevent the performers to get rid of the 70's voice styles and to give us wonderful feelings.
