Amazon.com - Ordered 12/07/98 - Shipped 12/16/98 - Received 12/26/98
The booklet contains some B&W very little photos
Now that I've discovered this cast recording I will never forget it! It is wonderful, mixing those fantastic ingredients that are a great score, skillful performers, and a good load of humor. For example, the Paradox song is a jewel.
02/11/99 - Incredible. I can't stop admiring Rex Smith's voice, for example in Oh, is there not one maiden breast, but also the performance of George Rose with his I am the very model of a modern major-general.Linda Ronstadt has a marvelous light voice. I know a girl in my singing class that has exactly the same, that's funny because it is a very original voice (IMHO, for sure!) and that I was wondering with what score could such a voice be used and now I know.
