Footlight Records - Ordered 02/25/99 - Received 03/23/99 Note that Footlight sold me this album at $11.95 while the box is cut as if it were a deleted item. Not so much fair I think. I think it should have been mentioned the state of the box. The booklet (4 pages) contains 3 medium B&W pictures of Michael Ball and Janet Mooney (I suppose), and a synopsis. This is a nice recording. I appreciate the music, and the singers are good (even if I'm a little bored of Michael Ball's "always sounding the same" voice, the songs he performs fit him very well). There are some parts a little flat but the whole recording is quite coherent. A funny detail, the beginning of Zero Hour reminds me The King And I a lot.
