What To Do?
I just read that the producers of Grey Gardens are going to phase out the Off-Broadway Cast Recording (glad I nabbed it while I had the chance) and replacing it with a Broadway Cast Recording. This new recording will incorporate the new songs written for the Broadway production and have a new booklet. While it would be nice to have the "definitive" version, most Broadway CD's are not available at discounted online retailers and need to be purchased for full (ie inflated) price at Border's. It would be nice if they could also put out a sampler CD for $6.99 or so with only the new songs so that those of us who already shelled out almost $20 for the Off-Broadway CD could get just get the new songs on a disc and program our CD players for whichever version we prefer to hear. Given the slow rate at which the local librarys stock new CD's and the dearth of Broadway albums on most online music sites, I'm in a quandry as to what to do. I guess I'll have to see the show first and then decide if the new songs are worth having.
