Evening Primrose

Just a very quick note as I am trying to wrap up for the day and get out of here, but I think I mentioned awhile ago that I tracked down the Evening Primrose soundtrack online and ordered it direct from the label. It arrived yesterday and I've been listening to it repeatedly all day today and I just have to say how fabulous it is. The label did a terrific job transfering the soundtrack from the video onto CD. There's only a couple very short places where you can tell it's a recording of a recording, otherwise it's very pristine and very well done. Of course the music is fabulous and as much as I love Loesser, Sondheim's music is really much beter suited for Anthony Perkins' voice. Too bad he was never able to write anything for Vincent Price. I highly recommend that you track down a copy while they're still available: www.kritzerland.com There were only 3000 copies pressed and from whst I gather, there's only a few remaining.
