BUY NOW FROM KRITZERLAND

Various Artists, Contemporary Broadway Revisited (Kritzerland)

Kritzerland has unveiled the latest in its series of reissues from producer-impresario Ben Bagley.  Contemporary Broadway Revisited has an all-star cast including Katharine Hepburn, Alan Arkin, Anthony Perkins, Margaret Whiting, Kaye Ballard, John Reardon, Fay DeWitt, and Helen Gallagher on songs by such Broadway tunesmiths as Jerry Herman, Kander and Ebb, and Bock and Harnick.  This remastered reissue is limited to 500 copies.  CDs will ship by the last week of October, but pre-orders typically arrive earlier when ordered directly from the label.  And that's not all from Kritzerland...

New York Profiles: The Music of Norman Dello Joio (Kritzerland)

Kritzerland celebrates Pulitzer Prize and Emmy Award-winning composer (and frequent Martha Graham associate) Norman Dello Joio with a new collection.  James Nelson has remastered these classic recordings in both mono and stereo. CDs will ship by the last week of October, but pre-orders typically arrive earlier when ordered directly from the label.

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Original Broadway Cast Recording, Kean: Deluxe Edition (Stage Door Records) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K.)

Kean, featuring a score by George Wright and Robert Forrest (Kismet) and a star turn from the legendary Alfred Drake, was far from a success upon its Broadway debut in 1961.  But while the Tony-nominated show closed in just 91 performances, the Columbia Records cast recording left behind a stirring score sung powerfully by Drake and company.  Now, Stage Door is giving that album a 2-CD deluxe edition including studio cast and composer demos, an album covering the score by Robert Mersey and His Orchestra, and other selected pop covers by Judy Garland, Mitch Miller, The Living Voices, and others.  This deluxe edition, made possible by current U.K. public domain laws, is limited to 500 copies.
