I am thoroughly enjoying this site. I recently found a CD of 'La Cava' from England. I have an LP of an RCA LP which does not classify as Broadway but is quite rare-'Clownaround'. After you hear it, it is easy to understand why hardly any exist. Another rare LP I own is 'Sandhog' on the Vanguard label.

Glad to have another outlet to read your output, probably the most prolific and smartest of any theatre writer.
Hope that ALL of the catelogues will be available on CD for us oldtimers who may never be comfortable with downloads. .

Peter, you are the host with the most! So glad you'll be taking us on this journey. Please make sure and mention when there are extra cuts/alternate takes available. And do point out which label (and producer, if possible) did the original recording. To my ears, RCA Albums done at Webster Hall sound very different than Columbia albums done on 30th Street. But I'm sure glad they'll all be available for newer listeners.

Great news for those of us who fear the demise of cast albums because of profit/loss concerns. Some recordings to add to list: RCA's "Chocolate Soldier' with Rise Stevens, Robert Merrill & Peter Palmer; the Jones Beach recording of 'Song of Norway;' excellent studio recordings of 'The Merry Widow' with Lisa Della Casa & John Reardon and the Lincoln Center Cast Recording with Patrice Munsel, Bob Wright & Frank Porretta; 'The Student Prince' with Roberta Peters, Jan Peerce & Giorgio Tozzi; an obscure off-Broadway show 'Half-Past Wednesday,' the afore-mentioned 'Secret Life of Walter Mitty;' 'A Thurber Carnival,' TV Cast Recordings of 'Androcles and the Lion, 'Mr Broadway' & 'Alice Through the Looking Glass' (from RCA); 'Julie and Carol at Carnegie Hall' (Columbia); Jerry Herman's TV score for 'Mrs. Santa Claus' with Angela Lansbury; the Lincoln Center Cast recording of 'Kismet' with Alfred Drake & Anne Jeffreys . . . . the list goes on.

Where do I begin?
First, what timetable are we talking about? One month, 6 months, 5 years?
Second, there are many very obscure recordings that both Columbia and Victor have released in the past, that have yet to see the light of CD day, even by bootleggers. For example: Columbia in the 1960s recorded several legitimate plays and released them on disc: Dylan (1964), Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolff (1964). Will these be released as well.
Others: In White America (Off-Broadway); Blackbirds of 1928, etc. etc.
Can we find out now which titles are having release problems because of estate issues or lost contracts? (ex: Donnybrook!, yes I know this is not a Columbia/Victor release).

Delighted to have the great Peter Filichia where he belongs!

"The Titanic news is that Masterworks Broadway will eventually be Movin’ Out to us all the titles ever recorded in the ol’ days by Columbia and RCA Victor (and even Arista). Yes, the day will come when, through CD or downloads, we’ll have access to every one of the musical theater albums Sony has in its vaults -- bar none ..."
Even THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY? We'll see. I just hope Sony realizes that die-hard collectors like me have no use for downloads.

Speaking as a fellow cast album junkie, I'm delighted by this site and the opportunity to read more of your thoughts about musicals.
