I realize it's been only six weeks, but so far - other than MP3 downloads, and need I repeat what many of us think about donwloads? - "Hallelujah, Baby!" is the only recording from the 77 RCA & Sony cast recordings no longer in circulation - or never released on CD. This does not include the 40 titles available from Arkiv Music nor the 20 DRG reissues, some of which overlap the ArkivCDs. If anyone wants a list, I'd be glad to send you a PDF file of the works in limbo.
