Promises, Promises
Our limited edition 2 CD set that included the first release of the original LP mix and a remixed version was a quick sellout. The reviews and comments about the pitch-corrected and newly mixed version have been amazing and people who hadn’t heard about the release until it was too late were not so happy that it was gone. Therefore, after consultation with the rights’ holders, Metro Goldwyn Mayer Music Inc., it was decided to allow a second edition 1000 copy run of just the remixed version. Here is the information about that version: The raison d’etre of this release was to present a second CD with a newly mixed version (from those original and great-sounding eight-track edited session masters) that, with today’s technology, could finally fix most of the issues that plagued the original cast album. As most know, cast albums were always recorded in one day (it’s still the same today, but there are a few shows that go to two and even three days), and the pressure was always on to get everything finished without going into overtime, and then to mix it quickly (frequently in a day or two) and have it in stores instantly. Compromises sometimes had to be made. And so, there have always been pitch issues with some of the vocals – they simply got it as good as they could get it and out it came. We went in, and, without compromising anything but the actual pitchiness, corrected the faulty pitches throughout. We were also able to take our time with the mix and you’ll hear things in the orchestration you’ve never heard, and even an occasional little vocal thing that was left off the original album (listen to “You’ll Think of Someone”). So, it’s a whole new listening experience, and one we’re especially happy to have been able to do. We’ve also put the tracks in their correct show order for the first time.
