Actually the first recording with Rivera, Carver, Crivello, Louise, Carnahan, and others was the London cast recording, but was called simply ORIGINAL CAST RECORDING. It was recorded in London in Oct., 1992. The label was RCA Victor.

The 2nd recording was made in New York in Dec., 1994 with the revival cast including Williams, McGillin, Mitchell, Turque, Carnahan, and others. It was called NEW BROADWAY CAST RECORDING. The label was Mercury.

Two completely different recordings.

This is not the question. Chita was allowed to make a cast recording before Williams was. Beanie was not. This is an entirely different situation. As if the Mary Martin recording of Dolly was the first one, and there was never a Carol Channing recording.

Huh? Please re-read Zelgo's post. I was responding to this statement: "I think only Spider Woman's vocals were replaced, but everything else remained the same."

Zelgo has already acknowledged that this statement was incorrect.

Sorry. I wasn't reading the thread in order.

I actually spoke to the number of transpositions made on the 2nd recording, so yes, it was all newly recorded. Also, the Broadway orchestra is tighter (and the trumpet section has a better time with the "Where You Are" dance break).

No problem. I tried to be as careful as possible with my wording, but despite several edits I still mistyped "revival" instead of "replacement".

Regarding the various Blood Brothers recordings, there was never an OBC album, but three of the replacement leads -- Petula Clark, David Cassidy, and Shaun Cassidy -- made a comprehensive album of the score in 1995 some time after leaving the show. It was called "The International Recording."

Ironically also in 1995 three of the original Broadway leads -- Stephanie Lawrence, Warwick Evans, and Mark Hutchinson -- while apparently in a London revival of the show, made another cast recording of the score under the First Night label. It was called simply "London Cast."

Should Read: "replacement cast" and not "revival cast" (nmi)

Thanks for the correction.

Maybe it was the Brooke Shield's Wonderful Town where they just replaced the existing vocals with hers.

Anyone recall?

I think you're thinking of the Brooke Shields Grease! recording.

I don't know about Wonderful Town, though I think, at the very least, Jennifer Hope Wills also recorded her Eileen along with Shields's Ruth. But when they released "the Newest Broadway Cast Recording" of the Weisslers' Grease!, they just dubbed in Shields over Rosie O'Donnell.

Yes, the second Wonderful Town cast recording was released with Brooke Shields and Jennifer Hope Wills.
