Cats: Complete Original Broadway Cast Recording (1982 Original Broadway Cast)

Definately a must have for any Cats fan. I perfer this over the UK version my self. I got the UK version whne I actualy saw CATS in Jan 2008.
They sold the UK origional version at the shopping stands there. I loved that version instantly seeing how it was the only copy I had. I then got my hands on Cats: Complete Original Broadway Cast Recording (1982 Original Broadway Cast)version and found that I love it much more and better. There a few resons for this.
In case you havnt heard either I will try to explain them to you. The UK sings out the whole song including verses that are not sung during the actual play. No complaint there Where this 1 follows the play exactly. During Grizabellas first apearnce you get remark the cat song but it ends there. In this version you Get Remark and alos when they explain shes an outcast in the first song. The uk has this just before she sings her first part of Memory. In this version she does part of her remark song and then all musical for a few moments. If you saw the play and remember she was trying to dance to be welcomed. Then she starts he small part of memory.
During Gumby Cat Song. The UK version missing the quick little trumpet horn intro to the song. Where this version it is included. To me missing this dosnt sound right. Not hearing the trumpet dosnt fit to me. To me its part of the song. This version you do not hear the mid verse to the song. In the play I went to it wasnt sung there either.
A moment of Happines is sung alot slower on this version. Old Duteronemy takes his time and sings it well. During Jemimia part on this verion Her lines Moon light, Turn your self into the moon light, Let your memory lead you, Open your self and turn in, If you find the meaning of what happines is then an new life will begine line is sung just ounce.
On Mungo Gerry and Rumple teaser, Mr Mistofolesse sings it instead of the two actual dancers. To me it was a little disapeointing to me but it grew on me. I love how he adlibs the song out. He does an amazing job.
Mr Mistofolesse song Mr Mistofolesse actualy sings the second part where inthe uk version its Rum Tum Tugger sings the whole song. Sounds great and defiantely is interesting.
In memory this version you actualy hear Munkustrap give his line bout the heaviside lair. It is cut in the Uk version
Journey to the Heaviside lair.
This version is complete to me. Reason I say this Uk version sings the main line twice and thats it. On this version it goes on and follows the play better to me. It includes Up Up Up cross the Jellicle moon lines and then the devinity lines after words. Thats what I saw int he play so it to me is a ton better then the UK version.
Fo me it puts me back into my see that night seeing the play over again. Makes me have memories of where cats were on stage. What they were doing and when. To me it is the better version of both. |

| I have always loved the show "Cats" even though I never saw it on the live stage. This CD is high quality with the original Broadway cast. It's the next best thing to being there. |
