That was the US release date, in case any of you weren’t aware, and give a damn. The UK date was the 28th Oct. And I’d been told that it wasn’t coming out in the UK! Filthy LIES I say!!!
It is absolutely fantastic. It has all of the music from the episode, even the incidental stuff with none of the dialogue over the top. Plus the bits mentioned by young Mr Geezer, above. The booklet is less ‘let’ and more ‘book’. With interesting stuff that can be read by those that can read. The best bit? Full listings of the lyrics. So even a complete muppet like myself could manage to maintain a small amount of credibility whilst singing along (yeah, ok. Blatant lie). My only excuse, we had been drinking for several hours. We thought our 5 part harmonies were tight… The neighbours didn’t agree.
The down side? You can’t get the bloody tunes out of your head!!! EVER!!!!
If you haven’t got it yet, but thought that the episode is what that Logie Baird bloke invented the box for, you will not be disappointed.
So waddya reckon? A plethora of school productions of it in the next year or two?
