Posted: 7/22/14 at 11:13amI actually prefer the more complete 2001 Broadway revival recording.

Posted: 7/22/14 at 11:13amThe 2001 Broadway recording is truly remarkable.

Posted: 7/22/14 at 12:35pmMy vote is for the revival recording too. Having seen both productions, I still grab the 2001 CD when I want to hear the score. Though it is nice hearing Orbach and Grimes on the original, I'd still opt for the most recent recording.

Australian, if you can find it. It reflects the original version of the show, but is a better recording than the OBCR or the revival recording.
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Posted: 7/22/14 at 1:51pmI'll give the lone vote for the OBC. It's not complete, but the sound is amazing and the cast is great.
