Negative Positive
Title: A worthy successor to the great original.
Review: The recording of the revival cast of the musical 1776 is almost but not quite as good as the William Daniels-Rex Everhart original. I did appreciate the addition of some extra music and lyrics from the show (my first copy of the original cast album was on 8-track, which dates me pretty effectively!) although the "Time's Running Out" sequence is still sadly missing. Still, this recording is still well-worth getting for fans of the show and movie. My biggest reservation has nothing to do with the show or the recording, but is due to the fact that this is only the second CD I have ever run across that nowhere, either on the CD cover or in the liner notes, identifies the numbering of the musical selections (although they are numbered on the actual disc.) This means that if you want to listen to a particular track you either have to have a good memory or skip around the disc to locate it. A pointless flaw in an otherwise fine recording.
Is the review positive or negative?
