The Phantom of the Opera (Original 1986 London Cast)
: essential recording:What's left to be said about Andrew Lloyd Webber's adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera a decade after its premiere? That it's maddeningly ubiquitous? A stitch-up of various themes shoplifted from the Italian operatic repertoire? A critic-proof crowd pleaser that's probably being staged somewhere in the world as you read this? A megahit that will likely outlive Titanic in the pop-culture pantheon, Phantom has largely redefined--for better or ...

The Remains of Tom Lehrer
: :This three-CD set collects many of Tom Lehrer's tunes, described by Time magazine as 'brilliant and coruscating parodies,' bringing back a bygone era when the 'liberal consensus,' as Lehrer calls them, knew who they were and could, therefore, laugh at both themselves and the well-defined enemy. Delivering clever, witty rhymes about topical subjects was Leher's strength. In 'Wernher Von Braun' [the Nazi German scientist who later worked for NASA], Lerher sings: ...

Have A Nice Decade: The '70s Pop Culture Box
from: Rhino / Wea
: :When this material originally resurfaced in an earlier Rhino-celebrates-the-'70s program, many rock scribes contorted themselves into revisionist pretzels: this isn't so bad, they argued--none too convincingly. There'll be none of that here: much of the music on this colossal box set is godawful. The world doesn't miss the likes of Sammy ('Chevy Van') Johns and Sammy ('Candy Man') Davis. Or at least it doesn't miss the records they cut during the ...

Hairspray (2-Disc Collector's Edition Soundtrack)
from: New Line Records
: :Enhanced Cd Includes Video Karaoke, 'Run And Tell That' Video Documentary And 'Zac Efron Becomes Link Larkin' Video Documentary. :What fun! This soundtrack of the film adaptation of the Broadway musical overflows with glossy, ol' fashioned '60s-style pep. It won't win any awards for innovation, but it may well be one of the most feel-good releases of the year. While not quite as super-energetic as the original Broadway cast, the ...
