Comments |
Good recording if a touch hissy and is said to be from a preview of the show, which probably means it is from the show's initial run at the Barbican theater, before it moved to the Palace. Clearly, this is the original version of the show, with the original cast including the full version of "Little People" (later cut) and other parts that would change. Recording is slightly quiet, and with quite a bit of background Hiss. This version is missing Michael Ball from the original cast. See: Original West End Cast - Les Miserables 1985 for the complete cast. |
