Recordings & Videos Sale Preview

The annual R&V Sale is set for Feb. 18 & 19 at the Masonic Temple, and donations are flooding in. The best part for us at the station is listening to the great stuff that people are cleaning out of their collections. Records, CDs, DVDs, cassettes, we take it all.

This week's Matinee focuses on the records that are in the Soundtracks section of the sale. (Incidentally, I HATE my cast recordings being lumped in with movie recordings. Musical theater doesn't use a 'soundtrack,' it's live!)

Some of the CDs that are in this year's sale:
West Side Story: Original Broadway Cast recording
Paul Simon: Concept album of the Capeman
Bernadette Peters: Rodgers & Hammerstein, Baby Tonight, and Sondheim ETC
Audra McDonald: Way Back to Paradise and How Glory Goes

We also have a copy of "Song & Dance, The Musicals Of Broadway," a color book with three CDs, a kind of "best of" compilation (and quite a few famous jazz covers mixed in)

And if you have extra copies of something, or a showtunes CD that you're just not listening to anymore, please donate them to the sale. Come by the KPBX studios at 2319 N. Monroe St any business day.
