Miss Saigon (Original London Cast Recording)

Nov 12, '07 9:38 PM
for everyone

Miss Saigon by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg is probably the one musical that I regret I never got to watch. When it was first brought here to the Philippines the ticket prices were too pricey for me. I hope that if this musical is ever restaged I will finally get my chance.

I like most of the songs but I would say my favorites are Sun and Moon and Dju Vui Vai. Thank you, Kasuy, for lending me your soundtrack and allowing me to rip it.

For your pleasure, here is a clip taken from Miss Saigon.

I do believe I said so in the title, didn't I? What do you think?

My mistake.Haven't made that clear.There was an original London cast release but its not the one with Lea nor Pryce.My copy is a double cassete that I haven't played in years.

As far as I know there is only one ORIGINAL LONDON CAST RECORDING but there are several recordings of Miss Saigon by the cast. The only other version I know of is the Stuttgart recording, but there are surely more out there. Possibly even a broadway cast recording. It is even possible that in one of the recordings Monique sang the Kim parts.

I'm holding the double CD version in my hand. Trust me, this is the Lea-Jonathan version. Besides, Lea's voice is actually pretty distinctive. You can't miss it.

Is there an easier way to download all in one go?
Or do I really have to do it song by song?

Seems they must have disabled the "download entire playlist thingy". I know we used to have it.

Well, what I do is I click on "Play entire list" then when windows media player opens and shows the list I click on a song and "save as". Still song by song, but easier.

Oh there you go. Now it works!

Thank you!
I have the OST, but I havent gotten around to burning it. This saves me the effort. Thanks!

BTW, would you know where one can find a DVD of the performance itself? I have THE HEAT IS ON making of Miss Saigon, but I was wondering if there was a DVD of the actual performance already. :-(
