Library's rating

Library's review

A delight from one end to the other. And amazingly, the second disc with Menken and Ashman's demos are (sound quality aside) almost as good as the actual soundtrack (which never happens with demos), thanks in no small part to Ashman's giving it all in every vocal performance.
