It's not Gretchen Cryer

"If you have the Gretchen Cryer vinyl and love it, don't buy this. You will be disappointed. Lacks the energy and richness that Cryer's voice has. 'Dear Tom' is not a song that should be sung at the top of one's lungs. And, 'Strong Woman Number' should have at least a little defiance."
Quite a Disappointment

"I bought this item after searching for quite some time to find a copy of the original off-Broadway cast album. While anticipating that this version would differ from the album I really wanted, I was rather dismayed to find that it is in all respects quite inferior. In my mind, the main problem lies with the choice of Diane Langton for the female lead. Her voice, while pleasant enough, is a poor substitute for Gretchen Cryer's. Add to that some questionable directorial choices (the a capella version of "Lonely Lady") and you have a less-than-mediocre product."
I'm getting my act together and taking it on the road

"I spent my last 15 years looking for this tape and
finally located it. Unfortunately I was so disappointed.
The singers didn't have any of the emotional impact of
the original cast. Their voices weren't powerful and
they ruined the songs for me. Please try to bring
back the original recording with Gretchen Cryer. I saw
the performance at Circle in the Square in the 70's, and
to this day I still remember how powerful the play and
the songs were."
Where to locate the original
