| Global Musicals 2008-08-05 20:26:53 | As with several areas of the website, we suffer from non-standard definitions here. Some use compilation as a new release of tracks form prior recordings. (Like most of what passes for a film soundtrack CD these days.) Others consider compilation a grouping of tracks from different shows released under a single theme (composer, overtures, etc.)
The other common instance of this is promo-demo-sampler. My definitions are: Demo - Previously unrecorded / unreleased tracks of a new work prior to production and a post-premier cast recording. Promo - Either music previously recorded but re-edited (as in a medley) or alternate takes from a cast or studio recording. Sampler - A subset of tracks from a full cast recording issued to either sell tickets or CDs. The tracks are identical to their counterparts on the full cast recording, but in different packaging. I wish Matt would form a task force of interested and informed site users to help work on some of these things. (I also wish there was a more general discussion / blog area so that a conversation like this is not just filed under this particular recording.) I wish....more than anything! |
