Free Music Review: Underrated ANNIE recording
Hit: 5 Stars
This recording of Annie Get Your Gun has been my favorite recording of the show since day one. Maybe it's just because I'm such a Mary Martin junkie, but this one is tops. It was recorded several days before the show was performed live on NBC television back in 1957. The broadcast itself does exist in kinescope form and I understand this kinescope was released on tape years ago, now out of print. It is this recording of the broadcast (I should say studio recording, since this is not technically taken from the soundtrack, but who cares) that most people remain familiar with. On a side note, I would like to see some enterprising company restore this and put it out on DVD, as Image Entertainment is doing with the original Julie Andrews version of Cinderella, which is being released next month.
Mary Martin was not a newcomer to the role of Annie. She had been with the show in one of the original touring companies in 1947, and went on a sellout tour just prior to this television production. To her credit, Martin is one of the leading ladies still most identified with the role (Merman and Hutton, of course, are the others). As Frank Butler, we have the great John Raitt, who had been in the original cast of Carousel.
This recording is fairly complete as ANNIE recordings go. All of the important songs are here... the only ones missing are the two minor songs written for the secondary characters, "Who Do You Love I Hope" and "I'll Share It All With You." These were cut after the original production and in all subsequent productions and the 1950 movie version, but were put back into the score for the recent Bernadette Peters revival. Therefore we really do not miss them in this show.
ANNIE GET YOUR GUN has garnered many recorded versions over the years. Other major recordings of the show are Ethel Merman original (Decca), 1950 movie soundtrack, with both Hutton AND Garland recordings (Rhino), Ethel Merman revival (RCA), Bernadette Peters revival (Angel). McGlinn's complete recording on EMI is out of print, and Columbia's studio album with Doris Day and Robert Goulet from the early 60s has not appeared on CD as yet.
