ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Butterboy! (^‿^)
Early days of dressing up and dancing in the theatre aisles to this. When I heard that this was gonna finally become available on DVD, I jumped on it (as well as updated t-shirts and other things the label provided with this re-release). Nice to have the extended audio version (The original LP was too short). Thank for the reminder!
