I recently went to see the show staring Craig Chambers - he and the show were both brilliant!! - My son who is 6 and I have been trying to remember the songs, but without success - hence this purchase!! - Yes, I probably would of brought Lee Mead singing the songs, but as a child of the 80's,Jason Donovan works for me!! For us its about learning the words and dancing to the songs and bringing back the memories of the show - regardless of the cast!!

This is a reissue of the original 1991 Cast of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat starring Jason Donovan.
It has been digitally remastered with two new tracks from the 2007 Cast of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat by Lee Mead and Dean Collinson.
Even though I brought this CD in 1991 I have brought this version because it is a Special Edition and contains an updated booklet with new linear notes and pictures and a dedication to Steven Pimlott 1953-2007, a director in British Theatres, by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
This is a must buy for true fans of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat and Jason Donovan but also a taster for the new 2007 cast. In the future they may release the new cast recording but to me this will keep you going until then.

I saw the show at the weekend and bought this CD at the theatre. Yes, it is a reissue with two extra tracks, but they are hardly being discrete about it: it's written across the front of the CD.
I was pleased to be able to get this as the only copy I have of the 1991 version is on cassette, which is not much use these days. The 1991 cast were amazing (although I do think Lee was better than Jason) and this CD doesn't disappoint.
For those who are complaining, I'm afraid this is the way cast recordings are going these days. For example when a show opens here after having played on Broadway then it is rare to get a London Cast recording (see Wicked, Spamalot, and Avenue Q as recent examples). Given that the current production of Joseph is identical to the 1991 production (with the exception of a new song, which is one of the two bonus tracks on this reissue) right down to the staging, set, and costumes, then a new recording was obviously not thought worthwhile and/or fiancially viable.
Do buy this album, just be aware that it is a reissue and you will not be disappointed.

80's sound
The sound is very 80'sy, especially the lead women narrator. I would have preferred a more up to date sound. However, loved the CD as a whole - great songs.

Great music, great fun.
It has always puzzled me why the 'Any dream will do' song starts with the line,' I closed my eyes, drew back the curtains, to see for certain, what I thought I knew'. Read more
