I still haven’t seen The Book Of Mormon, but I’ve listened to the soundtrack A LOT. If you’ve heard the music or been lucky enough to actually see the production, you know how brilliant it is. What’s even more brilliant is that they were clever enough to press the Original Broadway Cast Recording to vinyl, in a deluxe package as a 2LP with golden-colored discs; embossed album cover artwork; a full-color, LP-size booklet, including liner notes by Frank Rich and complete lyrics; never-before-seen production photos and set model illustrations; an exclusive set of removable stickers featuring characters from the show; and an MP3 download card for the full digital cast recording. For those of us who still haven’t seen it, this is pretty close (and much cheaper) than a flight and/or tickets. Obviously this package is limited, so haul ass down here to baptize yourself in gold. -MLE
