WINTER 2013 / SPRING 2014

Stage Door are thrilled to be releasing several London cast albums on CD throughout 2014! Early in 2013 we asked our Twitter followers what cast albums they most wanted to see reissued on CD and we were overwhelmed by the response. Your suggestions were both fascinating and wide ranging! Based on the results of the survey, we took steps to get in touch with various rights holders and are thrilled now to have several licenses in place for albums to be released across 2014.

Our first CD release of 2014 will be the London cast recording of the award winning 'PRIVATES ON PARADE' from 1978 which will be released on January 27th, 2014. This will be shortly followed by a much loved 1980s London musical and a rare 1980s concept album featuring a glittering cast of West End performers, all of which have never been available on CD. We're also thrilled that all these albums will be digitally remastered from their original master tapes!

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank our supporters who took the time to get in touch with suggestions for possible reissues. 2014 looks like it definitely will be the year of the cast recording! Be sure to follow us on Twitter (@stagedoorlondon) to be the first to hear about our forthcoming CD releases!
