I think we should try and compile a list of all the recordings she appears on minus anthologies or compiliations whether they are still in print or not just so we can see how much she has actually recorded.
What are the four recordings from the sixties? I know she has talked about the "Wait, Johnny for Me" or whatever that was called.
Speaking of her official website, wasn't there a timeline like thing on there initially? And someone needs to correct the error on there saying that "she received her third Tony Award nomination" for Momma Rose since it was really her seventh nomination. Would and should have been her third win. At least the line about "Schubert" Alley has been removed.

Patti should actually lose one because she isn't on the Hey Mr. Producer recording. Actually Bernadette and Lisa Vroman were the only Americans featured on that. I wonder if LuPone was invited to participate or not. I remember an interview with Lisa Vroman saying that Bernadette came over to tell her what I beautiful voice she had and then discoverd that Vroman was from the U.S too and they had a little bonding moment being the only Americans. Except now that I think about it Sondheim was there and isn't Tom Lehrer American too? Oh well maybe they meant performers really performing.

Oh, thanks for posting those Karen, they should definitely be included. She had quite the recording career going there although I can't imagine what those sound like.
I think the real shame is the 15 year gap between Now Playing and I'll Be Your Baby Tonight. I remember reading in Show Music about her possibly recording an album of songs from Disney movies, I think Barbara Cook ended up doing an album like that. I know it took her along time to do the Baby CD. I swear I was at a concert of hers in 1992 where she talked about the album and I know I talked to Marvin Laird once about what was going to be on the recording and he said that they wanted to finish it before she went into the Goodbye Girl! And then in 1995 I was at another concert where she said that it would be coming out and it was another year still before it was released. Ah well, I'm grateful for what we do have so far.

I'm so confused. Then why is it listed on her site?
I'm not making this up:
Here.
I know about information literacy and not trusting the Net,but an official site...well,look at Bernadette's. But sheesh. I have the DVD,but I've never watched the entire thing. I don't like Oliver!,so I've never watched that section.
I really need to go to bed.

That's funny. It is indeed listed. Perhaps there's another recording with the same title or maybe she thinks she should have been on that, after all she was the original Fantine.

Damn we're good.
Thanks everyone, we now have a very complete discography. Are we becoming the Bernadette site of record?

There was an earlier recording entitled "Hey, Mr. Producer: the musical world of Cameron Mackintosh," issued in 1990 on First Night Records. I have it on two cassettes. It's an anthology of songs from all the shows he produced, going back to the sixties. Patti LuPone is there singing "As Long As He Needs Me" from the 1977 London production of "Oliver." It also has Bernadette's "Capped Teeth and Caesar Salad." That must be the one listed on LuPone's site.

Karen-
Thanks for that. I'll keep it-is it a compilation CD? You have a fantastic memory-is this even available on CD?
(Are you sure she was in the 1977 West End revival? She was definitely in the 1984 Broadway revival,which didn't last three weeks. I always thought her first West End role was in Les Miserables...)
Thank you,everyone, for your help. Thank you,thank you,thank you!
Karen-sorry! I didn't know you were responding to my post at the same time I edited. However,I can't really remember what I wrote.

It was released in the UK on both cassette and CD; don't think it was released in the US. It's sort of a hybrid because it contains some tracks that are just reissues of songs from cast albums, such as Bernadette's from "Song and Dance," and some that were specially recorded for this album, like Patti's from "Oliver." There's a note saying that the newly recorded tracks were done at CTS Studios in London in 1990.
No, Lupone was not in Mackintosh's West End production, which ran from 1977-1980, only in his Broadway remounting which flopped in 1984. I was posting too quickly last night and copied the wrong date.
The accompanying booklet has a discussion between Sheridan Morley and Mackintosh. Here's what he says about Lupone: "She was a remarkable Nancy, undaunted by the cockney accent: we had to put the show on in a very short time into too large a Broadway theatre and so we had no chance to build up any advance bookings and despite generally excellent notices, a terrible notice from the New York Times killed any chance of survival. I shall never forget how strong Patti was as Nancy and it was that performance that led me to cast her as Fantine in the original London cast of "Les Miserables."
Here's what he had to say about Bernadette: "Working with her was one of the happiest times of my life: she's just everything a great star should be."

Here's what Bernadette had to say about the state of the recording business (from the Rocky Mountain News, April 5, 1997, written by Marilyn Beck):
"The CD 'Sondheim, Etc.: Bernadette Peters Live at Carnegie Hall' has taken off
like gangbusters - and the Tony-winning actress-singer couldn't be more delighted or relieved about it.
''It's only been out two weeks and the stores are already restocking,'' she
reports. ''The Virgin megastore in New York sold out in the first week. You do your best and see what happens. I feel very blessed.''
Peters' first concert CD, which will benefit the Gay Men's Health Crisis, comes
in the wake of her 'I'll Be Your Baby Tonight' recording of last summer. Before that, it had been 14 years since the last recording gig.
''The recording industry was changing. Record companies wanted to do things that sold to kids,'' she says. ''They asked me to do disco and I didn't want to do disco, or they wanted me to do '40s or '50s stuff. I didn't want to do something
just because it fit into someone's niche of what they expected of me. Then, in
the late '80s, someone from Angel / EMI saw me singing at a benefit and approached me about making an album - the kind of album I wanted to do. We started a recording, the producer left, I went off to do a Broadway show, and it ended up taking a long time to get going. But it was worth the wait.''
(On a minor note, another American at the Hey, Mr. Producer! concert was Ellen Greene.)
