Of the eleven two-inch reels recorded at Abbey Road Studios in September and October 1986, eight survived intact and were remixed without enhancement; the material from the three reels lost since those sessions was restored from an unplayed vinyl pressing of the 1986 album. The vocal and orchestral performances are presented as they were captured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRunning across three discs rather than two, this edition reinstates sections of the score that were cut from the original release for running time. It also carries three recordings from Lloyd Webber's own archive that have not been issued before: a cassette demo of the title song from its earliest form as a proposed stand-alone single; \"Box Five\", the first draft of the opera managers' \"Notes\" scene, later reworked into \"Prima Donna\" after director Hal Prince rejected the original; and an early demo of \"Masquerade\" with Richard Stilgoe's original lyrics, recorded before the rewrite heard in the show today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1986 sessions captured the original West End cast of Michael Crawford, Sarah Brightman and Steve Barton, with Mike Reed conducting. The album that followed entered the UK chart at number one in February 1987, held the top position for three weeks and stayed on the chart for 140 weeks, and was the first musical cast recording to debut at number one in Britain. Lloyd Webber's own account puts worldwide sales above 40 million copies, with Platinum certification in six countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn returning to the tapes, Lloyd Webber said: \"One of the most poignant moments was hearing the late Steve Barton as Raoul.\" Of the recording itself he added that Sarah Brightman's voice \"has a trueness and clarity combined with vulnerability that I had forgotten.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three discs are housed in a trifold gatefold with printed inner sleeves, and the package includes a full libretto book, a letter from Andrew Lloyd Webber, and a collection of rare and previously unseen photography from the production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLP 1, Side A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrologue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHannibal Rehearsal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThink Of Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAngel Of Music\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Lotte \/ The Mirror (Angel Of Music)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLP 1, Side B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Phantom Of The Opera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Have Brought You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Music Of The Night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Remember \/ Stranger Than You Dreamt It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagical Lasso\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLP 2, Side A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrima Donna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIl Muto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy Have You Brought Me Here\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll I Ask Of You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll I Ask Of You - Reprise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEntr'acte \/ Six Months Later\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLP 2, Side B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMasquerade \/ Why So Silent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes \/ Twisted Every Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWishing You Were Somehow Here Again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWandering Child \/ Bravo, Monsieur\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLP 3, Side A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon Juan Triumphant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Point Of No Return\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDown Once More \/ Track Down This Murderer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHave You Gorged Yourself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLP 3, Side B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAndrew's Phantom Demo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBox Five\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMasquerade Original Demo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 820233752770\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Other Songs Recs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.6.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Other Songs Records","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":50523518632094,"sku":"EVP-E74939C4-NEW-NEW-NONE0000","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/POTOALW2026Mix-3LP1_bc80660f-670a-4bba-aa80-dc92aa94a17e.png?v=1793711231","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/andrew-lloyd-webber-the-phantom-of-the-opera-the-andrew-lloyd-webber-2026-mix","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
