JAY Records presents the US domestic release
of Marc Blitzstein's THE CRADLE WILL ROCK. Starring John Houseman
and the inimitable Patti LuPone this complete digital stereo
recording of Blitzstein's brilliant, satirical work will reinstate
the score to the modern public. Set in the fictitious 'Steeltown
USA', amid labour struggles of the time, the show set itself
up for a confrontation with the American administration during
the Communist 'witch-hunt'. Included as a bonus CD for a limited
period is an introduction by John Houseman which describes the
happenings of the time; a fascinating addition to this release
which makes it all the more collectable.
