Andrew Lloyd Webber Jeeves Code of The Woosters

Here is "Code of the Woosters from the ill fated Andrew Lloyd Webber & Alan Ackbourn musical Jeeves. The show opened on the 22nd April 1975 and closed on the 24th May 1975 after only 38 performances. This track is taken from my copy of the original London cast LP.

What a treat to hear this rarity!

Another great track from the original production. So different in tone to the recent revivals - so relaxed, breezy.

Cheers Ben, keep 'em coming!

Lloyd Webber - get it out on CD!

@mattwinds I read somewhere that Lloyd Webber has banned this from ever being released on CD.

I've heard similar...but there's a chance he'll change his mind. I believe one reason for his reluctance is down to some recycling of the music into his other shows - but that's common place in musical theatre.

From the tracks I've heard, the original production of Jeeves had a great score and it deserves to be heard in its original form. It sounds very different IMO to the 90's revivals, Thankfully with uploads like this we can all appreciate it!
