 | Anything Goes (1988 Studio Cast) - Cole Porter by Cole Porter
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $1.40 The ONLY recording to try to preserve the 1934 version of the score. Though the casting is a bit erratic, the original orchestrations are precisely played.
|
 | Anything Goes - The New Broadway Cast Recording by Cole Porter
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $2.50 The sparkling 1987 Tony-winning revival uses more of the original score than the 1962 edition, but still adds extra Porter songs. Patti LuPone makes a great Reno.
|
 | Anything Goes (1989 London Cast) by Cole Porter
Buy new: $24.98 / Used from: $3.99 The content is nearly identical to the above and Howard McGillan plays Billy on both discs. Your choice will hinge on your preference for Patti LuPone on the former or Elaine Paige here.

 | Anything Goes by 1995 Studio Cast
Buy new: $18.98 / Used from: $12.64 Louise Gold has the proper Merman-type belt. These selections are from TER/JAY's forthcoming 2-CD set of the 1987 version.

 | Anything Goes-2003 London Revival by Original London Cast
John Barrowman as Billy is the main reason to get this CD. The rest of the cast is pretty good too but did we really need another recording of this1987 edition? Still the '87 is preferable to the '62
|
 | Anything Goes (1962 Off-Broadway Cast)
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $3.69 The 1962 off-Broadway revival rewrote the show to add 6 other Porter songs ( dropping 4 from the original score.) The album does sound like an smaller off-Broadway staging.
|
 | Anything Goes/The Bandwagon
Buy used from: $9.85 Six Selections from ANYTHING GOES sung by Mart Martin made up this 1950 10-inch LP that lacks theatricality. For many years this was the only recording of the score.
|
 | Anything Goes (1956 Film Soundtrack) by Cole Porter
Buy used from: $21.94 Hollywood filmed the show twice. Neither film is faithful. The 1956 film kept 5 songs from the show but wrote a new story. The 1936 film kept some of the original story but only 2 of the songs.
