3LP (30th anniversary edition) 3LP

This is the first-ever vinyl pressing of Rent’s original Broadway cast recording, marking the musical’s 30th anniversary. It’s a 3LP set newly mastered by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound, put together with the Jonathan Larson estate and members of the original cast and creative team. The packaging pulls from Larson’s archives at the Library of Congress and the New York Public Library, including his handwritten lyrics, and a 24-page booklet carries a nearly 20,000-word oral history by theater historian Jennifer Ashley Tepper, built from 19 new interviews.
