A couple of us at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) started the Castrecord Email group a couple in around 1995. There had been a previous group that really specialized in all aspects of musical theatre--with more than a bit of information about cast recordings. It went the way of a lot of those earlier groups in that it got to be a chatline for a group of people who think that the first musical ever produced was Cats--and that Phantom is the epitomy of great theatre.

There seemed to be a strong interest in a group that would concentrate on theatre recordings--mostly musicals, of course, and we now have several hundred subscribers.
