Unrelated: I am now, of course, a full-blown, no-turning-back JCM fan. I was late for work today because I had to sit on a bench and listen to a track from Hello, Again, a 1994 musical in which JCM played The Young Thing. Flat nasal midwestern accent and all. Very yummy. (He has a tryst on the Titanic. There's a great part wherein he screams, "The ship is sinking and you didn't even tell me, you son of a bitch!")

As for the recording itself, I listened to the first song and then skipped to the JCM parts, but I plan to give it a full listen tonight. The structure is interesting-- based on Arthur Schnitzler's La Ronde, about ten sexual encounters with each one linked by someone from the previous encounter until the original two meet again. Sounds like something I would have liked to see, had I not been 15 and ignorant of it when it premiered. Sigh. Anyway, the recording also features Carolee Carmello, whom I adored in Parade, so that's something.
