The King and I

'CD remaster of the LP (m792738). This recording is NOT the original Broadway cast, but was part of a new series of stereo recordings of shows that were then only available in monoaural. It was also felt that the original 1951 cast lacked great singers, and several attempts were made at re-recording the score.
