Description
CD-R Release Date: June 24, 2014
(This CD-R is professionally duplicated in the same plant where we have many of our CD titles manufactured. It has an applied disc label – like any CD.)
We have attempted to compile a most unusual CD-R here. The songs sung by Julia Sanderson (who is most associated with Kern’s original “THE GIRL FROM UTAH” where she first introduced Kern’s colossal hit “They Didn’t Believe Me” to the world in 1914) along with her husband Frank Crumit – famous as the first man to play ukulele on Broadway! – originate from a 1941 Decca release.
All of the Joan Roberts (the original ‘Laurey’ from Rodgers & Hammerstein’s OKLAHOMA ) songs were sung on Broadway, but Joan was Nanette Fabray’s replacement in High Button Shoes. These selection were on a 10-inch record in the early 1950s on an obscure label. These songs feature completely new orchestrations for the record and a large orchestra.
They are a delightful listening experience!
Four of the songs (those from ‘Marinka’ and ‘Are You With It?’) are cast recordings that only appear here!! 16 songs total.
