Annie Get Your Gun opened May 16, 1946 at the Imperial Theatre, New York City, and ran for 1147 performances.

The booklet contains two pages of the original LP liner note by Louis Untermeyer, and reissue notes (about 6 pages and a half) by Max O. Preeo (Editor of the excellent Show Music magazine), including a nearly 4 pages synopsis. The reissue notes are very complete and interesting. If all reissues notes were of the same quality! The booklet also contains a reproduction of the original LP reissue covers, and 4 small plus 2 big black and white pictures, mainly of the show but of the main authors and contributors too. There's also a reproduction of the London Phase 4 Stereo album cover.

Even if this recording is typically a Broadway old sounding musical, and even if I thought something close to 'what's that thing' the first time I listened to it, I must confess it is full of wonderful tunes, and has very good vocal performances. Maybe it's a little for the collector, because of its style, but I think that anyone interested in musicals history should have a listen at this one, as it's one of the monuments of American musical theatre, and this recording is the original one.
