Description / My Opinion
|

Music Boulevard - Ordered 01/06/99 - Backordered - Shipped 01/27/99 - Received 02/06/99
The booklet contains a big B&W photo of Rodgers & Hammerstein II, 3 small and two medium B&W photos of the performers at work, and a big 2 page color photo which could be from the original stage performances, but I'm not sure. There is also a very good history of the show from Bert Fink.
This is a very good recording, with interesting voices et caetera, et caetera. But overall, this is a complete recording, and I appreciated it even more because of that.
