ABOUT
THE DISC & RECORDINGS:
This is the rare 1970's gatefold Japanese import version of the MGM Records series "Those Glorious M-G-M Musicals". For some reason, the Japanese label Polydor decided to re-arrange the pairings of the soundtracks. The American issue pairs Easter Parade with Singin' In The Rain, and the British issue is pairs it with The Pirate. It seems odd to pair Easter with Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, as they have nothing in common, aside from the fact that both were produced by MGM and of course they're both musicals.
Academy Award Winner: 1948 Best Scoring of a Musical
