This is
the 1973 "two-fer" edition that was part of MGM Records'
special gatefold two record reissues of their soundtracks.
Nothing
new here aside from the packaging, which is in the "gatefold"
style meaning the album opens up to reveal liner notes and
photos on the inside. These were the last editions on LP prior
to the mid-1980s and
MCA
Classics'
release
of several
MGM Records' soundtracks on LP, CD, and cassette.
The sides on these two records are set up to play in order
of sides on a "stackable" record player. The records are stacked, then
the first side of each record is played, then they're flipped over so the remaining
two sides play.
Academy Award Winner: 1948 Best Scoring of a Musical
