One of the last of the MGM soundtracks to be released on record, cassette and CD. Issued by EMI Records in England in a nice gatefold sleeve with prmotional photos and liner notes, the record features tracks in both mono and stereo. Remastered by Ron Hill and Vic Lanza, the tracks sound quite good. All tracks are the original MGM Records versions.
This is the single disc companion to the more extensive boxed set compilations (two boxed sets with four CDs each) titled "Those Magnificent MGM Musicals" also released in 1990.
