[78-L] First stereo musical

[soundthink at aol.com]

Other early ones that I could find (note that these are listings from "The Broadway Musical: A Complete LP Discography by Gordon W. Hodgins); I don't have these records in my library:

Cinderella (mono-Columbia OL 5190, 1957; stereo-OS 2005, 1958)
The Desert Song - RCA Victor LOP/LSO 1000 (1958)
Fiorello - Capitol WAO/SWAO 1321 (1959)
First Impressions - Columbia OC 5400/OS 2014 (1959)
Flower Drum Song - Columbia OL 5350/OS 2009 (1959)
Juno - Columbia OL 5380/OS 2013 (1959)
New Girl in Town - RCA Victor (mono-LOC 1027, 1957; stereo-LSO 1027, 1958)
Rose Marie - RCA Victor LOP/LSO 1001 (1959)

West Side Story came out in mono in 1957 (OL 5230); the stereo version (OS 2001) in 1959.

Cary Ginell (mono version)

But Jamaica couldn't have appeared as a stereo LP in 1957..not till some time 
in '58.
