DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT! Schwann April 1959 lists West Side Story's stereo 
version as November 1958. Oh, and "Desert Song", "New Girl in Town" and "Say, 
Darling" were all issued by RCA and first Schwanned in August 1958. Lots of 
soundtracks put out in stereo that year but cast albums were a bit slower off 
the mark.
