[78-L] NOt a 78 BUT do we really need another OC album of "Sound of Music"

[Michael Biel]

I had never realized that the RCA Victor original casts and soundtracks
were on Red Seal labels in Canada.  They're black label here in the U.S.
 Leah and I were surprised to find the Sound of Music soundtrack on a
Red Seal label in the Goodwill in Whitby Ontario last month.  It was
trashed so we didn't get it, but did get a few Red Seal shows at a great
store we found in Toronto such as Hello Dolly which had three or four
different covers in the U.S. and we were curious what the Canadian cover
would compare.  My best find in that store was a stereo copy of Peter
Sellers and Sophia Loren on Canadian Angel -- been looking for a stereo
to supplement my mono copy for 45 years.
That album had been discussed here a few days earlier.

 I would have to disagree. Sound of Music got terrible reviews when it
opened on 
 Broadway and the album didn't do that well. The soundtrack album was
another 
 story. And I don't encounter either one as often as I turn up Fiddler
on the 
 Roof or West Side Story or Brigadoon or another Rodgers & Hammerstein
show that 
 didn't do too badly for itself. And My Fair Lady..every 5th album you
see is My 
 Fair Lady.

you find when looking through LP collections? THE SOUND OF MUSIC. Well,
it's now 50 years old and Sony just issued it on CD again! Okay there
are 3 bonus tracks - Julie and Carol Burnett from their Carnegie Hall
show, Edelweiss from a Vienna Production and Climb Ev'ry Mountain in
SWEDISH!
