3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good, June 14, 2000

This review is from: A Collector's Rodgers & Hart: A Connecticut Yankee & Other Selections (Audio CD)

This is reissue of the first Broadway revival of "A Connecticut Yankee" starring Vivienne Segal and Vera-ellen (is her only major Broadway role). The cd is pretty good. Segal's performance is, as always, charming . I love "To keep My Love Alive" and i think that her performance is the best!. The CD also include addition songs by famous artist such ad Milton Berle and Bing Crosby, and a very rare song "The Bombardier Song " written for the army during the WW2

These are bootleg CD's dubbed from poor quality 78's.

Decca Broadway went back to the masters for their CD which sounds much much better: A Connecticut Yankee
