I purchased this set originally for New Faces of 1952. Being a fan of most musicals of that era I was not disappointed. I found the original cast recordings to be excellent and a perfect introduction to Broadway Shows.

Such a disappointment! The sound quality is beyond poor on CD 1 and is followed closely by CD 4; the other CDs are okay. If you're into old Broadway songs, buy "Greatest Broadway Hits: Golden Greats" instead. The latter is listenable.
