1.0 out of 5 stars Not OK, February 24, 2001

This review is from: Oklahoma! (1947 Original London Cast) (Audio CD)

I was thrilled with the price, but the CD doesn't contain the entire song. Aside from "Oklahoma!" and "Poor Jud is Daid", the songs are the first verse and the chorus. "People Will Say We're In Love" is Laurie singing, but Curly's verse isn't there at all. Too bad the sound clips don't show that....

1.0 out of 5 stars Vocal Gems from OKLAHOMA!, June 12, 2003

This review is from: Oklahoma! (1947 Original London Cast) (Audio CD)

The 1947 London cast of OKLAHOMA! recorded only highlights from the score arranged in 3-song medleys and spread over 4 78 RPM sides. You get sense of the story (wth the songs all out of order) and the performances - even the great Howard Keel - do not come across well due to the age of the masters. A curio for collectors who want every version of the score and possibly for Keel fans. Otherwise stick with the more complete albums. (WARNING: Total playing time for these OKLAHOMA! selections is about 16 minutes. Even with the bonus tracks this is a very short CD!)

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Recording. It's all we have of this 1947 london cast, May 15, 2009

I LOVE this recording. No, it's not the whole score here. It's more of a medley of certain songs with Dinah Shore singing other R&H tunes. I was surprised at how great the sound quality was for this 1947 london cast recording. Howard Keel is GREAT and is up to pare. Thank you Delta/Lazer light for releasing this 1995 classic great gem.
