1.0 out of 5 stars "Great Broadway Shows", March 4, 2006

By	MYM - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Broadway Shows, July 4, 2006

By	Ken Green "Ken Green" (Gold Coast, Australia) - See all my reviews

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.
