What it documents no production attributed

This recording is filed against On the Town. Nothing on the record says which staging of it was recorded. Here is every staging we hold.

1944 Adelphi Theatre Original · opened December 28, 1944 462 perf.
1963 Prince of Wales Theatre Transfer
1971 Imperial Theatre Revival · opened October 31, 1971 73 perf.

2014 Lyric Theatre Revival · opened October 16, 2014 · running when this was released 368 perf.

A lead, not an answer. One staging was running on the release date and no other was. That makes it the obvious candidate and it is not proof: a cast album can be issued years after a run, reissued under a new sleeve, or recorded by a company that never played the theatre. This falls out for 44 of the 237 recordings held; for the rest the dates rule nothing in or out.

Track listing none held

No track listing is held for this recording, or for any of the other 236. The running order is usually printed on the back of the sleeve. We hold no photograph of the back of this one. 127 of the 237 recordings have a back sleeve on file; this is not among them, so the running order is not in anything we hold.

Separate releases, not necessarily separate recordings. A reissue, a foreign pressing and an original can all appear here as three rows, because what we hold is releases and the field that would distinguish them is not held.

What this page does not know

  • Which production this documents, or whether it documents one at all.
  • What is on it. No track listing, no running time, no side breaks.
  • Who sings. No performer is credited on any recording we hold, so the cast of the album and the cast of the stage production are never compared.
  • The format. Whether it was vinyl, CD, cassette or download is not known.
  • The catalogue number as a separate field. It may be inside the label string above; see the note on the right.
  • Where to buy, rent or borrow it. No purchase link is held for any recording.
