Includes original LP liner notes by Louis Untemeyer and reissue liner notes by Max O. Preeo and Brian Drutman.Digitally remastered by Greg Calbi (February, 2000).One of the great musicals of all time, GUYS & DOLLS has been produced countless times on stages from Broadway to Main Street, U.S.A. The mythical world of gamblers and gun molls seems never to lose its allure; the plight of Nathan Detroit and his bid to outdo the conniving Sky Masterson is loaded with comedy, romance, and, most of all, music. Frank Loesser's songs turn common criminals into singing and dancing stars. Some of the most memorable Broadway songs are contained in Loesser's amazing score, including "A Bushel and Peck," "If I Were a Bell," and "Luck Be a Lady." And hearing Robert Alda and Sam Levene originate their roles as a couple of crooning hooligans makes this record an indispensable artifact.
