I've tried contacting RCA in the past, the library was sold to Sony. I talked to Shirley about this recording years ago, she can not remember it. It exists somewhere.

This may have been an exclusive for some company or brand (maybe gas stations)? There are quite a few albums floating around which aren't documented simply because they were giveaway or promotional items. In any case, the title of the album is definitely a show tune (Rodgers & Hammerstein).

The title, of course, is from the show "Me and Juliet" - a lesser known Rodgers and Hammerstein effort from 1953.

Posted on behalf of Max Preeo:

The Shirley Jones-Jack Cassidy album MARRIAGE TYPE LOVE ("Mr. & Mrs. Songs") indeed exists in the Sony archive, that company having bought RCA Victor. It was assigned a number, LSP 2121, and a cover was prepared, which can be seen at some of the Jack Cassidy websites.

I have suggested Sony Masterworks Broadway at least release the album through its ArkivMusic program (CD-on-Demand), but so far no interest.
