I recently downloaded this album. Was it ever released? How did it appear on a DL site?

Any more infos on your recording? As far as I know there has only been one complete recording, which is the 1988' issued by TER. However, there is an older Studio Cast recording with Vanessa Lee and Roberto Cardinali issued on HMV, but I don't have a recording day there.

As far as I have been able to piece together, this was produced by Goddard Lieberson as part of his series of studio cast recordings of musicals and operettas for Columbia in the early 1950s. Apparently, Noel Coward was not pleased with the results and asked that the recording not be released. Obviously, over the years, collectors have managed to get "leaked" copies of the tapes but it was never officially released. It's not bad, though I prefer EMI's studio album from the 1960s.
