Notes

From Jay Records' website:
JAY continues its DigiMIX of the Original London Cast recordings of essential British Musicals, that were badly and crudely mixed and balanced for their original releases. The Original London Cast Recording of Sandy Wilson’s VALMOUTH joins FREE AS AIR, SALAD DAYS and THE BOY FRIEND to be given the DigiMIX treatment and released in the 2CDs DigiMIX series.

The dreaded Organ that was added to the orchestrations, that drove Sandy Wilson to dislike the Original London Cast recording has been tamed and integrated more with the rest of the orchestra. Cleo Laine excessively louder level has been moderated, balanced and blended with all the other vocal levels.
