Trivia & History

The two-cd release documents the production in complete form. The two-album LP release and the original cassette release on TER are 'highlight' releases that do not contain the dialogue found on the two-cd release, but contain the complete score. Later, RCA issued a single CD containing the musical numbers, but there are internal cuts made to a couple of them.
