Original cast members were reassembled of May 31, 1960 for this recording as the complete score had never been preserved, only excerpts.

In "The Real Coney Island" portion of this recording there is an Arab-like vocal part about a pretty girl who picks up a handkerchief with her teeth. There is no vocal credit on the first issue but on the reissue it is credited as "Randel Striboneen" which is an anagram for Leonard Bernstein who sang this part for the recording as the person who did it in the show was not available for the recording session.

The CD release also contains a recording of the Overture, conducted by Lehman Engel and the three dance episodes conducted by Leonard Bernstein.
