Lola
Montez
(Stannard/Benjamin)
(RNBW003)
Original Australian
Cast recording with Mary Preston, Frank Wilson, Michael Cole, Jane Martin.
First time on CD. The most complete version of the score available on
disc. This original cast recording, long cherished as a collector’s
item, is reissued here in its stereo version, but includes as a bonus
track “I Can See A Town’ from the mono cast because it contains
an additional counterpoint track not on the stereo version. Other bonus
tracks include two songs from the score in first time recordings.

Max Preeo, Show Music
“The
score still sparkles.”
