Looks like another big revival recording cut the act 1 finale (like 20th Century). Likely cut in favor of including Small House. I would have preferred having the act 1 finale.

NO how in God's name could the cut the Hello Young Lovers reprise? This is criminal.

The ONLY reason I want or need another recording of THE KING AND I (a show I love, but hardly R&H's richest vocal score) is if it contains "Small House of Uncle Tom."

I have doubts that it's even the real tracklist, I'll wait for a confirmation from Decca Broadway.

Well it is included on the London revival recording, film soundtrack, and a truncated version on the 1964 Lincoln Center recording. I don't find it that interesting on a recording. I much rather hear the act one finale and Young Lovers reprise.

Fair enough. I only have the OBCR. Like I said, not that interesting a score to me, although it is the show/movie that caused me to fall in love with musical theater. Maybe I played it too often as a child, but "Getting to Know You" and "Whistle a Happy Tune" are just a step above "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" to my ear.
