The soundtrack to WEST SIDE STORY has already been released.
West Side Story is the soundtrack to the 1961 film West Side Story. Released in 1961, the soundtrack spent 54 weeks at #1 on Billboard's album charts, giving it the longest run at #1 of any album in history,[1] although some lists instead credit Michael Jackson's Thriller, on the grounds that West Side Story was listed on a chart for stereo albums only at a time when many albums were recorded in mono.[2] In 1961, it won a Grammy award for "Best Sound Track Album ? Original Cast". In the United States, it was the best-selling album in of the 1960s,[3] certifying three times platinum by the RIAA on November 21, 1986.
Though the album was released just a few years after the release of the original broadway cast recording, it is according to Broadway Babies preferred by some to the earlier version both sentimentally, as the film succeeded in establishing the musical as a "popular masterpiece", and musically, as it contains "beefier orchestration".[4]

Posted: 4/1/09 at 4:36pmIf they record it, they better do a lot to enhance Tony's tracks - maybe even replace him.

Some do, actually!
Dacvingwolf, on BroadwayWorld, people tend to get irritated when you call a show's cast recording a 'soundtrack,' because a 'soundtrack' is prerecorded music. When you see a movie in the theatre and then buy a soundtrack, the music on it will sound exactly the same. When you see a Broadway musical in the theatre and then buy a cast recording, it will sound slightly different.
