Your first cast recording was... — Page 4

Oh man, I for the life of me can't remember. I want to say Bye Bye Birdie but that might just be the first record I wore out. I suppose Gigi was my first recording of a musical (soundtrack) but honestly I could be wrong on both accounts. One came quickly after the other as I got more and more obsessed and at this point it's all a blur.

My first exposure as a child was SOUTH PACIFIC on 78's. First monoural 33 1/3 mono LP was WEST SIDE STORY. The first family household stereo LP came with our first stereo record player with a smacking new release of the OBC release of THE MUSIC MAN. My first dollars spent on a cast album was CARNIVAL. I remember putting it on the record player one evening during dinner. My grandfather was over and dropped his fork when Kaye Ballard yelled "Diiiiiiiirect from Vienna!".
