Notes

An original cast album featuring members of the original New York production. Simulated Stereo.

The label reverses the order of the titles for track B5, i.e. "Scene: Joe And Carmen—Finale", which contradicts the front and back covers. Bizet's full name appears on the label but nowhere else. Hammerstein and Bizet (along with Billy Rose) are not given specific credit roles; it simply says "By Oscar Hammerstein II" and "Based on Bizet's opera".
