The Sound Of Music

Artists

Album Info

Release Date: 1962-04

Labels: World Record Club, Light Music Club

The sleeve has "Bobby Richards' orchestra is conducted by..." - but the UK version credits the New World Show Orchestra. "Bobby Richards And His Orchestra" and "The New World Show Orchestra" may well have differed in name only, with the same personnel used in both studio orchestras for WRC recordings.

World Record Club ran a special in April 1962, reissuing 62 LPs and offering one free LP for every two purchased (at the usual price of 35/ each). At the time, they were using the Griffin Press as their printer.

While the labels are still the pink Light Music Club labels, the Light Music Club has been expurgated from the sleeve, leaving only WRC logos present. Mono and stereo versions have an identical sleeve and the same number on the back (LM 93) - the mono version has "LM-93" on the labels, while the stereo has "SLM-93" on green 'strobe' labels. The stereo was issued with a large "S" sticker on the front of the sleeve.
