an 'Essential New Release') Stage Door are pleased to

range of musical styles and genres from prolific musical theatre
composers including Ivor Novello, Noel Coward, Vivian Ellis,
Julian Slade, Sandy Wilson, Lionel Bart, Leslie Bricusse and
more. Presented as a Deluxe 2CD set; 'Lost West End Vintage'
features 50 tracks (including over 20 tracks appearing on CD for the
first time) from London cast recordings to pop covers, demos and
other musical rarities. The album includes recordings by a
glittering ensemble of star performers including; Mary Martin,
Jeremy Brett, Sally Ann Howes, Dora Bryan, Julie Wilson, Evelyn Laye,

Although the shows didn't last, their music lives on and this
collection affirms that the 'lost' musicals featured are well worth
rediscovering.
