Original Cast Recording, Call Me Madam (RCA Victor/Masterworks Broadway)
Irving Berlin's 1950 Broadway musical starred Ethel Merman, but Decca Records wouldn't release the Merm from her recording contract to appear on RCA's original cast album. So Merman recorded her own Madam set opposite Dick Haymes, and the rest of the cast joined Dinah Shore for RCA's album. This digital/CD-R release is the first authorized reissue of the Shore album in the CD era. Read more here.
