Stage Door launches a three-volume series collecting RCA Victor's 1953 Show Time EPs.  Each four-song EP celebrated a different classic musical with a starry cast (often featuring singers who had starred onstage in the show represented).  The shows included on the first volume are Oklahoma! (Rodgers and Hammerstein); Carousel (Rodgers and Hammerstein); Show Boat (Kern and Hammerstein); The Cat and The Fiddle (Kern and Harbach); Babes in Arms (Rodgers and Hart); and Jumbo (Rodgers and Hart).  John Raitt, Jack Cassidy, Carol Bruce, Lisa Kirk, Stephen Douglass, and Patricia Neway are among the artists.
