Hard to find original pressing. One unique theatrical creation by the great Stephen Sondheim that uses traditional Japanese instruments with a western twist to depict the east/west cultural conflicts in 19th century Japan. No indication of recording locale but judging by the deep sound stage, I suspect it may be the Winter Garden in NYC which it opened the same year. The play enjoyed a recent revive. Engineer: Anthony Salvatore

Issued: 1976

Record condition: NM/NM

Cover condition: EX+ (slight corner wear) gatefold

Booklet condition: NM-

Note: I'm a collector, not a dealer. The reason I'm selling is to downsize my collection. Every record I offer was hand-picked based on its merits on music, performance, and sonics (not necessarily in that order!). I will list recording credentials such as producer, engineer, venue, date, etc. as I believe as an educated buyer, these will offer crucial info for an unfamiliar record to make a buying judgement. Hope you'll find this useful!
