Jays first complete recording of the score is the answer to this masterworks legion of fans hungry for alternative recordings of it since its Broadway debut in 1963.

Its Gonna Be Another Hot Day and Little Red Shoes. Composer Harvey Schmidt and lyricist Tom Jones also wrote Broadways longest running musical "The Fantasticks" which is still running after 46 years.
