Product description I will ship by EMS or SAL items in stock in Japan. It is approximately 7-14days on delivery date. You wholeheartedly support customers as satisfactory. Thank you for you seeing it. .com The Rodgers and Hammerstein show that went the longest (almost 60 years) before getting a major Broadway revival, South Pacific receives its first complete recording, capturing 107 minutes of classic songs as well as reprises and underscored dialogue. Given the thankless task of succeeding Mary Martin of the original Broadway cast is the wonderful Paige O'Hara (Disney's Beauty and the Beast, John McGlinn's Show Boat), full of sass and spunk as Nellie Forbush. Although this Emile De Becque, Justino Diaz, isn't actually a Frenchman (but hey, neither was Ezio Pinza), his accent is only a faint distraction from his rich voice. Filling out the cast are tenor Sean McDermott as Lt. Joe Cable and Pat Suzuki (Flower Drum Song) as Bloody Mary. It's a very good recording, and an easy choice for anyone who wants the complete score. The only drawback is that, unlike other JAY Masterworks Editions, this one doesn't include extra songs, such as "My Girl Back Home," a song cut from the original production but restored for the 1958 film. --David Horiuchi

Complete Score
This is an excellent recording of this beautiful score. The best thing going for it is that it is a complete recording. This is a great asset. Unfortunately the weak link in this recording is Paige O'Hara. Her voice is thin and nasal and, to be honest, aggravating. The rest of the cast is superb. If you can skip Nellie's numbers, the recording is well worth it. Pat Suzuki stands out here as Bloody Mary as does Justino Diaz as Emile.

Outstanding quality vinyl.
I am a radio host. I played vinyl from 1968 to 1979. I know the range of quality one can expect. This disc had no visible flaws, no dust or dirt, and played with no discernible surface noise. The original cover art sleeve was in excellent condition. Brought back tons of memories. Thanks for meeting all my expectations.

Complete but not Perfect
As with the complete recordings of Guys and Dolls and The Pajama Game, this double CD brings together the full score including uncut dance-breaks and incidental music. The orchastrations are fantastic but, like the others in this series, the cast suffer due to the 'studio' nature of the recording. There is little of the vibrancy and excitment of a Broadway Cast Recording because the cast are only singing the roles and have probably never seen the script at all. This means that many of the performances, while technically good, are characterless.Paige O'Hara, excellent as the voice of Disney's Belle, plays the part a little too twee - yes, I know Nellie is a hick but she goes too far in that direction. Justino Diaz, as Emile, has a good voice that does not cover the lack of a personality. The rest of the cast are equally too note-perfect.The people who will find this recording the most useful will be people, like myself, who are performers. When performing in a production of South Pacific this CD was very useful, more for the not-available-anywhere-else material than anything else. The dance music and the incidental stuff is useful to rehearse with.On the whole, a worthy CD for the completist but if you want a more character-driven recording, search out one from an actual stage performance.
