The black vinyl reissue of the Original London Cast Recording was initially released in the UK in July 1981 and in the U.S. in July 1982.
Andrew Lloyd Webber launched what is indisputably an international phenomenon when in 1977 he decided to adapt T.S. Eliot’s 1939 poetry collection Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats as a song cycle for the stage.
The magnificent score includes one of the most treasured songs in musical theatre - ‘Memory’, which has been recorded by over 150 artists from Barbra Streisand and Johnny Mathis to Liberace and Barry Manilow.
Now and forever, CATS: Original London Cast Recording is the perfect vinyl companion for fans of one of the most celebrated musicals of all time.
