V/A - This Is The Army / Call M

Facts This contains the original commercial recordings of two great Broadway musical revues, the first, Irving Berlin's "This Is The Army," written in wartime and humorously chronicling the transition from civilian life to being in the Army and becoming a proud member of America's fighting forces. The second, Harold Rome's "Call Me Mister," tells the story in reverse - poking gentle fun at service life and the blessings and trials of returning to civilian life. A much overdue digitally remastered CD issue of two historic shows of great interest to all lovers of musicals. Features Irving Berlin, Ezra Stone, Philip Truex, Julie Oshins, Lawrence Winters, Betty Garrett, Harry Clark, Bill Callaghan and others.
