this production and and the wonderful music from it and be an important part of our family christmas tradition for many year until the long play record be finally break by one of the grandchild . although the story line be obviously very familiar and the stage craft and music give new life to dickens beloved christmas tale . the casting be truly inspired with basil rathbone the best of the lot . the original musical score be extremely clever and well do by some of the best artist ( both from popular and classical venue ) of that time . it a shame that a video reproduction of performance be not readily available in tape or compact disc form . it would be wonderful if i could purchase a copy of the record of the musical score or if someone could burn a compact disc from a copy and allow me to purchase the same . thank very much .
