The recording features expert musical direction by Ray Cook conducting the Westminster Sinfonia and Theatre Chorus. The SAGA Records 'Half a Sixpence' album has the distinction of including numbers from the Original London, Broadway and Film versions of David Heneker's score. Highlights include 'The Party's on the House', 'I Don't Believe a Word of it', 'This is My World' and of course the showstopper 'Flash, Bang, Wallop!'Digitally remastered from the original studio master tapes, the 'Half a Sixpence' London Studio Cast Recording now makes it's debut on CD and is licensed from the SAGA tape collection at the British Library.
