OST Cats (Broadway)

UMe brings the worldwide musical sensation CATS back to vinyl on high-grade 180-gram 2LP. 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.

British composer, Andrew Lloyd Webber (Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, The Phantom of the Opera), 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 release includes indelible CATS songs as the perpetually raucous “The Rum Tum Tugger,” and the iconic “Memory” with appearances including Finola Hughes, Paul Nicholas, Myra Sands, Wayne Sleep, Susan Jane Tanner, Geraldine Gardner, Paul Nicholas, Brian Blessed, John Thornton, Bonnie Langford, Elaine Paige, Jeff Shankley, Seeta Indrani and more.

The magnificent musical 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.
