This attractive double-album release pairs two beloved MGM musical soundtracks from Hollywood’s golden age: Lovely To Look At and Brigadoon. Featuring original soundtrack recordings from the classic MGM productions, the set offers a nostalgic journey through some of the most memorable songs, orchestral arrangements and performances from the great era of Technicolor movie musicals.

Lovely To Look At showcases the music of Jerome Kern and features performances associated with stars such as Kathryn Grayson, Howard Keel and Red Skelton. Brigadoon, meanwhile, remains one of MGM’s most celebrated musical films, starring Gene Kelly, Cyd Charisse and Van Johnson, with its romantic Scottish setting and enduring Lerner & Loewe compositions.

For collectors of classic film music, Broadway adaptations and vintage Hollywood memorabilia, this double-LP set is both an enjoyable listen and an attractive display piece.
