The Wizard of Oz - London Cast Recording [AAC](Big Papi) 1989

Source: 1989 CD + Fresh cover Art Scan

This is ripped AAC because the CD had some issues and iTunes is more forgiving with errors. Big Papi only did a quick prview and all seems fine but there are 3 tracks harshing Big Papi's melon, 6, 12 and 13. If there are any pops please forgive Big Papi. This is such an amazing production Big Papi could not just toss the entire CD due to 3 tracks. Big Papi hopes you understand.
