The term studio recording means any recording made in a studio, as opposed to a live recording, which is usually made in a concert venue or a theatre, with an audience attending the performance. The practice has existed since before the advent of Broadway cast albums in 1943. That year the songs from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! performed by the original cast, were released on a multi-record 78-RPM album by American Decca. However, early “studio cast” albums were very different froStudio cast recordings have become especially useful in the era of compact discs after being overshadowed for years by original cast albums, in nearly all cases, moderate to large amounts of songs were left out of original cast albums of older shows because there was simply no room for all of them on a single LP, even one that lasted 50 minutes. The extended length of a typical CD makes it possible to include all the songs and music from one show on one or more discs, and studio casts have had to be the ones to record new albums of older shows, since, in many cases, original cast members are either long retired or have died. Occasionally, film scores were recorded with studio casts, especially in the days before soundtrack albums. One such example is Decca’s 1939 album of songs from The Wizard of Oz, which featured Judy Garland singing Over the Rainbow and the deleted song The Jitterbug, but the Ken Darby Singers singing the rest of the score.
