"The Desert Song has endured since its Broadway debut in November 1926 ... In London, The Desert Song met with similar success, opening at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in April 1927 and running for 432 performances ... Saga's 1967 Studio Cast Recording was inspired by the West End revival that year which played the Palace Theatre ... The Desert Song has been freshly remastered from the original Saga master tapes housed at the British Library. The album has been expanded with the original 1927 London Cast Recordings starring Edith Day and Harry Welchman ... One can safely expect these vintage tracks to appear their best fidelity yet. Rounding out the set are two more bonus solos from vocalist and Desert Song revival mainstay John Hanson".
