High Tor: Album Guide, Artist and Facts

High Tor (official title including subtitle: High Tor — Songs and Story From The Ford Star Jubilee — CBS Television Production) is a soundtrack album released by Decca Records under catalog number DL 8272. It is associated with the 1956 CBS television adaptation of High Tor, a musical version of Maxwell Anderson's 1936 stage play, presented as part of the Ford Star Jubilee program broadcast on March 10, 1956. The made-for-television production starred Bing Crosby, Julie Andrews, and Everett Sloane, featuring original music by composer Arthur Schwartz with lyrics by Anderson himself. Decca announced in early 1956 that it would issue the original cast album from the television adaptation. Prior to the broadcast, Decca pre-released two tracks to radio stations and DJs: "When You're in Love" and "John Barleycorn". The album was also part of a broader promotional campaign supported by Ford Motors and CBS affiliates, which included promotional tie-ins, merchandising, and displays at Ford dealers across the country. Despite the initial vinyl release, the album remained unavailable on compact disc (CD) for decades, and was finally released on CD in 2017, in compliance with current U.K. public domain laws.
