About this record

I can see from the search results that there are multiple Kismet albums involving Alfred Drake, but the 1955 release appears to be a vinyl EP, not the original Broadway cast album (which was from 1953). The search results indicate the 1955 film soundtrack featured Howard Keel, not Alfred Drake. Let me clarify what specific 1955 album the user is asking about. Based on the search results, there was a 1955 Vinyl release of Kismet featuring Alfred Drake, though the original Broadway cast album was recorded in 1953. Starring Alfred Drake as Hajj the poet, Kismet is one of the greatest cast albums ever recorded, and the musical was based on music adapted from 19th century Russian composer Alexander Borodin for their 1953 stage work. The 1955 MGM film soundtrack featured Howard Keel rather than Drake in the lead role.
