This Release is considered by many to have been the first ever with Decorative Cover Artwork - making it the First Ever Album Cover in History, designed by the great Alex Steinweiss in the late 1930s (some say 1937, some say 1938 . . .). It's iconic, with its artwork drawn from a Marquee with Rodgers&Hart in Lights, and the Grooves of Records as the Background. Marquee is from the legendary Imperial Theatre.
