In 1959, Capitol Records released a LP record album that corresponded with Meredith Willson‘s latest biographical book – But He Doesn’t Know The Territory.
Tied in, as well, with a 20-city tour, this record features both Meredith and his wife Rini as they recreate their two-person presentation used in finding a Broadway producer for The Music Man back in 1956.
