Musicals Collection (Orbis)

Orbis 1990s partwork

Much loved series of much loved musicals.

We have most of the CDs in this series and all the magazines and cassettes. We have revised this listing to offer options on the  magazine, CD or tape. If you want the mag + tape, just order CD alone and tell us at checkout that it's this combination you really want. The number in brackets against each entry indicates the current stock level.

We're also listing here a few Orbis special issues celebrating the music of WW2, called Victory 1945. Only 6 issues were published.

And finally....for a limited time only, we have a 2007 boxed set of 12 CDs (still sealed) called The Very Best Film Musicals. See foot of list for details.

If the availability figure for an item shows zero (0), this means we are out of stock at the present time.
