I did not know there was a Guys and Dolls Overture 'till the Jay recording. I thought the show opened 'cold with Runyonland.

And of course what passes as "Runyonland" on the OBC is only a tiny portion of it. Nice to have the complete thing on the JAY recording. (And I do wish they'd find a way to release their still unreleased complete recordings - a few years ago we were teased with another track from the Anyone Can Whistle recording we've been promised for decades now...but...still no complete release.)

In the show context it's also cool because the Overture leads directly into Runyonland with no stop, and likewise Tinhorns follows with no stop before it. And although Tinhorns has a definite ending, Follow The Fold starts up right after. So - all of that without one line of dialogue yet.
