Analog Spark, a new label for reissues of music on vinyl and SACD, will launch with the vinyl release of The Sound of Music – 50th Anniversary Edition, which will be available on March 10.

The Sound of Music – 50th Anniversary Edition will feature previously unreleased orchestral cues from the score, and all vocal performances in one set for the first time. The soundtrack includes Rodgers & Hammerstein musical favorites such as "The Sound of Music," "Sixteen Going on Seventeen," "Do-Re-Mi," "Edelweiss," "So Long, Farewell," "Climb Ev’ry Mountain," and "My Favorite Things."

In addition to the previously unreleased material, the 50th anniversary edition will also include new introductory notes from Julie Andrews and Theodore S. Chapin, president and executive director of Rodgers & Hammerstein: An Imagem Company.

Simultaneously, the original 16-track Grammy Hall of Fame-inducted RCA Victor soundtrack album will be available on 180-gram vinyl and super audio CD (SACD). It will also include the eight-page booklet that accompanied the original vinyl release.
