This recording of South Pacific is unique, because it contains not only the rarely performed 'My Girl Back Home' but also a song never previously on disc. 'Now is the Time': the theme of the song is present in Richard Rodgers' musical description of thousands of troops embarking on the military action they have been waiting for: but the song itself, a duet for de Becque and Cable deciding to undertake a reckless, probably suicidal mission behind enemy lines, appears in this version for the first and perhaps the only time..
