The original soundtrack to the 1953 film The Band Wagon was released by MGM Records in the same year in three formats: as a set of four 10-inch 78-rpm shellac records, a set of two 45-rpm EPs, and as an 12-inch LP record. (The 78-rpm and 45-rpm issues didn't include "The Girl Hunt Ballet", though it could be purchased separately on a 45-rpm EP.)
