I must just be on a roll or something....I found a cd called "North of Hollywood" today for $3 in a used bin.The disc is licensed from RCA and appears to be a reissue of an LP from 1958.
There are a couple of tracks that I can not track down. There are some that are "from" 'Wall Street Ballet"--is this the ballet North wrote for the film "Daddy Long Legs"?
Also there is a track from something called "American Road". I guess this is some propaganda film scored in the early 50s?
There are different tracks here than on the "North by North" reissue on Citadel, and a couple of the tracks from "The Rose Tattoo" are not on the track list from that cd issue that I have, though the music seems to have just been retitled.
Thanks to anyone who can help here!

Is this the same one Bay Cities rereleased several years back?

I went back to my copy of this and tried to find out. As the liner notes seem to comment on a number of North's concert works, my guess is that the Wall Street ballet is just that, a ballet North wrote at some time. I do not know what the American Road is and the liner notes didn't mention it or Wall Street ballet for that matter.
