2018 - The first networked TV Western series to be filmed in colour, BONANZA ran on NBC from 1959 to 1973 and ranks among the Top 10 longest-running, live-action American TV series. Both Ponderosa Party Time, a cast recording, and David Rose's Bonanza, Original Television Soundtrack LP, made the US album charts in 1962 and 1961, respectively. This compilation comprises these two albums plus a handful of bonus tracks, which include a previously unissued cast recording of the show's title tune, plus Al Caiola's and Johnny Cash's hit versions, and the original television soundbed.
