Privates On Parade was written by Peter Nichols with music by Denis King. The musical comedy, according to press notes, "focuses on the activities and exploits of the fictional Song And Dance Unit South East Asia (SADUSEA) who are stationed in Singapore and Malaysia during the late 1940s."

The production was first staged by the RSC (starring Denis Quilley and Nigel Hawthorne) at Stratford before transferring to London’s Aldwych Theatre in February 1977; it went on to win the 1977 Laurence Olivier Award for Comedy Of The Year. The production was also honored at the 1977 Ivor Novello Awards as Best Musical. The production later transferred to the Piccadilly Theatre in 1978, before debuting in the United States in 1979.

The cast album, recorded in January 1978, has been digitally remastered from the original master tapes.
