[PAR] [TLE] MGM Records [SEP] MGM Records was a record label started by the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film studio in 1946 for the purpose of releasing soundtrack albums of their musical films.  It soon transitioned to a pop music label which continued into the 1970s.  The company also released soundtrack albums of the music for some of their non-musical films as well, and on rare occasions, cast albums of off-Broadway musicals such as "The Fantasticks" and the 1954 revival of "The Threepenny Opera".  In one instance, it even released the highly successful soundtrack album of a film made by a rival studio, Columbia Pictures's "Born Free" (1966). [PAR] [TLE] The Fantasticks [SEP] The Fantasticks is a 1960 musical with music by Harvey Schmidt and lyrics by Tom Jones.  It tells an allegorical story, loosely based on the play "The Romancers" ("Les Romanesques") by Edmond Rostand, concerning two neighboring fathers who trick their children, Luisa and Matt, into falling in love by pretending to feud.  The fathers hire traveling actors to stage a mock abduction, so that Matt can heroically seem to save Luisa, ending the supposed feud.  When the children discover the deception, they reject the arranged love match and separate.  Each then gains disillusioning experiences of the real world, seen in parallel fantasy sequences.  They return to each other bruised but enlightened, and they renew their vows with more maturity.
