I have the South Pacific - Original Broadway Cast CD available for 1 credit.
Disc is in excellent condition and all inserts are included. However, please note there's a hole punched in the upper right corner of the back insert.
This is basically the same CD as:

However, it does not have track 20, which is a bonus track for the 1998 version, so I can't post it in the system. This is the 1993 version.
Also, from what I've read, the version of "You've Got to Be Taught" on this 1993 version is exclusive to this press of the CD:
"The original Broadway cast album that was the real blockbuster. Released at a time when record formats were changing, it came out on 78s, EPs, and an early 12" LP, and became the longest running number one hit in history. A perennial seller, it remained in print in successive LP reissues, one in 1962 (Columbia OS-2040 in rechanneled stereo) and another in 1973 (Columbia S-32604). The first CD version was a straight transfer of the LP in 1988 (Columbia CK-32604).
On March 9, 1993, Sony Broadway released a remastered version (SK-53327) with three bonus tracks. Pinza had had one of those Top 10 versions of "Some Enchanted Evening" back in 1949, which led Columbia to have him record "Bali Ha'i," a song he did not sing in the show, as a follow-up. In 1951, Martin recorded a one-off single for Columbia of two songs written for but dropped from the show, "Loneliness of Evening" and "My Girl Back Home." These made welcome additions to the 1993 CD. Unfortunately, in returning to the original master tapes, the reissue team mistakenly used an alternate take of "You've Got to Be Carefully Taught," creating a collectable. On November 10, 1998, that error was corrected on a new CD reissue."
