[78-L] David Stone Martin

[David Lennick]

He did a number of classical albums for Disc as well. Incredible stuff. Look 
for anything by the Santa Monica Civic Symphony Orchestra, as well as a set of 
Prokofieff (supposedly) conducting the ballet suite from Romeo and Juliet. That 
particular cover is not to be believed..amid all the chaos, there's a figure 
who's the spit 'n' image of Marlon Brando, before anyone had ever heard of him.

I just acquired a 3 record album on DISC label with Ruth Rubin performing Jewish and Palastinian Folk Songs from Eastern Europe.  Also, he did an album for Langston Hughes reciting his poetry (this cover was used later on a jazz LP, Pete Seeger, I think).

There are literally hundreds of web pages chronicling his work on LP covers, but I haven't been able to find much about his earlier work.  Any ideas where I might find this info?
