[78-L] Obie item?

[David Lennick]

I don't think that's an Obie item..but I'm surprised to find it on vinyl. I 
believe I finally got an intact copy of it, either on US issue or Canadian 
Musicraft, with the album..it's a hilarious (unintentionally) mangling of 
Carmen for kiddies. Okay, Spike Jones was probably funnier.

Obie or someone like him DID steal (or have questionable rights to) the 1942 
World's Greatest Opera sets, done with anonymous second-string Met singers, and 
put them out both as straight transfers to LP (on World's Greatest, I think) 
and with spliced-in narration by Milton Cross (on Parade).
