[78-L] French Ravel album with illustrated cover

[David Lennick]

That is NICE! Never seen it with that album cover or any illustrated album 
cover. The set was on the various Columbia labels for years (8114-8116 is 
probably automatic sequence).

And Ravel didn't conduct it any more than you or I can conduct a streetcar, but 
the legends persist (Pedro de Freitas-Branco conducted).
