[78-L] ~ Atlantic Records - Shakespeare series LP early 1950s

[David Lennick]

Romeo and Juliet is the only one listed in Schwann, July 1951. 2 12" lps, not 
covered by the price list in the back so this may have been Atlantic's first 
12" issue. I guess Webster and Eva LeGallienne were still on speaking terms if 
no longer an item.
