Some contain only music, like a disc Selznick issued with 13 minutes of the 
SPELLBOUND score.

The most interesting are 16" one-sided discs on Vitrolac, recorded at 331/3, with musical and bare-bones plot synopses from 30"s MGM movies.  I have 15 of them, and I've never seen such things before. Everything from "Let Freedom Ring" to "Love finds Andy Hardy"!   I assume they were from radio shows that plugged MGM movies.  Anybody know how many of these were done.  The ones I have each have an RCA envelope and most have a needle attached.  They look almost mint.  Grateful for any further info.
