[78-L] Macleish "Air Raid" Columbia album set

[Elizabeth McLeod]

Yep, it's definitely Frank Gallop narrating the Columbia album version,
which is also the version in common OTR circulation, minus the "WABC New
York, at the sound of the gong the time will be 2AM" announcement that
appears on the records.

I don't think I've ever come across the actual Columbia Workshop broadcast
of this, but I presume it exists since most of the other Workshop broadcasts
of that period are around.
