Item description from seller

Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm "Simulated Stereo" record album, Decca DL 75125, very-good-plus vinyl in a very good cardboard jacket, which includes 12 cuts, 6 per side (which is odd, since the original radio episodes were 30 minutes -- presumably 22 or so minus the ads.

Though, combined with the chain-saw editing of the original episodes, we must conclude the Decca gang simply evinced no respect for the (admittedly somewhat derivative) mythmaking of WXYZ station owner George Trendle and scriptwriter Fran Striker -- and wasn't about to waste time soliciting cast photos. Disc now reduced from $14.…
