About this Item

Pair of RCA Victor "Red Seal" 10-inch, 78 rpm shellac (we presume) records in original cardboard album, discs 10-1412 and 10-1413, near-mint records in a very-good cardboard jacket with some modest soiling and rub to corners. The Cantata was featured in the short-lived 1942 patriotic Broadway review "Of V We Sing." The show ran two months, closed, and the piece slipped into obscurity until revived by Merrill (of the Metropolitan Opera, but nonetheless a Dodgers fan), here, in 1948. George Kleinsinger (1914-1982) is better known as the co-author (along with Paul Tripp) of "Tubby the Tuba." Reduced from $75. Seller Inventory # 009212
