Abstract

en_US This is a combination of ten 33 rpm records with a booklet 12" x 12" explaining the records. The fable illustrations in this booklet all come from Oudry. Here is, I believe, a rare find in good condition. The only other reference on the web that offers a date is as stymied as I am, since the first record has a range of 1958-71 for its recordings. The first thing about this magnificent find is that the records are in pristine shape. The second thing is that they come in a gorgeous red cloth box. The third thing is that they also include a booklet, sixteen pages in length. The booklet moves from an essay on La Fontaine to a detailed description of the contents of the 20 sides of these records. I have not gone out of my way to include recordings in this collection, but this set seems an unusual find. I am bolstered by the fact that the online offering I mention above asks for 200 euros! This set, by the way, spent too much time in someone's basement!
