Description
Columbia Masterworks Set No. 325, released in 1939. Scenes from the 1938 Broadway production of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, performed by a young Orson Welles and members of the Mercury Theatre. Wikipedia describes it as "one of the first spoken word albums of historical significance."
This vintage record set is in 10 parts on 5 heavy 12" records, issued in a book-like hardcover album with sleeves for the 5 records. Based on age I think they are 78 RPM. The cover has shelf wear to its edges and some water stains to the back cover. There was a piece of corrugated cardboard that left marks inside the back cover. I'm not an expert on records and can't test these, but they look to be in good used condition and could use a cleaning. Please check the photos and feel free to ask questions.
