"Saturday Night at Tom Benton's" Thomas Hart Benton 3 Record Album Set Decca

$

200

My cherished copy of this super limited edition historical 3 record album set.

World famous paint artist Thomas Hart Benton helped write, perform and produce this rare set.

Saturday Night at Tom Benton’s

Featuring Thomas Hart Benton, TP Benton (Son of TH Benton), The Frank Luther Singers, Edwin Robinson & The American Chamber Music Group

World famous artist Benton flirted with a career as a harmonica virtuoso. He cut a three-record album, released by Decca, titled Saturday Night at Tom Benton's (Decca 331). In it he tooted out tunes on his harmonica, backed by an orchestra of professional musicians.

I am not a record specialist so will not grade this item.

However, I can say it looks like it's never been played.

I've certainly never played it.

In truth, this is a museum piece and should be curated somewhere.

Has been stored in a Smoke Free Home.
