If you are the artist and are planning a reissue, please let me know and I’ll remove it from the blog.

  1. Taylor this is genius! Some legendary names in this production like Del Close, Jack Burns, Avery Schrieber, etc. And Severn Darden?!? I never knew he did comedy 'back in the day'!
    I'm sorry I missed this the first time around, but glad that your links are still working.
    Thank you so much for this, Taylor.
