    Despite the plain looking sleeve the album at the front
    is certainly one of my more unusual records. It was pressed
    in 1972 by Exxon Chemicals the house label for the American
    petrochemical company, and is over 40 minutes long on each
    side which must make it one of the longest records I have,
    it does make this claim inside it's sleeve.
    One side has excerpts of radio plays from the 30's and the
    other has lovely old tunes of the era. The inner sleeve has
    reproductions of newspaper article on the drama caused by
    Orson Welles reading War Of The Worlds on the radio in 1938,
    all in all it's a lovely if not that particularly rare album but it's
    certainly one of my favourites.
