Re: [ARSCLIST] Spoken Arts records

[Richard Warren <richard.warren@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Steve,

Spoken Arts was sold to an educational-market company by Arthur Luce 
Klein, who later bought back the recordings that he'd made as Spoken 
Arts (I can't give you dates for those events, sorry) and carried on 
as World of Words (since he'd sold the company name, too). Effective 
July 5, 2001 World of Words and Yale University agreed to establish 
the Arthur and Luce Klein Spoken Arts Audio Collection in HSR, which 
included nearly all the master tapes made for the Spoken Arts label 
and various related paper materials. Preservation projects and 
arrangements to make many of the recordings accessible are under way.

Please feel free to ask questions if that's not enough for your data base.

Best wishes, Richard
