Re: [ARSCLIST] Stanley Holloway vinyl

[Thomas Stern <sternth@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi David,
  Don't have any info on a Hamlet soundtrack excerpt.  Was it released on 78
or LP?  Please-details if you have them.  Thanks!
  There were 2 Caedmon recordings - Macbeth and As You Like It which list
Holloway, I assume they also did Hamlet - was Holloway on that?
  There is only one Wonderland that I have listed (1415 Elephant Alphabet),
but the Riverside online discography has lots of numbers with no
information, so it might have been reissued - another list suggested a title
which sounds Wonderland-ish "What Happened at the zoo" but no label
information.
  Best wishes, Thomas.

That's one I've never heard of..unless maybe it was REISSUED on Wonderland
(seems to me I might have something in the kiddie section I haven't looked
at
in years).

I didn't look but did you list the Hamlet soundtrack excerpt (How Long Has
Thou
Been Gravedigger) from 1948?

Seems to me Holloway didn't do much recording at all in the 40s and into the
50s. Too busy making movies.
