Subject: RE: archy and mehitabel
I have an LP that says it's

"archy and mehitabel
a back-alley opera
narrated by
DAVID WAYNE
Words - JOE DARION
Music - GEORGE KLEINSINGER
Notes - E. B. White
based on stories and vignettes of
DON MARQUIS
orchestra conducted by the composer."

The other side says it has

"DAVID WAYNE
echoes of archy"
(Words, music, conducted as above)

The cast is Carol Channing, Eddie Bracken, and Percival Dove. It looks (and sounds) like a show, Broadway or off, but the cover doesn't say.

It's good.

What I have is a Columbia Special Products reissue, Columbia AOL 4963, (P) 1974,
