Editor's note: a very quick introduction I might add! The "Lucy Lynn" segment even seems to have been edited (fairly poorly) as you will hear if you listen for the entire minute and a half of the first side. The shortness of the record leads me to believe that this was part of a series since there are obviously more than 4 instruments in most orchestras. Anyhow, nicely sung, played and educational to boot! I especially like the old Crowley's price sticker on the sleeve.

Yes, the original was an LP with the same graphics on the front cover. The record concludes with the entire orchestra playing the parts heard individually earlier in the recording. I listened to it endlessly as a child, and would use it for my grandchildren if I found a copy. Very well done.
Thank you. While I had the full LP, rather than the collection of 45s, the album made a strong enough impression that I can still hum crumpet the trumpet 50 years later. I had forgotten most of the words, so it was nice to be able to hear the music again. The album was a good introduction to the orchestra to a kid living in north central Montana, far removed from places where symphonies were common. (mhdorsett)
