DRACULA (Spoken Arts) - (52:09) (192 kbps)
Spoken Arts produced a series of superb renditions of several classic novels. The company is, unfortunately, defunct, and there is virtually zero information about them to be found. Quite frankly, I don't even know when these stories were made...though I'm guessing the late 60's or early 70's. Any more information or other productions would be greatly appreciated

Spoken Arts Productions was created in the mid 1960's in New Rochelle, NY by Arthur Klein. (Kline?). They produced records and tapes for use in high school classes. Their main focus was poetry, which is how I know them.
I have never seen a catalog or an online log but I believe the collection is now owned by Yale University which may have some info.Hi there, Bob
