AH, WILDERNESS! by Eugene O'Neill: the Caedmon Records recording of the Theater Recording Society performance (1970)

The first performance of O'Neill I'd seen or heard. (And, since this one briefly was not available at time of first posting, here's the somewhat older audio adaptation for network radio...The U. S. Steel Hour [NBC].)

Four, I think, LPs...you stacked them on a spindle and four discs had sides 1-4, then you flipped the stack for sides 5-8.  A long afternoon with my father's 1960s Koss headphones, on my parents' spindled turntable...
