I am attempting to list here all the records which Basil Rathbone made during his lifetime. I decided to remove it after having listened to the soundtrack of the Cole Porter musical, which aired on CBS Television in 1958. Basil Rathbone played the part of the Emperor in the musical and the Emperor has one song on the soundtrack, but George Hall sings the song instead of Basil Rathbone. So, although Basil Rathbone's name is on the cover of the record, his voice is not to be heard anywhere on it. Complete and unabridged readings.
Program includes the spoken and sung texts.
A.E. Housman, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Robert Browning, William Shakespeare, and Stephen Vincent Ben t, as well as from the Bible. Edgar Allen Poe, Vol. Rathbone reads The Raven, The Masque of the Red Death, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Telltale Heart, and The Fall of the House of Usher. Also included is a reading by Vincent Price of The Gold Bug. Volume III of the Masterpieces of Literature series.
