Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm "Simulated Stereo" record album, Decca DL 75125, very-good-plus vinyl in a very good cardboard jacket, which includes 12 cuts, 6 per side (which is odd, since the original radio episodes were 30 minutes -- presumably 22 or… so minus the ads. But even shorn of cereal ads, "How He Became The Lone Ranger, Part 1 and Part 2," here runs seven minutes, meaning it's been edited down by two-thirds. Next come "He finds Silver, Part 1 and Part 2," then "He Finds Dan Reid, Part 1 and Part 2," all on one side. Meantime, why Decca opted to devote the jacket's entire front panel to the old joke that sees the Ranger and his faithful Indian companion coming under Indian attack, at which point Tonto delivers the time-worn punchline "What you mean WE, paleface?" we can't imagine. Though, combined with the chain-saw editing of the original episodes, we must conclude the Decca gang simply evinced no respect for the (admittedly somewhat derivative) mythmaking of WXYZ station owner George Trendle and scriptwriter Fran Striker -- and wasn't about to waste time soliciting cast photos. Disc now reduced from $14.
