RG 200-299 (mono), ZRG 5200-5299 (stereo)

Classical music recordings take a back seat as Argo issues a dozen more Shakespeare plays, gets involved with the Royal Shakespeare Company, gives a voice (in their own language) to some of the greats of European prose and poetry – and issues a lone ‘folk’ LP, Brendan Behan singing and sounding, according to a contemporary review, like a punch-drunk busker.

Spoken word in yellow, classical grey and Brendan Behan in green.
