LANGSTON HUGHES POETRY RECITAL
by Langston Hughes

Please excuse the scratches and pops, as these were recorded from a set of 4 78 rpm records from an album released by ASCH records from 1945. These are 65 year old records.
Notice the spine of the album misspelled LANGSTON as LAGSTON...

Cover art is by David Stone Martin, a noted illustrator, best known for his illustrations on jazz albums.
