B.T.W., {Images #670764 & 670766} dates to between 1955 and 1957. |

| | From Murrow, yes. (And B.T.W., he should be the only artist credited on these volumes; 'Edward R. Murrow, Fred W. Friendly' should be the writing credit for these tracks.) |

| | P.S. Robert Trout's newscast in Track B5 about Japan's surrender was a re-creation; the actual aircheck of his newscast from that day was way different in its presentation, not as super-polished as here, and had more of an "on the fly" feel to it. (The website that had that 'check, unfortunately, no longer has them.) |

| | The grey '6 eye' labels (which I have) were made after 1955, and my own pressing was circa 1960, with the matrix prefix shown on the center label as 'x"Lp".' (The front cover was revamped around 1960.) |
