To the members of the list:
I have a request - for about the past 20 years I've attempted to
find a
copy of the Nabokov Spoken Arts LP which was made back in the '60's,
Nabokov
reading parts of _Lolita_ and some of his poems. Recently a copy was
for
sale on Ebay and it renewed my interest. The price got up to over 50
dollars, which never made the seller's reserve price, and which was
way more
than I was willing to pay for it anyway. I learned that the recording
was
reissued in '84 on cassette, which I had never realized, but it is
long gone
today. I live in Atlanta and have not found it in any of the nearby
university library collections. If anyone has this recording, would
it be
possible for me to pay for either a cassette copy of it, or _even
better_ a
copy burned onto a CD? I assume that this is a legal request, since
the item
is not "in print". I'm willing to pay something in the neighborhood
of 15
dollars for this, and appreciate any responses. If someone has spare
copies
of the cassette issued in '84, I'm willing to purchase one for a
reasonable
price. Thanks.
