The Blue And The Gray (fragment) 1955

The Blue And The Gray
9th November 1955
Written and produced by Charles Chilton
(last 3 minutes only)

I just remembered I also have a fragment of another Charles Chilton work. The rest of the reel seemed to have been recorded over sometime in the 60's but this remained at the end.  I know that the music from the show was released as a Decca LP in 1961 but I don't know if they used audio from the show or re-recorded it.
