Man, Vynil, that IS a big reckit!
Great design for the cover.
Looks like paperback mystery novel covers from 1946 was my second thought!
Do you enjoy the Stethoscopic Sound they achieved on those Sensitone Surfaces?
Thanks also to

Levant was quite a character in the day. A brilliant pianist, wit, writer, and raconteur. Always played the "Oscar Levant" type character in movies.
Thanks Big-Zingo did you see the 1945 film
he plays a friend of George Gershwin
They really Were friends in real life
