Some Mercury Theater productions were issued by Columbia on 78s and again on
Entre on LP.

Are you limiting it to theatrical plays recorded specifically for records?

There were several radio adaptations of theatrical works that were released
on lp; an example would be a radio adaptation of "Streetcar"
about the time of its original Broadway run put out on lp in the 70s on
Radiola, I believe, and a Murray Hill set of all the CBS Shakespeare
one-hour adaptations done as a summer series in the late 30s. Radiola also
released the late 30's Mercury Theater adaptation of William Gillette's
"Sherlock Holmes".
