I have almost all of the Decca Parnassas LPs.  They were never in a box
set.  There is a possibility that there might be pressings with
Listening Laboratory labels because they were able to get repressings of
some of the Decca Drama LPs when they were cut out but LL was still
selling.  What was the question about?  If it was whether the Robert
Frost recordings were reissues of the NCTE recordings, the Decca
discography might show that but I don't have that volume.  And I don't
have the NCTE recordings to compare with.
