This is a radio transcription of the Orson Welles Mercury Radio Theater featuring a segment of jazz by Kid Ory's Creole Jazz Band.  The platter is an experimental glass compound hoping to replace the lacquer records were usually made of.  Turns out this experiment didn't last too long when folks figured out that glass breaks really easily.  Duh!  Anyway, this is some good jazz and probably rare on this medium.  Enjoy!  And, yes, I know the label is on the wrong side of the record.
