NEVER OPENED OR USED! A fascinating piece of spoken-word history, this LP features actor and scholar Richard Blake in his renowned portrayal of Abraham Lincoln. Released by Illini Records (IL-1776), the album is a dramatic "one-man show" that chronicles Lincoln's life from his early days in Springfield to the weary final years of his Presidency in Washington. The jacket features striking black-and-white photography of Blake in full Lincoln attire, and the back cover provides an extensive biography of the performance's history. This specific copy remains sealed in its original factory shrink wrap, preserving the jacket and the vinyl in pristine, unplayed condition—though there is a small tear in the shrink at the top left corner.
