ODHAM'S
LIVING LANGUAGE COURSE*
1961
You FREE TRIAL FRENCH LESSON ~ ooh! . Love this square Picture
Disc! Great period piece,
and so attractive one would have been quite tempted to order a
set! With the quote
"Amazing NEW
method - you learn as you
listen", this picture flexi solicits a box set of
10" LPs. Back has testimonials from many 'delighted
students'. States that this course is
also available on 78rpm discs. As the mailing envelope is dated
1961, I assume that as it
boasts 'New method' this set must have been available for quite
some time, as French language
course on 78rpm had been available some years prior to this. I
wonder if R. Waters Esq.
of Garth Road in Morden, Surrey took up their offer?.* EX+
