May I ask what you want with it (the Burton one)?

Just my completist thang. I think it's a beautiful bit of prose - all the better for being spoken. Burton's telling of it is very good; and, for its curiosity's sake, my Christmas card this year. But the best reading of it - better than even Thomas's own - is this one, by Bob Kingdom for Beeb 2:

Pretty sure we had a vinyl lp of Dylan Thomas poetry when I was very young*. though I can't remember who did the readings.
Yeah, this looks familiar:
*I mean, even younger than I am now.

One of the early album pressings of Dylan's reading included three loose leaf engravings by Fritz Eichenberg, which are now worth a bit. I don't know if was that one, though.

Never heard of him. Did he do the cover art?

403 Forbidden.
Are you trying to post forbidden images?

No, three loose leaf prints as inserts, I think; later used to illustrate a publication of the text.

That I remember, though not as a loose leaf, but in an insert booklet. This would have been around 1960 so quite possibly misremembered that detail.

No, the loose leaf was my assumption. A leaflet sounds entirely plausible.
